3414. Awesome floorplan. And it has options we didn't really want but I'm sure we'll find a way to use them. Crazy days here.

Gotta update my signature when I get the new rig.

Very nice, same model we our looking at. Just need to love enough to justify increasing budget. LOL

Anyone have recommendation for good Newmar dealer around Virginia area? Willing to travel and purchase if good dealer. Thanks

Speaking of that no suitcase/airport feeling :) We took off for a 2 week Anniversary in our 5th wheel years ago and broke an axle and had to leave the 5th wheel at a shop. We looked real strange checking into a Las Vegas hotel at valet with a dually and nothing but trash bags for suitcases. Later that week we had to buy suitcases so we could fly home :)

Not dumping at every opportunity may cost you a night or two in a beautiful dry/boondocking campsite. Filing with fresh water too. Not good advice IMO.

What's the "bother?"

HA!

Yeah, even when we camped in our trailer, we loved the "no suitcases/airports/etc." feeling.

Just finalizing things with the dealer. Always a ton of questions.

Oh yeah, ease of setting up is wonderful. Even in a CG, if it's just a one-night stay, I usually don't bother with water or sewer connection and unless we need something energy-heavy overnight (like AC), I may not bother with hooking up to CG power either. Plus no need to lug suitcases/cooler/valuables into a hotel room. Just park and sleep. Can't be beat!

You do have to be careful where you park, though. I pulled into my BIL's driveway about 1 am at the end of a long trip and we all hit the hay, planning on greetings in the morning. Come morning, there was a stranger peering into the front window. I opened the window and said "You aren't Steve." Turned out we had parked in the wrong driveway! lol Fortunately he knew my BIL and after apologizing profusely, we drove over a few houses and parked in the *right* driveway.

Might look at Rocky Gap State Park

Best of Luck,

"On the Prius you have to tow front wheels up"

That's what I found too, monkeyman. But with the front wheels up, the Prius rear ground clearance will be small.

Have fun

We went from a class a that we enjoyed for many years to a TT for near 3 years. It was a nice unit but for a number of reasons ( many expressed here) we went back to a class A.
In the end our choice was Newmar. We toured the Factory in Indiana and we are really impressed with Newmar's build process.
I love the convenience of a class A and the ease of set up on site.
cangrats on your purchase.
