Thanks guys. Back in the day my dad got him a huge old Pace Arrow; so proud when he finally "got there". I was always a smaller camper and trailer kind of guy. I asked him about its gas mileage - 5-6. He said, "that's not very good for a car, but it's pretty darn good for a house". These days a 34J house can be had for about $11K. I guess they don't match up to a diesel pusher type house, but then as the Rainbirds say "What a nice rig", and at a fraction of the cost.
We got this new TT and found the retirement travel we bought it for just isn't what we like, months at a time, etc. We're finding a trip here, a trip there, often fairly close to home, maybe pulling the boat (would you launch a boat on the ramp with a MH?), maybe with some of the kids. Then, when we just want to go the two of us further across the country, we expect Lil' Queeny just might do us.
Nobody seems to want a new used TT - maybe because of a glut on the market. Maybe the dealer on a trade-in and we'll get one of those big Class A's plus something else, maybe some cash. Something to take the grands in, something to let the kids take with their fams. Maybe that's the way to trade around?
We'd love any thoughts!
