Made the Leap ~~~ ---->

After a little over two years, getting the RV bug, over 18,000 miles, averaging camping every other weekend, with several 10 day trips, with this setup ---



Recent Change of job, putting me back to commuting a good distance for work (Tundra MPG not good) and finding a floor-plan, and size C that fits in our RV Carport at home, WE MADE THE LEAP on a dream setup ~~ --->




2014 Sunseeker 2690SF (Discontinued floorplan, was tricky to find descent 28 foot Class C options, thisone fit our needs/wants)!!!

To offset, the commuting expense, my new work commuter --


Along with the 30MPG, CRV from what I hear makes a good tow vehicle, and look it matches our Class C graphics.

Looking forward to our NEW adventures!!!

    Congrats on your new RV!

    Wait till you pull into your first CG with the Class C and find out all you have to do is pull in, put it in park, and open a cold one!!

    Sure beats the whole drop the trailer, leveling, set it up, drag stuff out of your tow vehicle back to the TT and on and on and on.


    You'll wonder why you waited so long to buy a MH! :B

    Looks nice. Congratulations. +1 on the just pull in and put it in park. That's why my wife and I switched from tent camping to an RV (besides being more comfortable than sleeping on the ground). Nice to keep it packed and ready to go so when works done we can take just off and if we get where we're going after dark we don't have to deal with setting up anything. On long trips it's also nice to just be able to pull into a rest stop when we're tired and then continue on our way without dealing with hotels.

    Congrats! Nice looking rig.

    We are about 60 miles south of Atlanta and have that same yucky ice/snow everywhere! We were planning on hitting a state park this weekend but will see what happens with weather. Meanwhile, I'm stuck at home with work closed for 2 days (college campus) and wife is stuck staying at work (hospital) for 2 days. Crazy weather!!!

    Congratulations on the new RV.

    One thing you may want to consider when switching from a TT to a toad is to protect the front of the car. 3M does an "invisible" film that you can have the front of the car wrapped in. Since the CRV looks brand new you may want consider that as soon as you install a base plate. I didn't at first. That was a mistake, but at least the car was a couple years old already.
