Big decision made today

Wow, just discovered this thread. I am hoping thing work well for you!

We did just the opposite...We were sitting and talking and turns out the MH was not our happy place. Way worse for me. I know a lot of folks enjoy so I won't go negative...

We took a 7,500 mile trip this mid February to mid March and took the SUV. That worked out great. MH was listed for sale when we got back and even after adding the purchase and all of the upgrades and remodeling, we put some money in our pockets. The market was, and may still be hot for RVs.

As far as boating, there is so much to see and visit up here. We really have just scratched the surface. As we speak, the former "Life's Good" is back in Gig Harbor for a nice visit with folks here that we know. Wife cannot wait to get out and go.

Canada will open up for us as of Oct 1st. Dunno about getting back into the US though...haha! That opens up many more places to explore.

Cheers!

Oh BTW, I may get in touch regarding the remote install.

 

I admire you’re willingness to be open and honest with us Carp.

Must admit I was disappointed to hear as your feedback has been helpful to me over the years.

Thanks for being a great contributor and I Hope you have the wind at your back in whatever you pursue.

 

I have seen some 36 to 41 Trawlers that are amazing. They are setup for long term comfortable living.

 

If your journey takes you up to the area where the Snake and Columbia Rivers join, drop me a PM on here. We live in Pasco, WA, and the first round's on us!

 

You can haul a dinghy inside that thing! Nice purchase!

 

Looks great,enjoy. Congratulations!!!

 

At the Miami boat show a few years ago, we looked at the Bennetau Swift 47 trawler. It was an amazing use of space.

 

She looks beautiful! Nice color combo!

 

Absolutely beautiful. I hate driving (I drove dump trucks and F350s with backhoes and bobcats in tow in my youth)', so I'll never own one. But that is an amazing coach!

 

It's a beauty! Congratulations. If not too late, maybe ask the dealer if they have a place where you can stay overnight and spend some time fiddling with it if you haven't already decided to do this, you will have more questions or find things that need adjusting by the morning that they will be happy to answer/take care of. Most RV dealers have such a place with full hook ups. Have your wife take lots of notes during the PDI while things are explained to you. Know that not all dealers are great at going over everything BEFORE you show up to take delivery so you should make sure you check everything. Open every cabinet, every door, every window, operate every system and gadget. Some dealers may not be interested in doing repairs or "finishing builds" on a unit that they didn't sell so try to work those bugs out right up front as it sounds like the dealer may be far from you.
Join the Newmar Kountry Klub and after you settle in a bit, attend a rally. It's a great way to meet other Newmar owners, have fun and the learning experience is unmatched.
Enjoy.

 

I suspect you'll be looking for a 44 footer within a year... I'm sure you've found iRV2.com

 

Just what kinda guy do you think he is?

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

Congrats Carpe. It’s real nice. Every so often you gotta change up or life gets boring.
