Thanks Dennis -I looked at the pictures of the rack you made - that is exactly the kind of info I need. The issue with the a/c is this: There are three of us, so one person will need to ride in the back. I have heard from some that the cab air may cool down the back as well. Sounds like the Maxx Air vent might do well. Kevin

Thanks for the responses. I am surprised to hear about the Winnie and Dolphin comparison, but like I said I only saw the Winnie from photos, and saw the Dolphin up close. The photos looked like the Winnie might have better cabinets, shower, and the roof photo looked better than the Dolphin I looked at in person. But I guess photos can be deceptive. I may have to go take a second look at the Dolphin. Any other insight? Thanks so much! Kevin

My wife and I are actively looking for a Toyota motorhome. So far we have only looked at one, a 93 Dolphin and might look at a Winnie Warrior. The Warrior looks a little nicer in the photos, but it is tough to tell. Is there any good info on the differences between all the different models? Which ones are considered higher quality and more desired - or are they all so similar that the differences are minor. We want a "newer" model (90 or newer or so). I have searched this site and others, and thus far have only found the following: The Sunrader model seems most desired - is that because the all fiberglass construction is less prone to leaks? Any other reasons? The Odyssey I have read is a little wider, taller and has a stronger roof than the others, as well as a bigger fridge. The shower looks like it is all fiberglass (the Dolphin we looked at was wallpaper). Is there anywhere to find a written summary of each model? Is there any other insight that someone could give me? Another couple of questions - How important would you say having a generator is? The Dolphin has an Onan generator, but the Warrior we may look at does not. I have never owned a motorhome, and plan to mostly camp in state parks with hookups. Do you need the generator to cool the back of the RV while travelling, or is the primary purpose to have the a/c on while sleeping while not in a park? If so, would a honda generator serve this purpose? I understand the honda an not be ran in the compartment. I have seen a couple of rvs on this site with a canoe on the roof. This is absolutely critical to my future motorhome. Are there any models (besides the Odyssey with its stronger roof) that might be better or worse for mounting a rack? It seems again a Sunrader might do well with its all fiberglass roof? Thanks for helping a hopefully future rv owner. Kevin
