Thought I would add a little to this thread:
1. We have a 23' and a 26' coach. Janie limits me to 3 tags (good thinking or I would run a fleet!), it's at the house-- a place I can go, do my Emails and be quiet.
2. My coach, JayGee, is a getaway at the shop for me. With 9 guys pulling me in all directions, I try and do one of those power naps" to keep me sane. I can escape out there, shut the door and I'm in my place. Of course we will use one of the coach-- usually hers, you know what I mean-- for rallies.
3. "Larry" is used by Fire Fight Products and a show stopper, a booth for doing shows and rallies promoting Fire Fight Products. I can always get a comment and conversation standing under it's awning showing fire suppression options.
Of course "if you don't use it you loose it" as we all know so all of you reading this thread need to weave your coach into your everyday lives. It's not just a highway travel machine, it's not just a "camper"-- it's a part of your family and you need to give it time and use. One day I do hope to take a long road trip, for now I live with my motorhomes and expect them to pull their load.
