New Motor home

Well, Gerry and I thought it over about buying a new motor home and listed the pros and cons of getting one at this time.  The recent oil crisis in Iran makes it difficult to even think about what the cost of gasoline will be by this summer.

We went back to the dealership today and checked the motor home for a couple items we weren't sure.  They checked out to be in our favor so that gave us some info to consider.  I could drag this post out like the shaggy dog story and write paragraphs about what we finally decided, but I will be merciful and cut to the chase.  We decided that because of a number of factors, we weren't going to by this particular motor home.  It met about 90% of what we were looking for in a unit, but then the 10% won out.  We aren't going to buy this one.

Of course the salesman has our phone number and if he calls back with a can't resist dollar amount, we would reconsider the unit.

That was the most exciting part of our day so I will close the blog with the above.

  1. Sorry to hear that. Sounded like you might buy one this time. I know the things I thought I absolutely had to have in the 5th wheel were about 50/50 like and didn't like. It's probably more energy efficient than the one you have. Sorry we had company when you came by this afternoon. Try again another day.

  2. It's always a big decision! We have been toying with what to do about a travel vehicle, and can't really make up our minds. But we won't be doing any major traveling for at least three years, so it isn't a hurry-up item anyway. A few years ago we thought we had a winner for a new rig, but didn't know where we were going to cut $300 from our monthly budget to pay for it. Cut back on food? No. Gasoline? No. Nightly rates? No. So we passed.
