Looks like we're comin back.
We are getting closer, and closer to full retirement and have been wrestling with what to get for "THE BIG TOUR" when we do. We've decided on a Monaco or Holiday Rambler class A from the mid 2000's just before the "crash". We had an 05 HR Admiral SE 34 SBD for 5 or 6 years and did the "weekend warrior" thing with it. We still managed to put 42,000 miles and I have to admit that it's hard to beat convenience of a class A. Get out lock the toad, push a few buttons, and 15 minutes later (if that long) your ready to sleep for the night.
I think we've settled on something like the 30PDD or a floorplan similar. We don't want to go over 30" so we can visit all the National parks....(on the bucket list)....and they seem to have all that we need. 5K towing and right around 3,000lbs of CC, that makes it possible to tow the Ranger with the Harley in the bed and still have plenty of capacity for junk. We hardly ever carried more than 1,000lbs of stuff with us in the 05 once we figured out that we had stuff in it that we will NEVER use....LOL A diesel pusher isn't out of the picture, but I'm not sure the 10K+ extra purchase cost, plus the higher maintenance costs for a diesel would be worth it to us...10K buys ALOT of fuel!
