A possible new addition….
….and not of the animal varity. Nor human, thank goodness. What is this possible new addition? That would be a 1997 Damon Intruder….that’s right, a Class A.
What about Mr.Escalade? Not to worry, we’re keeping him. If we were to trade in, we’d take a loss. Not like we want to trade him in either, no way. We figured it would make more sense to get a used Class A in excellent condition and keep the 5th wheel….it’s cheaper than getting a new truck for the fiver when the lease runs out this June. That and we are itching for a Class A for more reasons than I care to list on here! I’m sure any one with an A would know about this!
And so, the search has been going on for months….the discussion, the debates, the frustration on what route to take, but it’s falling into place. We’re currently scouting out some land (not quite sure where yet however, ugh) to park the Escalade on….build a deck around it and use it as a home base. Then in the future we have the option to get a used truck or whatnot to pull it.
Back to the search, we’ve looked at every RV known to man. From new to used, to literally falling apart. Just trying to gage the differences, the prices of ‘fixing them up’ and things like that. Well today we found ‘the one’. The only floor plan we truly loved. We had recently looked at one of these ‘rare’ floorplans in person, but the unit itself was pretty run down. Listed for $15,000, thought maybe it would be worth the fix up cost at $5000 less but the seller would never have gone for it. Glad we waited for a while, because today I ran across our guy online….in Michigan. For the first time BOTH Bryan and I went: THAT’S IT! Good sign!
