Yo Tim!
Sorry to hear about that pontoon boat you got outbid on.
My wife and I are thinking of RVs as we speak. We went to a dealer last week and looked at this one: http://tinyurl.com/5lkdgl Pretty nice layout and runs around $85K. It has a Mercedes 6cyl diesel engine that supposedly gets around 20 mpg. It looked like it would be very comfortable for two people. But, $85K will buy a lot of plane tickets and motel rooms! -- John *H* |

Chrysler is making some damned nice vehicles lately, the chassis will be fine! |

Chrysler is making some damned nice vehicles lately, the chassis will be fine! Hey! I jsut stumbled in here for a moment. John that's cool, but you're right. 85K PLUS maintenance will buy lots of motel rooms with good hot showers, swimming pools, continental breakfasts, etc. i think they're being a bit optomistic about the economy, though. A 5.9 cummins in a much lighter dodge PU that is also much more streamlined (like a hog) gets about 18 +/- and you don't have to find a lot to park the thing in. possible $5.00 diesel? What the heck, John. SPEND YOUR KIDS INHEIRATANCE! LOL! |

If you find you don't like the motorhome, you sell it and take a hugh loss. Eh, spend it anyhow... LOL! |

Actually, I like touring and camping by motorcycle. It's cheap, at 50 mpg, and campsites are usually pretty reasonable. But, my wife isn't thrilled about 8 hours on the back of a motorcycle. When she had her own, in Europe, we did a lot of touring that way. But she's gotten rid of her bike as riding in the DC area is not fun. -- John *H* |

Doesn't Eisboch have something like that? he'd be in the know, I'm sure. Yeah, I think he's got a Porsche 959, like this: http://tinyurl.com/4nse3x I'd get one, but I don't think I could get a trailer hitch put on it to haul mulch around. And, there's not a lot of room for grandkids in the back seat. Other than that, I guess they're OK, if you're just looking for basic transportation. Some folks would think it's not important to go 100mph in 8.8 seconds on the way to Safeway to get a tomato. They're kinda cute though! He's also got an RV similar to what I'm considering. http://tinyurl.com/3gtxss I could actually tow the boat behind the new version, which will tow up to 3500 lbs, according to a local dealer. -- John *H* |
