I'm gunna hafta keep my wife outa the new coach area here @ the Rally. The new paint jobs are really sweet, more headroom in the latest models, Smart-Beds, cleaner utility bay access, fancier floor tile, more stylish overhead lighting (no more rectangular fluorescents; this may have been true for 2007 models),
cross-bed propane tank improves other storage layouts, access to HWH is truly professional and easy to work on, 36FD models now have full width door.
Hope I can find other stuff to keep SWMBO occupied!!!

E-Mike,
I gotta agree. Fortunately the 07's have most of it and since I am not that tall, the increased head room is not a factor for me and the Mrs. gotta say, Dave seems to be committed to the Alpine, I had a chance to talk to him some today.
Hope that for those of you who couldnt make it here, the Oregon coast and ODR shouldn't have been missed

Danny- We're in space 007.
Guess I don't hafta worry about the wife. PS living room slide jambed part way in yesterday while demonstrating the slide noise for the tech's doing quickie repairs. Wouldn't go in; wouldn't go out. The kind of failure that means you can't move the coach. Crow bars & two guys finally pried the slide loose. Looks like coach will spend a month at the factory to be remanufactured (starts w/taking the slide-out apart, then out). Wife zipped right by the new WRV products on her a.m. walkabout, probably setting a new speed record thru the display. No worries.
Now our FMCA Redmond experience next week may be a much bigger danger, tho not in the WRV sales area

Remember Mike all RV's are blood sucking money pits. WRV units don't suck any more than others. Maybe the wife would like to buy a yacht.

Good job Hugh and Cyndi  .
Paint job is nice and conservative the way we like it. But, not enough for us to plunk down 265 large. Wait...it will be the banks money
Looks like everyone is having fun, and the sun is shining!

While we were at the Factory picking up the new coach we had seen the new coaches on the production line. We were concerned about the new height and didn't like the look of the new tile when seen from the overhead walk. Now that we have seen them in person we really love them. The new graphics, interiors, tile, seats and larger cabnets are really great.

Hugh, these pics are great! I also took some pictures of both inside and out, sent them to Dave Fernandez for him to post on the SoCal website. Hope they look as good as yours, Hugh.
