My wife and I purchased our 1st RV at the recent Hershey Show. We purchased a Thor Miramar 34.1. We liked everything about this coach. I do have a list of several things that need repaired by Camping World. I hope it serves us well, we are both looking forward to camping on the east coast.

Haven't seen many reviews on the Miramar so I would be curious to know how yours treats you. Ride, comfort, noise level, components etc.

Congrats and happy travels.

Haha, well, sometimes those awesome sun sets and sun rises are the happiest times too. I think the above statement applies to boats a lot. But with an RV, there can be many - MANY - happy times.


However, each is different so that may hold true.

Thanks much everyone, I can feel the obsession. I am retired my wife has a year and a half to go. I am amazed at all the information on this forum and I certainly have a lot to learn but looking forward to it. I always wanted a beach house, almost brought one years ago but can't afford one at today's prices. I believe this is going to be better for us since we can go different places. We were planning a trip with the granddaughter to Disney and now are looking at taking the RV. My wife has a meeting in Wisconsin next year and we are thinking of taking the RV. Thanks again everyone, take care.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Thor.

There is a lot of information/advice available on the forum. Ask lots of questions.

I disagree slightly with wallynm. I think the two happiest days of an RVers life are, the day he buys it and the day he trades it for a newer or different RV. ๐Ÿ™‚

Enjoy your travels, you're going to love it.

Congratulations on your purchase!! As I have found in the last couple of months since we bought our first....you have NOT bought a motorhome, you have just obtained an obsession! For the next several months and possibly years, you will think of nothing except what you can do to your coach and where you can travel. Unless you are retired, you will find it difficult to dedicate the time necessary for both due to the necessity of sleep. ๐Ÿ™‚ And everything you ever wanted to know about RVing can be found within the pages on this forum. Some really great and helpful folks here!!!

Enjoy!!

4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.
