Come on Fleetwood!
I really wanted to see the new Fleetwood Discovery LXE. So today at lunch time I stopped by our local dealer and looked at a 40G. Just looking from a distance it's gorgeous. I had read on another ...

I was on a dealers lot early yesterday and was surprised at how some of the more expensive rigs were so badly designed. Sure, they'd be really nice once all the slides were opened but they'd be horrible to spend 5 days in while traveling to say, Alaska. Not designed to stop along the side of the road to enjoy the view, that's for sure.
But I guess that's par for the course. Go tour used RVs from just before the crash of '08 and you'll find a slew of poorly designed and built rigs too.
I noticed that all the Winnebagos the designs looked like they'd lost all their good people and a committee of 'never-been-in-a-RV (more than a few minutes)' people took over the design duties. The newer Journey's were really not to my liking and showed a lack of detailing.
A newer Thor design team decided they like the floor plan of my 2002 Journey as much as I do as theirs is a nearly exact copy.
I'm happy that I made the decisions to buy used, with low miles, and for exactly the features I was looking for.
I also discovered that it's unlikely I'll ever move back to a smaller rig.
