Hi everyone,
We are Richard and Barbara. We are located in albuquerque and have both recently retired. we are anxious the join the family of full-timers. After deciding to explore FT, we purchase a used 34 ft (1995 alegro bay) in January 2006. we have taken several trips so far, the longest being 1 month. We have decided that we want to become FT. We purchased the alegro bay because it was in good condition and had good maintenance records. Also, it was attractively priced. We felt that if we did not like rving, we could recover most of what we paid for the alegro. However, we are hooked. We placed our home on the market 3 weeks ago and it has already sold. Presently, we are looking to upgrade to a newer, more spacious unit. We foung a 2004 Fleetwood Bounder 34f (34 ft). It has triple slides and 3600 miles. I am not familiar with RV's in general. The dealer want approx. $93000 minus a trade of $27000. Does this sound like a good deal? Also, I would like to hear from anyone who has had direct experience with this make and model concerning its reliability and possible maintenace and repair expense in general. I am, in addition, looking at a maintenance contract thru good sam. Any thoughts on it value?
