The problem with our house is it is in the mountains of SoCal. It is a custom built home on 1/2 acre with a 3 car garage that even my truck fits in, but it is 15 miles from town and all the houses around us are listed for $100-175K less than we owe. To add to the drama, there are 4-5 foreclosures on our street alone. Some have been listed for 3+ years. I talked to the local realtor and she said unfortunately all the foreclosures and short sales are keeping the market depressed(and the fact there are no jobs in the area 25% unemployment).

I really don't want to be three states over and hassel with a renter but short of walking away or short sale, we don't have much choice. I also don't want to be stressing over the House while on the road. People who walked away or short sale still need a place to live if they work local so we are hoping for honest dependable renters. In the short time we will move into the 5ver and monitor it for a short time before we get rollin.

Thanks you guys for your kind words. Also not to change the subject but I noticed when I picked up the 5ver last friday the headlights were straight down the road. Because the hitch weight is 2500 lbs. Did most of you install air bags or adjust your headlights more toward the pavement? If I install air bags, do you have to constantly adjust them between loaded and unloaded?
