Yep, I seen it. We are at the New Mexico Club rally in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Kay Wilkes from RV Sales brought down a new gray 30TKE Limited. It is not painted, the fiberglass is gray. It has all the standard Limited graphics on it. It looks the entry door and all the plastic parts might be painted. The 30 TKE floorpan is surprisingly roomy looking.
My wife and I haven't decided whether we like it or not. It could be one of those things that has to grow on you.

As soon as I posted this, I realized someone was going to ask for pictures. Of course, it was dark by then. I will get some posted tomorrow.

Tommy,

You don't have flash yet on your camera? Just kiddin'! Lookin' forward to seeing this rascal. I heard of it and it got me excited to see it. Wonder if it is a limited production model to see if it takes off.

Show me the pics!! Tom

Love the NM area. My bride lived in ABQ, T or C, and Grants a few years ago. I think we've cover every mile of that state! Done about 6 or 7 balloon fiestas. What a spirtual experience. Love it.

As soon as Rock wakes up, he should be able to get some pictures of the New Excel. I forward him a 1/2 pics or so to view of the Optional Color.
Some like, some don't. I like it better than paint.

The new 30TKE was mentioned in the most recent newsletter, but the Excel website doesn't have any information on it yet. I'd be interested in seeing the floorplan!

Thanks to Tom, aka 'Wrongway' for these pictures of the new Excel. IMO, I think this is going to be a 'top-seller' for PI -- at least its something other than the industry standard of white!

Doug, come on over for the ice cream social tomorrow afternoon. I have to go home tomorrow, but there will still be several folks here. We are at the Hacienda R.V. Resort at exit 140 on I 10. You can't miss it, just look for the gray Excel.

I agree 'Rockin' -- the gray gives it more of an upscale look versus the white. I think PI has a winner with this idea!
