Average MPG will probably be around 8, which is what our old one got too. It has a 500 hp Cummins ISM engine - Terry is so excited!

It's 45' long, which as far as I know is as long as you can get and still be legal. Even the big Prevost and Newell bus conversions (think rock star bus) are "only" 45' long. The old one was 40' long. For some reason Terry needed 45'. I was perfectly happy with 40'. Even with the 40' there were so many places that we couldn't go, and now we'll be even more restricted. A lot of state parks and national parks have much shorter limits - like 22' or 30', so we won't be able to go to those parks. But what we'll do is find a campground nearby to those parks and then drive in with the car for the day. Not totally the same, but whaddyagonnado?

Thanks so much everyone. We're even closer to having the deal done. Only about .25% yet to go and that includes the actual picking up of the new motorhome which we will do at the end of next week. We're spending the weekend emptying out the old one. There are so many little touches that we added to this one to make it nicer. Things that we can't take out and things we really put our whole hearts into. So it's kind of sad, but like I told Terry, we have to focus on what we're getting instead of what we're giving up.

Thanks again for sharing in our excitement.
