We didn't accomplish much today. Kathy never left the campground. My only excursion was to go over to a local Auto & RV repair place, to make an appointment to have them fix the leak in the power steering unit on my truck. I take it in Thursday morning. Since I'm not sure what they will find, or how long it will take we are picking up a rental car tomorrow afternoon.
Kathy walked over to the clubhouse and worked on the big (1,500 pieces?) puzzle this afternoon. This evening we went to the clubhouse for supper, the main course was some type of stuffed pasta. It was good. After supper we both worked on the puzzle for awhile. It is a BEAR!
I spent 3-4 hours online shopping for Class A's. I talked to a guy in Texas about his 42' 2006 Tiffin Allegro Bus. It appears to have been reasonably well taken care of and the price seems reasonable.
I'd still like to find a 40' unit that I felt comfortable had enough cargo capacity so that we wouldn't overload it. They all look like they have a lot of capacity until you start subtracting of 1,050# for 150 gal of diesel, 800# for 100 gal of fresh water (there easily could be times when I want to have the tank full so that we don't have to rely on campgrounds every night), 120# of propane, another 80# for the water in the 10 gal water heater, etc. The allowable cargo weights in the brochures are for coaches with standard equipment. Once you start adding options (larger refrigerator, washer/dryer, more or larger TV's, etc.) it reduces the cargo capacity. I've inquired about several coaches and asked specifically that the current owner take a photo of the sticker, typically in one of the kitchen cabinets, that shows the weight of the coach as it went out the door, with all the factory options. No one has provided me with that information.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
