New RVs Prices/Quality/Floorplans

[jdensie]

I know I'm just dreaming but here goes...

I want a travel trailer, less than 30 feet coupler-to-bumper, with:
walk-on roof; walk-in shower; heated/enclosed tanks; a decent amount of counter space in the kitchen; metal skin and aluminum framing; front bedroom with queen bed and nightstands on both sides; amidships galley & head; rear living; enough tongue length to store (not use) a portable generator; and most important of all, QUALITY at a REASONABLE PRICE.

Looks like you have start looking at a Airstream. Not knowing the floor plans but they are wrapped in aluminum and you can walk on the roof. Have a good day.

If you are buying a new motorhome, I would not pay more than 75% of the
MSRP. Sales are not as brisk at this time. Perhaps 70% of the MSRP for
a 2008 model.

We have a Montana fifth wheel. It is a 2004. We love it. Whenever we go to a RV show, we are always drawn to the Keystone/Montana 5ers. It is rock solid. We have remodeled a few things, more shelves in kitchen cupboards, day/night shade for a linen draw shade, backsplash behind the stove and turned the table out when we are parked for any period of time. We learned in our first year of fulltiming, that if we don't wear it, use it or need it get rid of it. We're going on 3 years of fulltime and have decided to keep what we have as we live very comfortablely . Wherever you have a cupboard, you can add shelves with a lip to keep things intact. We have the artic pkg so it holds cool air with a/c and heat with furnace. We have 2 large slides. carpet shampoos nicely plenty of tile in front of door around to kitchen. I know this sounds like a sales pitch for the Montana, but this is indeed the finest fifth wheel we have seen on the highway. Lois

littlelynn: actually I think those toyhaulers are cool. With a little work you could turn it into another room...sewing,art,a teens bedroom. Wish I could afford one. My daughter and I live in a fifteen foot travel trailer, a 71, fulltime.
