RV-12iS Tailkit has arrived!
This is exciting! I'm more than ready to get started!
I pulled these old flat dollies that my father built many years ago when he began to loose some strength in his arms and legs. They were a big help to him when he wanted to move things around in the house and his shop. I didn't know if I would need them to get the tail kit into the garage, so I decided to be prepared.


The ABF truck arrived (a big 18 wheeler!) and the driver (Brandon), offered to wheel the kit straight into the garage. WHAT A NICE GUY!


What a neat a gizzmo for moving things around. This dude was self-powered!


I grabbed my crowbar and hammer and started working my way around, loosening the top piece of plywood.


WOW! What a job of packing! That's impressive...


I decided to pull out all the parts to show everyone what comes in the kit. (check the video below)


All the parts are either wrapped in plastic or in this huge amount of protective paper. I think my wife is in there somewhere..


I managed to get the whole pile of paper into two garbage bags. Not bad...


Check out the video!
