Re: question about towing a jeep wrangler.
We also use the ReadyBrute tow bar to tow a 2013 2-door Jeep JK behind our RV. It works very well and is very easy to set up. It takes me about 10 minutes from the time I pull the Jeep behind the RV to being ready to go. We have the Currie JK Tow Bar Mounting plate.403Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best route in Arkansas

You're completely sane. Camping with the kid and the dog is the best thing in the world, and you will cherish all of the memories when you get older.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Less Young People Camping?
We camp mostly in state parks and almost never in RV parks. We are not retired but not young either, well, middle-aged. In the state parks of Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa, we see more people our age or younger than older folks. A lot of younger folks only have tents or pop-ups, but they do camp and often with kids. If you're talking about what you see where a bunch of retirees hole up in the gulf states in class A's, then you probably won't see those younger folks.271Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class B or C?

The Aspect 30c and GT 29 are priced comparably to each other. The Triple E will probably end up being about 10k more but the for seasons feature and IMHO better build quality make it worth the increase. It had a better floorplan too. I think the Aspect 27k floorplan is much better though and it is about $15k less. If we could get it as a four season if pick it over the Triple E.803Views0likes0CommentsRe: Model year input please 2006+
I have a 2006 Winnebago Aspect 26A on an E450 chassis with the 6.8. I am perfectly happy with it. I know for the 2008 model year Aspect 26A there were no significant changes. I don't know about other similar class C's though. I guess what I am saying is that I suspect your question will be difficult to answer unless you have a specific model in mind. For me, it would depend upon how much over budget? Unless there are significant differences, I would rather spend the difference enjoying the RV. :)341Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class B or C?

Our next RV, withing two years, will be the Triple E Regency GT 29. We had a chance to get in one and give a good once over. It is very, very well built and fully capable of dead of the winter camping in Canada. It is, and I don't say this lightly, of better build quality than our Winnebago Aspect 26A --which is pretty good and with which we are 100% satisfied with.798Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C truck mounted
We love the pictures of the Host Campers but cannot justify the pricing for a new one. We're considering an mid-2000's F450 crew cab dually or F550 with a custom bed and new TS116FB 3-slide from Chalet. We think that will come in far under the cost of a new host camper, even though it will be smaller on the inside but for just the two of us, we're okay with that.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago quality

Saw a 2000 Coachman Catalina 21 on the internet just like I want but was sold already (and a little expensive at $23000.) I will just keep looking. Steve We have a 2006 Aspect 26A and love it. It is the perfect size for scooting around, can tow our Jeep just fine, and it drives like a big van. Had it for five years now and although we are getting ready to upgrade to a new Aspect, probably the 27K, and the only complaint I really have is that the bed is too small for two people for more than two weeks. If it were possible to put in a queen bed, I'd be keeping it I like it so much. We've spent some money upgrading things like the TV, sway bars, and shocks, but overall, with it being our first motor home, I am more than satisfied with it. We've looked at lots of coaches over the last two months and very few seem to have the same quality "feel" as the Winnebago, and those that do cost just as much. Personally, a big selling point for me is the longevity of the company and the responsiveness of their people. Plus they control most of their supply chain in that they manufacturer their own furniture and even produce their own extrusions, so they can make you a part from something that is decades old. You cannot go wrong with a Winnebago.476Views0likes0Comments
