Vacation Pics

[ramanth]

What a gorgeous vacation! I find the Colorado photos even more interesting since I'll be heading to Denver May 19th.

If those are the sunsets I get to look forward too, then I'm psyched!

I enjoyed too!
What a big motorhome you have (and beautiful too)! Stupid question but...are they all of this size in the US??? For me, this is almost a truck!

He he, that was exactly my thought too . Here a motorhome is only 1/4 th of the size of yours.... .

Lovely pics of the desert!!

We actually have LOTS of different recreational vehicles here, I think that one is the maximum size.

There are pop up trailers, travel trailors, conversion vans, fifth wheels, class a and class c motorhomes. I have been doing my research I am in the market for a pop up trailer, I want to start out small and still have the feeling of the great outdoors, my favorite parks are the state campgrounds and they won't allow anything over 27 feet long.

Great pictures.. love the scenery! The talk of vacation is making me even more psyched about being off work for 2 weeks for OH/MI!!!

We just purchase a pop-up camper for our Ohio trip. They are really nice!

Kay I want to hear everything about it! The only thing holding me back is our neighborhood cc&r's so I will have to store it elsewhere. I went to look at them and it seems like there is more sleeping space in those than in the big motorhomes.

Did you buy new or used? What are you hauling with.....sorry to highjack

Thank you for posting these pictures. I think they were awesome! LOVED them!

I would love to do as the lady behind me and live in one so when a hurricane is headed this way, just disconnect and GO! (But I like my ROOM!)

Those are awesome! I want a motorhome so badly! That's what mine would look like, too, pulling an suv and with bikes attached. Beautiful pictures, too! Looks like a great time!

Me too! I am afraid of anything that big though I plan on working my way up

Great pictures of the desert & your wheels look beautiful. Almost like
taking your "home" with you. The Okie truck looks like it's straight out
of the movie Grapes of Wrath. I would love to see the desert up close one
day myself,

Debbie,

I am definitely jealous!!! What great pictures and such an elegant way of seeing the country. That's definitely the way to travel!!!

I know, I have never driven anything like that! I'd have to learn, for sure!

No, Sonia, they aren't all this big in the US. We are very fortunate to be able to afford such a luxury. Motorhomes like this in the US can range from 28 feet up to 45 feet, which is what this one is.

We are also 102 inches wide and in Europe I know they are restricted to the metric equivalent of 96" wide. Only 6" difference, but it makes a world of difference in how roomy it feels inside. I also believe in Europe they are restricted to a maximum of 40', but I'm not sure about that one. Think tour bus and you'll have a good idea of how big this one is.

I think the biggness of this is very indicative of American's need for BIG. Seems we need BIG everything - big houses, big cars, big states (Texas), etc. My experience is that Europeans are not used to so much space and so much BIGness, which in my opinion is a good thing because BIG also equates to a lot of waste and I believe Americans in general are a very wasteful society. Ok, ok, enough of my political view.....but really, this motorhome is the exact opposite of everything I strive to believe in, but.....it sure is nice and it sure is fun!

Caseysmom - no problem, pop-ups definitely have more sleeping space than motorhomes, and I agree that there are some very nice ones out there, for not a lot of money. I think they have come a long way in the last few years also, adding more and more amenities like refrigerators and port-a-potties. Pop-ups are a great way to get started in camping and I would recommend one to anyone!

As for driving this big thing, I told Terry that we have to do this now while he can still drive, because once he gets too old and can't drive, we're going to have to downsize because I'm NOT driving a 45' vehicle! Of course.....I said that about driving a motorcycle and driving fast in a Corvette....and I ended up doing both so yeah, I'll probably end up driving this too....but only on roads like Hwy 70 through New Mexico - 4 lanes, NO traffic, flat and smooth.

By the way the movie RV is hysterical even for a non rv'er.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I thought I had a pic of me with a sahauro too! From my college days but I can't find it.

I must hide this thread where Don cannot see it. He is very taken with your fabulous RV and the idea of "[I]See the USA in your...."

You could have come a few 100 more miles to the land of milk and honey you know!
