I think the Vixen's are cool looking. It was actually a Vixen that gave me the "hey how about a cool vintage motorhome instead of a trailer" bug. I saw one in traffic.

I started doing research, thinking it was FWD and found the GMC, and then remembered the EM-50 and that was it for me.

After I got my GMC I saw a vixen and got a look inside. everything was fiberglass, like a Casita trailer, and that really turned me off. Felt like a cheap boat.

I, too, thought the wet bath would be a problem, but we had one when I was a kid in a cabover camper, and it was actually fine for showering. Like Dan says, it is easy to squeegee clean, and we do this everyday at home on the big glass shower door anyway.

Most Dry bath coaches I have seen have water damage around the shower, and the rooms are too small to lean forward, and, well, you know.

FMC's are prettier. Flxible's are even gorgeous (if you squint and turn your
head sideways).

Hey, guys are putting little diesels in the rear of the FMC's just to get
rid of the Dodge engine.

Now, the NewAire is something else. Too bad they pulled the plug. And then
there's Winnebago's attempt with the 2000.

Vixen has the market cornered on ugly.
