Thanks, Karen. And yes, you'd be amazed. They have certainly come a long way from the little "campers" and "tour buses" that started the whole motorhome trend. Everytime I go in a different one I'm amazed at what new ways they've found to pack more stuff into such a limited space, and not make it seem crowded or overdone. There really are some beautiful machines out there.

What a great way to travel! No hotels! How great is that? You could live just about anywhere you've ever wanted! How exciting!
That's what I call travelling in style. Heck, I haven't seen apartments that nice! LOL LOL I'm with Sara, I'd come along with ya! LOL LOL
It is kind of neat. We are fully self-contained, meaning we can carry enough water to last us at least a week, and we can generate our own electricity as long as we have diesel fuel for the generator, so the only reason we would ever need to visit "civilization" is to empty the holding tanks (dirty water), fill with more water and refill the diesel tanks, oh, and fill the propane tank now. However, it's not just all that easy. You have to remember where everything gets it's power from. For instance the refrigerator either runs off propane or if you have the generator on it will run off that, or if you are plugged in, it will run off that! The good news is, the refrigerator is so smart that it knows what kind of power you have coming in and will figure out for itself what is the most efficient thing for it to run on. It is so high-tech in ways like that. The coach itself will not leave you stranded, even if that's what you're trying to do. I can explain in much further detail, but I don't want to bore everybody. Oh, and one day I couldn't figure out why the TV wouldn't go on. Turned out I didn't have a button pushed to convert one kind of power to the kind that the TV needed so it wouldn't work. Sometimes it's absolutely mind boggling, but I think we have it down pretty good now.

The only thing is, since there is a lot of complicated and high-tech stuff onboard, that also means there's a lot that can go wrong, and believe me, it does. The refrigerator was leaking this weekend. Fortunately we had the time to investigate ourselves and found out the hose for the ice-maker was disconnected, otherwise that could have been a nice hefty bill at the repair shop. So it is fun and everything, but it certainly does have it's downside too. But we've been fortunate and not had any major problems....yet....so we're still enjoying it immensely.

That would be neat to take the 'kids' along, but I can imagine that it could be stressful for them. Bless their little kitty hearts! Let's see more pics!!!
**hugs**
Someday, someday, I really hope to get them along. Slow but sure I'm breaking Tubby in, then comes Peanut....and Terry. I thought I had more pictures to post, but I don't really unless you want to see technical ones like a drawing of the chassis. And you're thinking "yeah, right Debbie first of all you have to tell me what a chassis is!" Hopefully Terry will take a bunch at the rally. Did I mention he is still there? I had to come back to work, and he got to stay and play.

Hugs back to you too, Karen and thanks for the nice comments.
