Good Morning FOOFs
We went to the big RV show this weekend at the Florida State fairgrounds in Tampa. Every year I go, I feel lucky that we bought our Motorhome when we did. I could definately not afford a new one now. They had big mark downs on Class A motorhomes, however they are much more expense now than when I bought ours 6 years ago. I talked to a salesman and he said they were having to discount them more because of the high interest rates. My wife and I found a diesel pusher that we really liked but I am not going to pay that kind of money. Our Motorhome is within 2 years of being paid off so I am not going to get in debt again. It's still fun to walk around and look at all the stuff I can't afford. We always make a weekend out of it We stayed across the street from the fairgrounds at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. My wife gets 3 free rooms a month because of the points she keeps on her players card.
I hope more of the group is able to figure out the new site.

Boy I know what you mean, Burch. I bought my motorhome a year ago and I was fortunate to find one owned by a couple who wanted rid of it. They had no lien on it either so that made it easier. They found themselves in the unfortunate situation of having to live in it full time and it's more of a "B." They loved it for travel but needed something bigger. And it was just down the road from me. They were asking a reasonable price for it but wouldn't bargain further on the price. Fortunately I could afford it. I had looked at a different manufacturer and the owner wanted $20,000 more for a very similar coach. I asked her why she was asking a "new" price for one a year old. She said, "Cause you have to wait so long for a new one right now." So she considered the "availability" to be worth $20,000. I was glad I looked at it, though, because I was considering that coach, but I really did not like it. I LOVE my Coach House.
