    Charlie is going to fit right in.

    Charlie, I'm willing to bet half the inmates that read your last post failed to pick up on all of the humor. Start out slow because it is going to take some a while to understand when you are joking and when you are real.

    Now to the serious stuff. For your budget, in today's market you are going to get a very fine coach. There are a bunch out there and the best way for you to start the process is to literally go look at a bunch just so you can begin formulating a list of things you want in a coach, and things you can do without. You will have to decide how you will use your coach and that will influence what you need. For example, if you will travel with grandkids you will likely want a floor plan with a private toilet. If it is just you and Mollie, that becomes less important.

    If you choose to escape the cold of DewBoys, PA and will travel in the desert southwest, then OTR (over the road air) becomes very important.

    Also, you mention at least 40 feet. Prevost made a 35 footer many moons ago, but they are very rare, and although they more recently made 40 foot coaches, you will find 45 footers are what appears to be the most common now. If you were to have a choice the 45 is a more livable length.

    We have placed you on the agenda for the OKC rally. You will be the hit of the nude painting series. If you get Mollie to do a good job with her paint brush Skiffer will refund some of the dues he charged.

    Tony, there are lots of very experienced folks around here of which I am not one. I can say though that we are approaching 3000 miles on our older Marathon that we picked up a month ago and it has been great thus far. No problems and extremely well made.

    Best of luck to you. Go pick up that H3 beast and have fun!

    Jim, Priceless!
    Charile can get started honing his maintenance and repair skills straight away.
    It should come in right on the budget number too.

    Thanks for the response everyone. I can tell by the tone of the conversation that I am going to like these boards.
