We looked hard at 40, and 44 and 37. decided we would probably regret the 37 but with just the two of us and really the extra space is mostly in the master bath. We got the two foot itis out of our system with the boats, Believe me.
Now that you're not worried too much about diesel prices, Let's Go Brandon!Boat left today! The only real feeling of regret was when I signed over the pin slip for the Achilles center console RIB. I loved cruising the marina in the RIB in the evenings visiting with marina folks. I knew it would just sit in the barn though if kept it and eventually be put up on Craigs List, so I let her go as part of the deal.
The new owner with his wife and 23 year old kid picked up the boat. I gave the NO a few pointers and off they went to Alameda. I checked in 4 hours later and they were thrilled with their new boat. I feel a huge weight off my shoulders and on to greener pastures. Thanks for the kind words of support minus the boos and hisses for quitting
Looking forward to a winter full of lively election debate along with keeping up with the winter projects you all share.
Cheers
Well the Newmar will be getting 6 to 7 times better mileage at cruise so I’ll be making money comparativelyNow that you're not worried too much about diesel prices, Let's Go Brandon!
Thanks, I’ll look into it.
Kinda like my wife, she'll buy things she doesn't need because they're on sale...then she'll tell me how much money she saved.
Curious as to what the insurance company says about experience with vehicles this size. Do you need to have a experienced driver with you for a period of time, take a driving course, get a commercial license???
Now you know how we feel when we put our boats away for winter storage. It’s a great feeling knowing I don’t have to worry about it.. it’s not costing me anything and come spring I miss it all over again
The agent selling me my policy wanted to know what experience I had and whether or not I had a CDL but I am not sure it affected the rates. I was surprised too that there is no additional training required for the 40 foot coach. Over 40 foot in CA you need class B or A. If the vehicle is a box truck over 26000 lbs or has air brakes, you need the CDL. My new coach has airbrakes and weighs in at 40,000 lbs. Really makes no sense. There must be one hell of a Motor Coach lobby working the capitol. Now after driving it 600 miles, it really is a nothing burger to operate. I just need to remember to lock the fridge doors before departing!
Happens all too often. I go the extra distance to string a small bungee cord across the front of the fridge while traveling. With a trailer, you don't know it's happened until the next time you stop and get into it. By then, everything's at room temp and soaked into the carpet.
