Well it's been fun chatting with all of the past few years but I am afraid I must bid you a fond farewell.
The economy finally caught up with me and I am losing my coach. Hopefully better days lay ahead.
Take care and God Bless

Sorry to hear it, it will get better and you don't need a new rig to enjoy the fun get a vintage one cheap and keep traveling

Sorry to hear about it. It's been a rough couple years.
Don't be afraid to downsize. There is ALOT of fun to be had in something that can be enjoyed without breaking the bank. I think I had as much or more fun when we pulled the travel trailer as the motorhome now. Lots and lots of little rigs out there that can be pulled with modest cars.
I hope to see you down the road some day soon!

Tom,
The economy, especially the high gas/fuel prices and the spin off making everything else more expensive, is hurting many of us. I am sorry that you are having to leave RVing, and I wish you well.

Sorry to hear it. But just for the record, Some of our best memories are when we were in a popup.

Sorry to hear that is right, while I've been ok so far through this downturn, I did get caught back in the early 80's when I was a lot younger and virtually had to start all over again.
Hang in there and make the best of it. Things will improve.

Even with all of the enhancements and improvements in my fiver I only have about $15K total in expenditure, including the original purchase price. I purchased from someone in your situation, who needed the money more than the RV. Stick around, I'm on a boat forum and sold my boat five years ago.

Sorry to hear of your situation. A lot of people are in the same boat so don't feel you are alone on this one. Stick around and chat for now, times will improve and I'm sure your situation will as well. Good Luck and hang in there.

I'm going from a Class C to something I can pull with my minivan for the same reason, might be something to consider. Good luck no matter what you decide

Sad stories. I hope we weather the storm.
Good luck. We can still learn from your past experiences.

Let me add my condolences to the others and as stated, don't be afraid to "downsize". That is if you still enjoy the lifestyle. Remember how you started out in rv'ing. I bet there are very few that jumped right into an '07 class A.
