Tony,
Count on us being at the Labor Day rally and staying in one of Buckhorn's casitas. Thanks for the kind words we feel the same about you guys.
Jon,
That is an interesting approach (using it more) but both the dollars spent and PITA bringing it in for repairs is what I am trying to avoid. I know that we are going to miss RVing, but at this point I think that it is a smart move to sell. Like you, our coach is not financed so we are not under any pressure to sell, it just seems like the smart move for us at this time. Who knows what the future will bring?
Cost of ownership has been discussed on this forum many times. I have kept a spreadsheet on every repair done on my coach & every improvement (Smart tire system, new TracStar antenna, Aqua Hot tank replacement, etc.) since I purchased it. So I had a running total of how much I have spent - it has averaged $2.30 per mile! That is maintenance plus depreciation plus improvements - it is a staggering amount of money. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the ride over the past 19 years but it is just doesn't make sense anymore.
Thanks for the kind words; you & Di have been great friends. We still plan on attending all of the POG rallies and look forward to learning more about coaches and their systems.
Loc,
Between MM's couch to sleep on and your shower Louise and I are set! Thanks! You don't have a camera in that shower do you?
Bonnie,
Thanks for the kind words and we look forward to helping out with auction next year at POG 10.
