Retired
RVF VIP
Im not going to worry about covered parking. I can park at a nearby storage place for $50 a month and put a cover on it. So thats the plan.
1. The misses has taken to a 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 37C with less than 10,000 miles on a WH chassis, 8.1, for 36.5k. Its pretty loaded, 3 slides, washer drier, 4-door fridge, excellent condition inside and out, 2 owner.
2. 2009 Holiday Rambler Augusta, 28ft, E-450, 2 slides, full body paint, 360 cameras, very good condition, 50,000 miles, 42k, seller anxious, room to negotiate, his words
3. 2007 R-Vision Trail Lite B Plus, 28ft, E-450, 3 slides, very good condition, 16,000 miles, 33k.
Maybe 1. 2009 Thor Four Winds Hurricane 33T, 34ft, 2 slides, 15,000 miles, new tires, lots of upgrades & maintenance, always indoor storage, 40k. Seller says it is under contract.
Maybe 2, 2011 Majestic 24C, former Cruise America, 123,000 miles, E-350, 5.4, Looks as nice as the 17s they are selling now. 26k.
The misses likes the Southwind, with the Hurricane second. The Southwind has more features but is older, she says the Southwind is like an apartment.
I like The R-Vision. The Augusta has the updated front end, but The R-Vision has more sf in the same length and for 9k-ish less. Its also a lot less maintenance than a Class A.
The Majestic is a basic no frills Class C. It will get the job done but the E-350 has no room to expand and the 5.4 is going to work. I can see pulling a small box trailer with a couple mopeds and whatever doesnt fit in the coach.
All fit the budget with money leftover for repairs/maintenance.
Im pretty sure this is not our first and last RV. Summer of 25 we will both be fully retired and I think if we continue to RV we will want something newer and more techie. There will be tons of new stuff in the next few years and although Ive always lagged behind what I saw as useless bling, Im starting to like it.
If the Fleetwood is still there this Wed, thats what we will probably end up with. Thats the first day we can thoroughly inspect and then sit and negotiate. Its about 4 hours from the house.
