This will be my new home after losing my house. I was an RV tech and (still am) a tailer mechanic, I have been working on trailers for 19 years. The logical choice for me is to embraced the RV life style and become a "full timer". I took deliver of the new coach about 2 weeks ago and have been slowly moving into it as I sell of the remnants of a life that use to be. I opted for a towable to have the option to be able to go where the work is, or to follow the warm weather (snow bird as the RV crowd says)  What do you think? It is 37 feet long, 13 feet tall, and has 4 slides that open up to about 11 feet wide. An apartment on wheels! Follow the link to see photos of the inside.

That's so awesome! I've always loved the idea of having an RV. Unfortunately they're all extremely expensive. :(

Vale, RV's come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties from towable to drivable, there are also different levels of RV's... an entry level unit is designed for young families with children and don't necessarily have to break the bank. I bought a mid level, mid priced "Mom & Pop" coach meaning it is designed for only 2 people. These are aimed at older retirement types. My two priorities were #1-the ability to survive winter, it will not be as warm or as sturdy as a house but hey it is what it is and I am thankful to have a place to sleep and roof over my head. #2-livability, I wanted something big enough not to become claustrophobic, or feel like I am in a phone booth. Although it is small as houses go, just about 300sft. of living space inside, storage is at a premium. It is big enough for me, my clothes and some personal items, photos etc. I will have to slim down to bare essentials and limit what goes on board to what I actually need vs what I want. Again I am thankful  :)

Kova: I watched it twice also, thinking...wow can't these people read or see it's a low bridge? SMH

I like it, Frankie! Love the interior. My wife and I would love something like this. I'm happy that you have a roof over your head.

Sending lots of good spirits and a hug :)

It's like a yacht, only on land.

Thanks everyone  :D It is a bitter sweet experience, I've always wanted to buy a big RV and travel the country exploring the quirky and fun things, chase ghost towns in the southwest, snow bird, and just enjoy traveling...it is unfortunate that circumstances have forced me into it alone. But like they say when life hands you lemons, make some lemonade and enjoy it! So I will do what I have to do and go where I want and where I need to. Hopefully I will do goofy things like attend the Spam festival, the hot air ballon festival and other things I have always wanted to do. For the foreseeable future I will be staying close to my job, it's the one steady thing left right ow until I can regroup as best I can. I am looking forward to starting a new life :)

Very nice. Reminds me of a modular home how once your inside you would never know it was a trailer. Safe travels!!
