The new ride! (i.e. finally bought one!)

After many posts, and many thanks to many of you for a lot of great advice, we finally bought our first RV!

here are a couple of blurry photos I grabbed with my phone before we went to sign the paperwork:

It's a 2009 Fleetwood Excursion 40x. My wife likes the floorpan but wishes there was a bit more cabinet space. On the plus side, there's a ton of basement storage so she's happy about that.

As for me, 360HP and 1000 ft-lbs of torque with plenty of CCC even if we pull our 5000lb van.

It drive well and is pretty quiet. I was very excited to see it already had one solar panel on the roof. I want to put a solar setup up top and it's nice that I don't have to run wires and all that.

Next task is to figure out how to tow the van. Post coming up!

  • dang you got those images embedded. It drove me crazy trying to do that!

    Thanks by the way, we really think we got a deal. it has a washer/dryer + a diswasher. Also side view cameras, passthrough storage even in-motion satellite. We're excited to pick it up!




  • Wow! Nice coach!!!!!

    Congrats to you and your family and may you have many safe and happy adventures.

    (And if you or someone else gets the photos to work, I'll delete the ones in my post.)
