I hadn't subscribed to FMCA magazine for a couple years. I recall that I quit getting it because all of the coach ads just made me feel like a crappy provider. But I broke down and ordered a subscription and just got my first one.

Wow! is all I can say. I would be nervous I would get it dirty.

I'll stick to my 78. Just enough room and all the ammenities we need. Although the flip down plazma seems tempting.

I refuse to own a motor home that is fancier than my house.

Or costs more.

I am sure most of you have kept up on this, I had not. they now have slideouts that extend the entire length of the coach. Winnebago has slide outs in slideouts. So when the wall slides out the bedroom bureau or closet keeps going like a double slide out.

When I sold RV's for 15 minutes once I sold Bluebirds and we had not on the lot for $899,000.00. (You could have got it easily for $600K) Anyway the Bluebird guy say they were making no more $1M coaches. Just no market, their most expensive coach would be $600K and I see that is true now. You can probably easily get one for $550K. What a deal...

I know what you mean, Dave. FMCA ads seem to be targeted at folks that have a lot of money to spend. The other thing I've noticed is that sometimes the motor home is sold before the issue hits the press. I like Motor Coach magazine much better. BTW, my son-in-laws' father sells Prevosts and has for several years. Many are 1.5 to 2.0 mil and he makes a very nice 6 figure income doing it. It may be a small market but even if it's 1/2 of 1 percent of the U.S. population, that's still 15000 people.
