Today's Subject: RV's!!

We've been toying with the idea for quite some time now on whether or not we wanted to purchase an RV. First, we thought we'd sell our house and purchase one of those really nice, huge RV's...the bus size one. Hell, if I'm going to sell my entire house, I'm going to need a place to put all my stuff. And it sure won't fit in my 1200 square foot cottage. Well, then we talked, and talked, and discussed some more. Came to the conclusion that we can't sell this house. We have too much stuff. My husband likes to play with cars. He needs the garage. Me....I need my studio. Can't do without that stuff. And we have to keep the cottage. I heart my cottage.

So, off we went to yet another RV Show that just happened to be in town. I don't know if I have any readers who are full time or part time RV'ers?????

I am NOT a camper. I do not like campsites. This RV must be self-contained. Able to park in the freakin-middle of the desert and be totally self-sufficient. BIG Generator. Big Water Tank. Big Waste Tank.

Honestly, we plan to use it for short trips....a week here or a week there. A drive to Minneapolis. Perhaps Cape Cod. I'd like to consider Santa Fe or Sedona. You see. We have a bichon frise. Chloe would not do well being "babysat" or boarded either for that matter. She must come with us! That's another reason for the RV. Years ago, we used to do ALOT of travelling. And we sure can't take the RV to Bermuda! But for short trips just to get away. Sure. It'll be fun. I'm not drivin' the thing. My husband will be doing the driving. Sometimes I have trouble with my Jeep. Seriously. That's big enough for me!!

So check out the pics and let me know what ya think! Pros / Cons?? I'm not that pleased with the color scheme. They don't make any cool colored RV's. We have seen one we really like. But it was more than a half a million dollars. Husband said...uh, no. But it was SO nice!!! I really liked it. You can see one like it here:



This is more in the price range we are looking at....realistically...



Crap! I should have at least showed the smaller one first....now the bottom one...is such a letdown...
