QUOTE="NWLanding;1732906"]My wife and I are currently motor homeless, but hope to remedy that in about five years when we get our first Newmar DP. We've been on a car touring vacation for the last 2.5 weeks in S. Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Yesterday we stopped at Wall, SD to see what all the hype was about Wall Drug and pulled up next to a 2014 Dutch Star 4369, needless to say I had RV lust!!! We went and walked around Wall Drug (the Disneyland of SD), and upon returning to the van I saw the DSDP owner loading some items into their basement. I complemented him on his beautiful coach and we started chatting about Newmar coaches. Come to found out we were chatting with Dick Parks, CEO and chairman of the board of Newmar. Dick was amazingly gracious and offered to let us tour the inside, even putting the jacks down and extending the slides. What perfect gentleman!!!! Needless to say I fell asleep thinking about the coach and had sweet dreams too! I must be an RV geek to count this experience up there with all the wildlife and amazing landscapes and natural features we've seen in the last couple of weeks.[/QUOTE]

I've got an interesting update to this story from our vacation this last fall. We just finished three days at the Tampa RV show and on day two we got to test drive a 4369 Dutch Star. Mickey was our chaperone/monitor for the test drive and when I got in I commented that the coach looked a lot like the one we saw at our Wall Drug encounter with Dick Parks (described above). Mickey laughed and told us that the coach we were about to drive is Dick's!!!! Talk about small world stuff!!! To end up up test driving the same coach six months latter and 3,000 miles distant is a hoot!! I joked that I thought we should buy the coach to compete the trilogy. Who knows if that will happen but wouldn't that be perfect?

Life is great isn't it?

That's a nice story...what you are going to find is it is not that big a world in this lifestyle and once in, you're going to experience these episodes of deja vu over and over with the new friends you meet.
