Glad you like it, but it wouldn't be for me.

1. Seems like driving it on the highway would be stressful.
2. Once you get somewhere, you might want to see something 20 miles a way. Which seems like a pain to take your whole house with you.
3. Pulling a car behind you to facilitate 2, would just make 1 that much worse.

I'll either fly or drive a reasonable vehicle and stay in hotels. If I want to camp, I'll tent camp.

1-It drives like a big car
2- I have a tow dolly and tow a car you can't even tell is back there

Both of them are NICE I've always thought it would be cool to have one and just travel around the country.

good lord, that's awful.

Seems like it'd be easier and much less of a headache to simply rent an RV for a vacation. Wouldn't gave to worry about tags, taxes, maintenance, insurance, storage etc.

Though (as I've mentioned in this thread) I don't understand the desire for the RV in the first place, I can understand the desire to own rather than rent. If you rent it each time, it FEELS like it's a lot of money. If you buy one, all your vacations FEEL like they're cheap.

In short, people who own RV's probably take them out many times more than people who have to rent them.

You'd have to use it A LOT to justify the aforementioned headaches, in my opinion.

And it's really cheap for you since you've already got an RV storage pad. Or is it a hockey rink now?

Drive that sumbitch to Kansas City for the Raiders game

RVing is pretty rad - quite honestly

From what ive seen renting an RV is even more expensive than getting a hotel, and thats not even taking into account the gas.

Ive thought about buying one and then renting it out the rest of the year. Im a big poker player and my dream is to travel around to the country to the different sites (Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Florida, New Orleans etc etc) Would have to think one could justify the initial investment then BButif you are using it only 2 to 3 times of the yr doesnt seem worth it

I like to think of it as a "half of my yard that I don't have to mow" more than anything.

If you bought an RV and parked it on the other half, it would kill the grass and you wouldn't have to mow at all.

Looks like fun bruh. I've been too busy to hit the wilderness this summer, but I did just purchase a flight to Hawaii -- headed out to the volcanoes in a few weeks. sand. surf. down time.

Not completely, it's a 04 model and the Winegard Dome Antenna does not support HD on DTV but it does on Dish .. I don't have an HDTV in it yet but I will get one when I find one that will fit in the cabinet..http://www.winegard-antennas.com/Ima...d_Antennas.jpg

They're just too damned expensive (both price and cost of ownership) for me to understand the value proposition.

The killer for me is you are stuck with a monster boat when you arrive where you are going unless you have a tow car.

Red Beans 09-05-2013 07:13 AM

You're going to foul it all up with your Raider's stink. Nice purchase though.

I'm pretty sure you can get a mounting bracket that will allow you to mount a flat-screen in the same cabinet as the little TV, except you can get a giant ****er.

would you be able to swivel the tv out of the way to get into those cabs when needed?

or maybe you need to forfeit the cabs for a smaller set that will make room for a wide screen.

Demonpenz 09-05-2013 07:36 AM

it is a sight to see 20,000 of them at a nascar race.

The brown cushion about 3 inches below the bottom of the tv is a slide out bed / attic area so it really should have an inch or so clearance below that.
