Martha,

Congratulations, and Welcome.

A little friendly advice, based on experience: Now that you've got it, slow
down.

Don't jump to conclusions about what you want. Sit and look and plan and
sketch and compare and view other coaches for a long time before making any
decisions. You'll avoid a lot of false starts, wasted efforts and money,
and wind up with a better coach most suiting your needs.

Take that couch for example: Are you REALLY sure you want one? IMHO, the
thing was an ill-conceived design, poorly executed, extremely uncomfortable,
and with serious safety issues. While I never had a need for the bunk
feature, I feel certain I could have easily come up with a better design if
I had (at least for what would have been my requirements). I KNOW I came up
with a simpler, more comfortable solution at very reasonable cost.

Unless you have very deep pockets, enormous energy and exceptional skills,
you can't rush through a GMC refurbishment (and maybe not even with all of
those), so slow down, enjoy the effort, and do it right.

JMHO,

Ken Henderson
