Sold mine too! :-)

Said "Goodbye" to the old girl. New owners arrived from Alaska and after a short "how to course", they headed on down the road. We had a lot of fun in this coach, but that being said, it was time.

Congratulations @Jim on your sale. I got a little choked up with the photos of your coach driving away. Looking forward to coming to your park when I get my coach.

Funny, I did too! But it went away fast enough.

I showed them everything I could pack into 1.5 hour presentation, and I think they got most of it. Enough anyway that when they get to the first stop they'll know enough to get things set up for the night. Getting rolling the next day, well that might be a different story. We'll see!

Congrats on getting a new coach. From what I've heard, it's going to be a beauty. Happy for you! I hope you get a chance to bring it out to the park, would love to see you, the pups and of course, the coach.

Congrats! Now with that distraction gone.... back to work on that campground! Looking forward to getting back down when time allows. Will watch and see what you pick up when the time to shop arrives!

Congrats! Now with that distraction gone....

Yeah, she's gone. Somebody showed me their RV one day and . . . well, that cinched her fate.

Congrats on the sale! Personally I don't believe the used coach market will stay this strong through to the spring but I may be wrong.

Just heard from the new owner. They're in Seattle, planning to cross into Canada early Saturday. They're making good time!

The problem is, as I face this dilemma, is how long is this sellers market going to go? I don't think it's ending as fast as we thought. My guess is it's around for at least another year.

This dilemma will be around for a while. When the supply chain dries up, it takes a lot of effort to fill it back up, prices will go up and settle down with increases. If you bought the coach before Covid and got a deal you have just had your coach increase as the supply chain struggles to replace the inventory. Also the chip problem is affecting many price points and the vehicle market is and has gone up. There are lots of unknown variables that are in play. If a person sells their coach at a high price, they will pay a high price to replace it. So our friend made a great increase, but will pay more to replace it if they do. Simply put inflation is on the rise!

Congrats on the sale.

Just heard from Bob, the new owner, and it appears they have arrived in Anchorage. Bob is the fellow on the right. I have to say that both Bob and the Phaeton showed some serious stamina, for a couple of old(er) rigs that is!
