OK, Now What

So it’s time to figure out how to satisfy part one of our plan for 2009/2010: “1) A rig that had a toilet, shower, and a north-south bed that could be made up easily.” It’s time to go shopping! Cathryn knew early on during our trip that a bathroom was importantto her, so she had used her skills to get herself (and me, when she found one with interesting features) inside a lot of rigs while we were in Baja. Based on this, and conversations with people about the pros and cons of motor homes, 5th wheels and travel trailers, we decided that a small 5th wheel was right for what we wanted and where we planned to go. So off we go for visits to RV dealers. We expected to have to deal with lots of salesmen who would pull all the “used car salesman” tricks on us. Interestingly it was a pretty good experience. The prices and discounts where all freely offered and the salesmen tended to give us a quick orientation of their inventory and then send us on our way, saying, “Let me know if I can answer any questions”.
