Well your coach manufacturer overlooked quite a few possible options I’d say.

Thank for sharing,

We are guilty of that. Started the mods with less than 500 miles on the RV and kept going over the winter. Definitely spent as much time working on it as we have using it. But like many have said, it is something that I enjoy and it has become a goal to make the RV the best I can. Plus this gives me something to work on together with my youngest-> he shares my enjoyment of working on mechanical stuff. Plus he will be off to college in 2 years....best have fun with him while I can.

One must remember, that for us gearheads, RVing is more than just a mode of travel. The good news is, that one doesn't need another hobby and probably saves a lot of money in the long run.

I agree, and it beats spending money watching others play sports.

RVing is great for youth.

I’m not complaining, It just reminds me of driving through one mud hole for fun then spending a day detailing the mess.

Good thoughts.

I guess my problem is I have way to many hobbies with unfinished parts to enjoy those hobbies.

Thanks
