The initial price is NOT a good indication of the OVERALL COST! <br /><br />After that, we did a lot of looking and a lot of test driving. Found out that what looks good on the sales lot may not feel so great on the freeway when trucks are going past!<br /><br />Also did a lot of research both online and with some cd's from RV Consumer Group. www.rv.org is their website. They have a lot of good information on all brands.<br /><br />Keep looking and you will find something that really clicks with you. We finally did, and couldn't be happier. So glad we took the time to make an intelligent choice.Russ Krecklowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003451276135546632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-54626838309610005732011-06-30T11:18:50.556-07:002011-06-30T11:18:50.556-07:00Well, Merikay, You have totally adapted to your ne...Well, Merikay, You have totally adapted to your new dream! Parttime RVing. That will be lots of fun too and you may evolve from there to fultiming. Who knows? You don't have to know. Do ya? Anyway, sounds like you're having fun with the research and you're getting excited about taking some trips. Very good for you. I hope you have a very great fourth of July. I'm scheduled to work that day at Royal Oaks Park. I think it'll probably be pretty quiet over there. See ya.Prettypics123https://www.blogger.com/profile/05002015227586327112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-65875023770088840822011-06-30T08:44:56.755-07:002011-06-30T08:44:56.755-07:00RV shopping is a blast.

There are some great rigs in that "category" That 30W is an excellent floor plan! Our personal favorite in this arena is our original moose - a 2008 Voyage (or Itasca Sunrise) 32H. After 2008 the 32H was available in the Adventurer/Suncruiser. At 32 feet it was nimble enough to get around easily, and with its full-wall slide it lived more like a 35 footer. It also has an extended wheel base, so it didn't have a big "back end" beyond the back wheels. Hope this helps!<br /><br />Isn't there a Winnie dealer in Morgan Hill? <br /><br />Have a great time shopping. If you have any questions, just ask. <br /><br />Thanks for the posts about your work. Quite fascinating!!!Paul and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236102580496167796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-79123706266399666542011-06-30T07:03:34.127-07:002011-06-30T07:03:34.127-07:00We have a 37' gas motor home and I love it.

I agree with others, when you find the right one you just know it because it feels right. We probably looked at 60 or 70 rigs before we walked into this one.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-36244061098631263832011-06-30T05:36:34.219-07:002011-06-30T05:36:34.219-07:00I was just talking to my husband about this the ot...I was just talking to my husband about this the other day after reading Windows With A View latest post and her disappointments with her outings with Olivia....if at all possible I would try to find the model you thing you like and rent it for a week and just see...I know it is expensive doing it that way but might be cheaper in the long run. And make sure you are going to use it enough to warrent buying...they are expensive to just sit in the driveway...also in Az at least there are so many nice ones people are selling themself...unless buying new I would stay away from the dealers...you can buy lots of gas by eliminating the middle man.ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-62241982364835816292011-06-30T04:41:14.311-07:002011-06-30T04:41:14.311-07:00I love the excitement that comes with looking for ...I love the excitement that comes with looking for an RV. We have had a couple Class C's, a Travel Trailer & a 5th Wheel but it is the Motorhome concept that worked best for us in the end. Of all our RV's it is the Motorhome that is the most fun to drive & it is easier than many think. Our 33' length allows us to get into just about anywhere but of course whatever size you have you always think bigger is better. Sure, I would love a 40' diesel pusher but I'm sure it would be too big for a lot of the boon docking areas we love so much. I think the biggest bugaboo we & others have about our rigs is the lack of counter space in the kitchen area. If we were looking for another RV, that would be a priority & a kitchen slide out would be high on the list too. And a stand up shower instead of a dinky little tub too. Maybe bigger holding tanks & for sure a bigger hot water heater. And, pull out pantry shelves would really be nice!! I think having the toilet separate from the shower might be something else we would look at too. Lots of options, lots to look at & think about eh. But oh, the excitement of it all:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-23460030697631614952011-06-30T04:40:33.115-07:002011-06-30T04:40:33.115-07:00Have fun looking....isn't it fun??

Then you walk into the right one, and it's perfect! Amazing how that happens. I always think when the time is right and you've done your research, it happens. But it is fun looking until then because you never know if the next trip you'll find it! I enjoyed that.
