Stupid Me!

Speaking with first hand experience, I can only say," DON'T DO IT!!!!" Or, as we say now, a liberty in the hand is worth at least two of any NEW plastic thing out there. Besides, unless you are planning on selling the ranch, the farm and the condo, you just don't need the space and problems of slides.

We did sell the farm, ranch and condo and are living in the coach full time. Been full timing 3 years now. Married 43 years... more history with wife than coach

Lee, if you can skip school (golf) for a few days, I have one of those 3 day coupons in my grubby hands right now with your name on it.

Even if you come over a couple days early and see the cronies arrive. That alone will be a site.

If you decide to come over early, call me so I'll meet you at the door.

Lew:
Really wish I could... can't get away - My company (me) wrote the software used for the tournament 3 days - 5 courses - 600 golfers and I am doing back office support starting this Saturday 26th and finishing Tuesday 29th. Then we do our annual industry trade show in Orlando Wed 30th thru Saturday Feb 2nd.

I am retired but this is the time I have to be available each year.

I will get to St Lucie sometime in March though... Gotta look at Outdoor Resorts there and see whats going on... I am on Board of Directors at OutDoor Resorts Las Vegas and must report my findings.

There are several new Newmar Essex's here at Outdoor Resorts this season and, admittedly, they offer an impressive interior.

If we were seriously looking at plastic, both the Essex and the Zephyr looked like a lot of coach for the money.

BUT!!! Neither of those are inexpensive, and for the same dollars as New Plastic, you can buy a real, real nice pre-owned bus that will not only hold together but also hold its value!

With regard to the slides, we've owned coaches with 1 slide, 2 slides and our last coach had 3 slides. As has been said before, everything about a coach is a trade off.

We live in the coach full time and couldn't wait to be slide-out free!! Now, the coach is just as comfortable whether we're staying at a resort or in a truck stop. No more contortions to access the storage bays. No more jockeying around on a too-small campsite to make sure we can get all the slides out.

And, best of all, no more potential leak sites the size of a wall!!

Happy shopping.....

Got to find more creaky coaches to test drive... maybee she'll see the light!

I don't have the thread number handy, but a quick read on that thread with JDUB and the rental Monaco ought to be a good one. Sounds like you should drive one of those, and then try to get the slides out AND in!!
