Newbie 2 Class A's

[Xjaywalker]

New to this forum and to Class A's. We are looking at moving from a 5th wheel to a diesel pusher and like the National Tradewinds models.

We are looking for a 2001-2003, Model M-7350 or M-350LE. Any advise on these units would be greatly appreciated.

PS - 2 years away from retirement. We wanted to get started on short trips and give us time to figure out any special requirements. Timing is not the best with GAS prices skyrocketing....Oh well...I guess we are all in the same boat.

Thank you again - in advance.

We have a 7370 so it's a little longer than what you are looking for. The Tradewinds is a well built coach and we full time. We've found ours has quite a bit of storage and it's logically done. We've added a bunch of improvements over the past 14 months (right now we are replacing the micro/convection oven). Ours has a Freightliner chassis and Cat 300HP engine and is agreat combo for power and MPG. Good luck in your search.

Just found a 2003 Trop-Cal with 3 slides at a CAT 330 in CO. $64K ...PP
Nada is $65 high retail....

How long have you been fulltime? That is our goal.

Question? Do you have specific RV Parks that you stay at or are you all over the country?

Thanks

We have been fulltiming since last July, but planned and studied all we could for 6 years prior. We have a couple specific parks as we spend one month in NE and one month in WV visiting 2 of our sons. Our other son in Vegas has an RV pad and hookups so we spend time there as well. Winters are spent in AZ at my wife sister's large property where we have FHUs. In between we just pick what we like and spend a night or so as we travel. So I guess you'ld say we are not typical as a good part of the year we do not spend anything for camp grounds.
I'd make an offer on that Tropi Cal and see what happens. This is a buyer's market now and especially with fuel prices.
