38' triple slide, triple axle and wood frame is what makes up most of the weight. Of course, all of our goodies don't help!. I always say, we are fulltimers and while we do boondock out west some, I'm NOT camping. Hugs,Di

Thanks for your kind word about our Carriage.
Will be 20 years of fulltiming in it on Jan 31 2016.
Might have been misunderstood on giving it up. We will get off the road someday but not in the near future unless health kicks us in the butt!!
I'm like you,I have never figured out how to post pictures of our ReDo inside and out. If anyone wants to pm me, I can send them a link that will take them to the before and after pictures. Hugs, Di
PS Dutch will be 84 this coming September and still going strong. And nope, I'm not NEAR that old!!!!

I am now upgrading mine (see signature). Over the next two years will put in new floor, awning, leveling system and tires. Still a great savings over a new one, and I already have a new suspension under it. Should last as long as I will want to drive.
