I've been reading the forum for several months now and just registered as a member.
This discussion is very interesting to me becaue of our new rig.
We bought a new 26' Class A in '04, but, recently, because of a health condition, I was finding it difficult to drive for more than a couple of hours at a time and DW didn't care to drive it all that much. So, we downsized to an '03 Phoenix Cruiser. It is so much more comfortable to drive, for both of us, that we have put 5,000 miles on it since we purchased it in mid-april and have a 4,200 mile trip planned for this fall.
I am grateful the rv industry seems to have something for all of us.
