March of 2001 we got into the RV world and purchased a 30 Ft JACO TT. Immediately joined a camping group and had the time of our lives. In Jun, we decided that our Chevy 1500 Silverado just wasn't strong enough to do any serious mountain terrain, etc and bought a new 2500 Silverado HD 8 ft 4x4.
In September (3 months later, we woke up one Saturday morning and decided to peruse our local RV dealer (Leisure Tyme RV). Immediately fell in love with a used (like new) 2000 Dutchstar 35Ft slide, V-10, Ford Chassis. They gave me an excellent trade on the TT and we went home with our first Class-A.
Did we make a mistake. Certainly not! When we purchased the 1500 we really wanted and needed a 2500 8 ft bed and 4x4. Oh, by the way, the truck is the wifes (she uses it for her property business). I drive a 2000 Z-3.
Our Dutchstar has all the bells and whistles we probably would ever need (and some). Plenty of room and it's a dream to drive.
We're looking forward to a long and lasting relationship with our Dutchstar. We both work and probably will for another 8 years or so (both in our low 50's). We try to get out as often as we can (put 8,000 miles since last Sept).
