Thank you all for your kind welcome and humor!

QC on our RV? Too soon to tell, we pick it up next week. 😉

Our journey into RVing started when we decided that we could never sit in the same place very long so a cottage was out. We decided to rent a big C class in Wisconsin and were horrified by the mileage ($200 gas for 185 miles) We liked the freedom, the lack of destination anxiety and the fact that we didn't have to hunt for available, suitable hotel rooms.

So, that made us want to try again. Two summers later we rented a B Class, Sprinter based Winnebago. This time we spent $90 in Diesel for a 305 mile journey. Much better - and it fit in our driveway. "We'll take one!" we cried - until we heard the price - $100,000.00

You know, $100,000.00 buys a lot of gas. And, the Sprinter was kinda cramped (especially in the ****ter. Shhh.)

But we still liked the experience, we had a blast at a couple of campsites (Beer in the hot tub, does it get any better than that?) and we had long-range plans that an RV would fit nicely into. We could've bought a trailer, a big trailer - a Raptor can really pull - but we liked the perks of the A Class.

So, we decided to go deal hunting. If we could find a castle of an RV with low miles and pop-outs, well, we would make the leap from renters to owners.

We found our 37' Empress of the Sand. What a steal! Couldn't resist. So, here we are.

We will be on here asking for advice and help, no doubt - and we promise to chronicle our travels. (Canada in August, crossing USA in October. Woo Hoo!)

So thanks again for the welcome!

Welcome.
Love your coach. I most likely was the one that oversaw the QC of your rig when it was built. Worked at Rexhall from 1999-2004.
