Just left the Class A members

[bsinmich]

This morning I sold my Newmar Mountain Aire and just have my Roadtrek now. I am looking forward to seeing many various places as a single traveler and didn't need the 6 steps up into the A. I have a problem with steps. My problem now is what do I do with all that "stuff" that I took out of 38' and doesn't fit into a 19' MH? There is a lot less than half the space.

When we have stuff to donate, we give it either to the Kiwanis, Salvation Army or the Soroptimists, all of whom have thrift stores here in town.

One or two stores in a national business does not make a company policy.....it may reflect one or two stores behavior.

I wish I didn't know what I know about the shoddy accounting and treatment of challenged employees. I'm not nearly the fan of Good Will, that I used to be. Maybe there is some other local shelter or organization you can donate to.

Sorry to hear about the physical problems, and the downsizing. Hope things work out well for you.

Then just throw the******in the trash!

Salvation Army has a good reputation.

I also avoid Goodwill. Our local store here in Holland must be doing good business by the size of the addition they are adding to their building. We have LOVE INC here which is In the Name of Christ plus several others. They got a lot from my wife's closet last year also.

My condolences to you, I'm sorry for your loss. Six steps? I got it. Its just too bad that there is no suitable railing to use. I was going to suggest something along the way of a ADA power assist contraption of sorts. Wished I could help you out.

My wife passed due to stage 4 gall bladder cancer after fighting it for two years, less than 6 months ago. We had been searching for our first MH for those years even though she was battling cancer. She wanted it. Seems after we finally found one, signed the dotted line, well she never got to ride in it and really enjoy it. Now the Class A is just sitting curbside. You may want to take the "stuff" to the goodwill. Get a few friends to help you. I still haven't taken my wife's items out yet. Guess I need to for closure.

NOW, if I get to the point where I having the same problem,......I really don't know what the heck I'll do. I'm sorry for your partial lose of mobility.

My wife had her 3rd knee replacement and the steps were no problem but a year ago she passed away from cancer in liver, spine &lung. I only used the Mountain Aire once after that. Driving it to the dealer I wondered if it was the right decision but when I tried to get back I knew it was right. I have already been to Salvation Army with 2 loads.

We needed room for storage on our 26ft. Itasca iq so added a rack carrier on the back with a big plastic lockbox to store stuff in. Really helped give us room for the things we may need like extra blankets, back packs, water, etc.

Have fun! We miss our smaller MH!

You probably sold the wrong one, if you could have worked it out with the step issue. I feel that I would need as much room with being alone as I would with two. Besides, you never know what you might pick up along the way... 🙂
