Our new rig

After a 6-month test of actually owning and using a motorhome (used 1999 Southwind 36T), we decided that this RVing idea works for us. We've just traded the Southwind for a brand new 2004 Kountry Star 3740. It's on a Workhorse W22. After following the numerous IRV2 WH threads I insisted on one and boy am I glad. What a difference.

We bought it at Dave Arbogast RV in Troy - what a great bunch of people, honest, fair helpful, everything you could possibly hope for. The one stop on our way home was a brief overnight stop in a Walmart parking lot - we called ahead and got the okay. So now I want a brief, close to home shakedown trip before we head south for the winter.

I didn't think the extra half bath would be that useful for just the two of us (my wife Sylvia's the copilot) but with the bedroom slide in I didn't have to climb over her in the middle of the night. I don't expect to need this advantage more than occasionally but it was nice to have.

We are pleased as punch.

Congradutlations on your new rig. I'm sure you will have a great time using it during your trips. We had an '03 3740 and really enjoyed the bath and a half.
