It seems only polite to start with a short intro before I launch into my hailstorm of noob questions.
My wife and and purchased a '94 Liberty XL mid-October. While it wasn't the most well-researched purchase, we knew we wanted something that would last a long time and hold up reasonably well to any repair, restorative, or updating dollars that we put into it. Overall, we feel like we made a good purchase on a great coach.
This is our second motorhome. Our first was an '89 Monaco 40' diesel pusher that we purchased very cheap with the idea that we would put some money into it over time assuming we enjoyed using it. If not, we could also get out of it for very little. As it turns out we used it at least once a month during our first year of ownership (some weekends, some week + trips, and even one solo trip I made using it a base camp for work at an event).
Long story longer, we wanted something more substantial, safer, and greater potential for us to get more value out of each dollar that we spend on it and decided to upgrade sooner rather than later so that money invested would go into something more deserving.
So far we've been really happy with the coach and just got back from our first trip -- a week long trip to Houston over Thanksgiving to be with some family. Getting it ready to make the trip had some stressful moments and between that and some experiences from our first trip, I've got a few questions to pose to those that a far more experienced than we are.
I joined the site about a month ago and have been using it to search out solutions to a lot of the little things that were "problems" and the things that were just the result of ignorance on my part. So now comes the interactive part. Hopefully, I'll learn enough to be a resource to others in the future.
I'll be posting questions where they seem most appropriate so thanks in advance for any wisdom that may be shared.
