Tom ... thanks for your post ... which kindof brought me back down to Earth.
What we have is a 2005 Itasca 24V we bought new from a dealer in 2006, and it meets an awful lot of the criteria on the long list I posted earlier in this thread. Just for fun I've kept up on what's been available in the Class C market since we bought and the exact build qualtiy, features list, and specifications of what we have cannot be duplicated today from any manufacturer - including the Coach House, Lazy Daze, and Phoenix Cruiser offerings. I guess Winnebago was in rare form back then.
P.S. My pre-retirement career work and retirement volunteer work have taken me to Asia and Europe, including such diverse places as rural Cambodia and the Switserland countryside, and FWIW .... I have no desire to visit places such as those as a retired tourist, in an RV or otherwise. It's pretty difficult to beat the good U.S. of A. when it comes to boondock RV'ing in the West on our spectacular public lands. (Well, on second thought, it would be nice to boodock RV camp in that incomparable 2 million acre Patagonia national park network - if could get my good old Itasca back in there!)
