Lined Up to Look at RVs |
We
are certainly not in the market for a new RV, but we thought it would be fun to
look at the 2012 models on the market. This
seems to one of the few shows that includes Class B RVs from all the different
manufacturers. The maker of our RV,
Leisure Travel Vans, was there, as were Roadtrek, Pleasureway and Airstream. Even Great West Vans was represented. We had never seen those in person, only
online, and had once thought that might be the RV for us.
We
walked through all of the models and noted the new features. Some were very cool improvements, while others
were really not to our liking. We though
the older versions were actually better in some cases. Although all of the Class Bs were really nice,
it turns out that none were better suited to our needs than the one we own. Even the models that are slightly larger than
ours would not be as convenient for traveling with the cat. Yes, they have certain advantages, but where
would the litter box go? We actually
have the ideal solution with our “basement.”

We Really Are Partial to Leisure Travel Vans |
We
also wandered through the booths and picked up a few little items we just
couldn’t live without – exciting things like holding tank treatments, door mats
and a quick-connect for the water hose! We
only have room for useful things or new items to replace old ones, like the
mats.
It
was a fun day, but the best part was reconfirming that we had selected the best
RV for us. We had always been confident
that we had made the right decision, but now we know that for sure.
Nothing like a day of shopping therapy to lift ones spirits! :-) LV
ReplyDeleteLV, Isn't that the truth. Our shopping days have been few and far between on this trip, which is actually ok with me. Sarah
ReplyDeleteThere's an RV show in Pompano that starts in a week or so. Coming back?

Jane, It's tempting, but I don't think we could take that much excitement. Sarah
