Ian - When you figure out how to incorporate THAT into your 19', let us know!! Right now, we're utilizing the cupboard below the sink, by the floor. Works pretty good for keeping things cool and secure; however, we can't stack that many bottles. Although, (okay everyone, cringe ... ) we can fit in three boxes (yes, boxes) of Bonny Doon wine (hexagon shaped) in there with NO problems.

Love the RAM! Haven't towed yet, but it is a beauty unloaded. Local driving, I sometimes wish for the higher final gears but locking out the higher gears works fine. She loved the open road (divided highway) at 80+ and felt more in control than my (now sold) early model X5. Might have to put a dark red graphic on her to match the trailer aka Alf-ise it.

Trailer is being stored at ETI until spring. I may have to go over before then to check her out.

Hey, nothing to be ashamed of. We often buy Black Box, Wineberry, Bandit or Nuvino boxed wines. They're first rate and easier to haul. Great for BBQs and get togethers too. It doesn't have to be crap just because of the packaging.

Try Bonny Doon's "The Usual Suspect" Cab. Great.

I am actually working on several traveling wine rack designs now, but I will have to wait until spring to test them. Trust me once I have something I will be posting pictures and plans.

The wonderful thing about wine is everyone has their preferences in both flavour and price, and the wine stores are filled with something for everyone.

The decals are battleship grey, Kim recommended them as they go well with the black trim on the windows, the aluminum wheels and my silver (titanium) coloured tow vehicle.

The production date we chose and have seen all along has been November 10 but we just checked the paperwork that we received from ETI this week and they appear to have moved it ahead to October 23

ETI is fine letting it sit in their fenced yard until your schedule lets you pick it. Happened to us, we picked up about 12 days after completion.

Thanks Charlie, this was our plan from the start, we will be picking it up on our way to the 2015 Escape Rally, Chilliwack gets a lot less snow over the winter than we do here.

Dunno how deep the wheel well level cabinets are on the 19, but on our 21 they make fine wine bottle holders. I made dividers for ours; under the fridge the space has no top so can stick really tall bottles there (Riesling in my case.)

My concern with that location is temperature, exposed to the outside of the fridge it may be too warm. Again I will have to wait until we pick our 19 up to decide on the best location and design for our wine rack.

I re-purposed a wine rack from a kitchen cart. Just placed it in the bottom of the wardrobe - a cool dark place.

We're here in Aldergrove, BC, ready for tomorrow's orientation and Sumas delivery of Toto the 21. Lots of excitement. Crystal was kind enough to send us these pix today while we drove up from Gig Harbor -- to "tide us over." Indeed.
