Welcome Aboard Mainer. Being able to do upgrades and repairs lends itself nicely to RV ownership and it sounds like you have the ability to do those. We bought our gently used 211 two years ago and love it. Small and easy to park anywhere we sight see but large enough to camp for several days like on our spur of the moment trip to Pensacola FL over the holidays. We have been to almost every state in the eastern U.S. with it in the last two years and hope to add the Northeast and especially Maine soon.
