I know my bus is out there but it costs twice what I want to pay for it. I am patient and I will just wait. I am not like JPJ Jeff, buying three in one year, or Jeff B. with so many in the garage. I only want to buy the (right bus) one time, and keep it up for aro 15 yrs. or so. After that it will only be talking with friends about what we used to do. I know there is at least one other in the group that waited over a year to make a decision. I have not looked that long. I am still gathering info and trying to figure out what is truly important and what is just a whimsical notion of grandeur. Some of you may think this is a foolish attitude ( you can not find the perfect bus) but I want to try.

I was thinking of sending my wife Barb to truck driving school to get a class A CDL. Then I could let her drive while I bake cookies and sip lemonade while reading classical literature and petting the dog.

Complicating this all is; my heart is in the stainless, but the H3 is extremely desirable. Slides are not necessary,but they sure would be nice, and on, and on, and on.

By self diagnosis I believe I have a case of MPD. I think I have it under control. Ha! JIM



First of all, MPD by definition is a terminal condition. And the trick to it is that just when you think you have it under control, it is getting worse.

As to our swapping around, we kinda live in Prevost alley down here along the freeway in Florida and have been lucky enough to buy a little lower than market at the end of the season and make a buck or two on the coaches in order to move into the camper we wanted.

Since Mango cut me off his credit card, we've been on our own, minding our own bucks. I don't get it. He considers family ahead of his POG buddies. Maybe he is just in one of those MPD phases when reality strikes?

Anyway, we know several people who have been looking at coaches for over six years and have never bought, thinking they could find the 'perfect' coach. Not sure that such a critter is out there. There are only a couple hundred a year produced and most people don't have theirs for sale, requiring buyers to be somewhat more flexible in making choices.

You'll know it when you see it.
