As much as we have enjoyed traveling in our View the last year and a half it has not been good for my health. The galley cannot be modified to let me do my own cooking and Dave does not enjoy doing the cooking I need. Plus, I cannot do my exercises in the limited space we have. Now that I have been diagnosed with diabetes, those thing are of increasing importance. So, as many of you have already guessed, we are shopping for a bigger RV.
Yes, that’s why we are thinking of buying a CR-V. A bigger RV wouldn’t let us go the places we go now so we’ll need a runabout.
Yes, that’s also why we spent so much time in Houston. We picked out a Winnebago Vectra that appeared to be designed specifically for the way we live and spent much time negotiating factors relating to it. Unfortunately, the one we couldn’t negotiate was a potential engine recall that would have left us homeless if the incorrectly machined part failed. With a nearly 1 in 20 chance of that happening, I just couldn’t persuade myself to take that risk.
So, next week we are going to California to look at a different RV we think might work for us. Keep your fingers crossed.
TTYL,
Linda
Good luck on your search. My fingers are crossed.
That must have been one hell of a Desert Storm! I always thought you needed a class A, but that is extreme. The Vectra looks to be 6 feet longer than our 34 ft Park model in Florida. I have a friend with a 34′ Winnebago Journey. I can’t believe something like that wouldn’t meet your needs and save you $75k plus.
I’m sorry to hear about your health issues – but hoping that you find the perfect RV that will meet all your needs and give you lots of wonderful times!
Good luck and take care. Laura
