Tiffin Allegro Bus

Well, I finally talked Gerry into getting a new motorhome.  She was a tough nut to crack, but my charm and diplomatic skills won her over in the long run.  She holds onto her pennies like they were gold and priceless.

We have been looking at motorhomes the last three days and had narrowed it down to a 2008 Tiffin Allegro Bus, 2012 Winnebago Adventurer and 2012 Tiffin Allegro RED.  The Winnebago was gas and the other two diesel units are diesel.  At long last we decided on the Allegro Bus and signed and sealed the deal today.  

It will be Friday before they do all the changes and updates to the unit and then we will take a couple days to move our "stuff" into the new unit.  In the meantime we are going to get some boxes and plastic totes to get a jump start on the move.  It is in the 90s here and we aren't looking forward to all the work that needs to be done in the heat, but will take our time and get it done.

This is a picture of the motorhome we chose and are looking forward to enjoying it for a long time.  Our last motorhome was called Leaddog II, but this one will be called Gerry's Folly II.  Our cabin is Gerry's Folly I, so we have to keep the naming serial numbers in order.

  
We missed Ron K being with us to look at the motorhomes, but I think we would have worn him out in this marathon quest to get a new unit.  He was with us in spirit though.

The motorhome has a 150 gallon diesel tank and gets around 8mpg, so we will only have to fill up twice to get to Tucson.  Of course, that will be at $4.00/gal, so any and all financial donations will be accepted.  Checks and cash are fine with us.
