Thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread.
It is interesting to see how long some of us have been camping and also how many coaches were purchased during those many years.
I started out in 1992 looking at motorhomes; Holiday Rambler, Bluebird, and Newell were the brands that I tested. I bought a 1987 Newell 40' and kept it for 5 years. I loved the Newell and decided to buy a 1993 model. I kept it for 8 years and then decided that a slide out coach was in order. In November 2005 we purchased our current 2 slide Newell and love it.
The people that we have met in campgrounds and at rallies are the nicest and most friendly folks around. I guess the reason for this that most of them are enjoying the most comfortable mode of travel on the planet. As you know, we have access to bathroom, kitchen and a comfortable place to lay down for a nap. All while traveling down the road and seeing America.
