Until this last hitch with John's needing the pacemaker, he has insisted on driving all the time. Finally, I am allowed to drive so that he does not get tired. (there is a blessing to everything!) I am as sure as you are that you are going to be so happy with your new to you class A.

I must say the huge windows are what attracted us to Lazy Daze in the first place, and they make our little house seem so much bigger, even though we have no slides. What we would really like is the increased storage in and A.

I can picture it now. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417296606716482171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-18291622455840200552014-05-01T10:58:55.406-04:002014-05-01T10:58:55.406-04:00Yep, I think you are going to love that big and sp...Yep, I think you are going to love that big and spacious class A.

We too like the aspect of arriving somewhere and having the inside of the coach warm--we spent a lot of time shivering while our fifth wheel warmed up on some of those really cold traveling days. And you are correct Al, at our ages, comfort is important! We will see how "comfortable" this truck camper is we just purchased--but it has it's purpose.Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-31096298704252042042014-05-01T06:50:55.472-04:002014-05-01T06:50:55.472-04:00We have had the class B, C and Class A and love th...We have had the class B, C and Class A and love the class A for all the same reasons as you. They all got about the same gas milage too. 7.5 for the class A, 8 for the class C and 9 for the class B That is milage based on an American gallon. Mind you our class B was a 1988 ford one ton chassis with the ford big block 460 V8.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-28718184708301139702014-05-01T00:50:44.409-04:002014-05-01T00:50:44.409-04:00I enjoyed your explanation of the good points of a...I enjoyed your explanation of the good points of a Class A. I wish I had at least considered something other than a 5th wheel when I started RV'ing, although at the time they were way more expensive than the 5Ver.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-14524515887953277212014-05-01T00:10:06.339-04:002014-05-01T00:10:06.339-04:00Appreciated your thoughts on motorhomes. I'm ...Appreciated your thoughts on motorhomes. I'm anxious to read about your travels in your new rig. My only question would be if the gas engine on a rig that big will provide enough power to get you over the passes in good shape, especially when towing. We get about 8.5 MPG with our class C and got about the same with our old class A. I sure like the room and comfort in the class A. We're thinking of going back to a class A.Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-18222203260024406842014-04-30T23:27:47.958-04:002014-04-30T23:27:47.958-04:00Yep a Class A is my way to go, when this one dies,...Yep a Class A is my way to go, when this one dies, I will get another. We both love the high seats and giant windshield. We have the same shower and it is nice to be able to clean up after a hiking day.<br />Long ago, my Sister in Law asked why I bought that RV and my wife said he bought it for the toilet. It has 110 gal fresh water, 80 gal black and 60 gal grey and 6 gal hot water that heats when driving, or electric or gas. When traveling we would take one shower at mid point and then let water get hot again and I would shower. No propane used. I think you will like that feature on yours also.

It sounds like it doesn't matter what you drive C or A and when you tow a trailer ... all the mpg is about the same if it is a gas engine.<br /><br />Class A's and boondocking with a small 4x4 toad ? Make me think more. :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-31821735465810117572014-04-30T21:45:19.198-04:002014-04-30T21:45:19.198-04:00that was a lot of 'splainin' you did..and ...that was a lot of 'splainin' you did..and as you know it took us a while things right!
