WME Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Sometimes there things that happen and result is "not the plan". We drove a Toyota Escaper for 6 years and were happy with it, except for the limited tanks. The results were 1 day in an RV park and one day at Wal-Mart. Ok for a week to 10 days. After 3 a week trip we decided we need some thing a "bit" bigger with way more water. Enter a "small" 26ft Class A Georgie Boy. Lots of water and storage. Great for 2 people. 3 days Wal-Mart and 1 day RV camp site. All is good. Several fine 3-5 week vacations. So we casually mention to the family that for next years vacation we are going to Key West and Disney world and will be gone for at least a month. MIL announces "I like Go". When we go to Hawaii we stay with family so fair is fair. Back to 2 Wallys and 1 campground. A good time was had, Next vacation is Mall of America, MIL says " I like go", SIL says ME TOO. The camper is not set up for 4 adults. I made a plywood bed that fit on the two front chairs for SIL. We had to set it up each night, a semi PIA AND we are back to 1 day and 1 day. This year trip is the canyons in Utah and Arizona, "I like Go" and "Me Too" + DAUGHTER are now flying over to go with us. 5 adults in a 2 person camper aint gonna get it. So a newer/bigger RV is "required" bye bye Georgie Boy, hello 30ft Winnebago Brave with slide and a monster water tank. People capacity is 6 adults, we shall see how we do with with 5. Also because of its size we will be needing a towd soon Beginning to miss the Toy, 2 people, easy to drive, good mpg, easy to park, travel at the speed of smell, easy to plan what to do with only 2 opinions, etc.... sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjrbus Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I agree with everyone else here, don't go! For one trip you can rent a big rig for a mere $2000 week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
