Response to questions raised by Jean N Steve:
I would love to be a full timer, not in my husbands DNA. He needs the "home base" connection. Me, I could be gone until I could not go any more.
We are looking for a gently/used coach. Really not interested in the price tag of the brand new coaches.
Wanting to stay under 40ft. Our 36b coach is enough space for us, especially b/c we spend so much time outside the coach. My thougth process, I can only be in 3 square feet area at a time.
Another factor: we prefer the booth/U/L dinnette, not the table and 2 chairs.
I understand that many of the coaches we find are made for 2 people.
Models I am gravitating towards to meet out needs:
Ventana LE 3709 and 4002
Allegro RED 37BA and Phaeton 37BH
Fleetwood Discovery 38K and 40E
A factor for me is the reduction of the sway from cross winds and large rigs.
I know the formula for testing out the wheelbase ratio and that is important to me and my husband. Take the wheelbase divided by the length of the coach (in inches) then to get the percentage multiply by 100. Any number above 50 is acceptable, but the higher the number the safer the coach and easier to drive. So one thing that Newmar has going for me is the comfort drive!
Thanks and I welcome comments and suggestions.
Response to scenic route:
should I look at any particular site in Texas?
I will look at the Monaco. Friends of ours from the UK softball days, they have a Monaco and love theirs.
Thanks,
