Ron ... that little Starflyte was a real sweet rig!
What's your take on why U.S. builders no longer offer RV's like this? Why is it we have to go to Europe to find these great compact Class C type RVs?
I really like my brother's Starflyte, but back in 2007, like the Rialta, a used Starflyte was a pile money, not worth buying a used one when I could buy the rig have brand new made special for us. I am glad we have our PC. But the Starflyte today is very affordable because they are now so old.
My brother owns a Starflyte because I educated him about them. He and his wife previously traveled in a make-shift conversion van and wanted something more, but not something so big. He has limited parking of which the Starflyte works just right for them. But he is thinking bigger as of late. He has to tear down his old garage and reconfigure his space for a bigger rig.
