    acuired a new toy last week. should make long trips much easier on the ol'lady. she loves to go and ride, but not the length and distance i want. compromise. go where we want, set up, then ride to all the places we want to see. use if for a motel and basecamp.........i get to go to the places i want and she is a bit more comfy on the way.:) one sign of old age i guess.....;)

    it is a 4winds with 50k on the clock....v12 32 ft long

    They are great we love ours and plan on using it as long as we can afford to fill it up with the higher gas prices. Ours is a 1999 class A with a 454 in it but only a 28 foot with the bed at the back.

    How long is it and what motor?

    Very nice Chuck, your a bit longer than we are. We have the big onan on it to with lots of basement storage on it. Were thinking of taking a trip to AZ this spring in it (got to take the sick cat of the wifes).
    I also go it set up to pull the small car behind it as well as the motorcycle trailer.

    No camels in Minn. - they ain't allowed on the interstates up there - you just gonna hafta saddle up and ride south JB. - Try one of the rallies in KY or TN. for a short ride then maybe Fla if you can get the OL to agree.
    I see a RV in yer future so start savin now once the gals find out how much fun they can be your never hear the end of it until you get her one and that goes with age. :D

    It will be in about April, I will be taking a trip down to Florida or Texas to pick up a bike. Question is, will I be able to meet the people from this forum when I head down to one of these places???

    An RV would be cool, it will be when I get to be CB's age though. :D
