Dream RV

[WesternFordGateway]

Curious about something — if you could get a free brand-new RV today, what model/make would you choose? Would love to hear your answers and the logic behind your decision.

 

[Mr Lars]

If someone is willing to give me something for free, an RV would be way down on my list. That being said, an rv that is easy to cool, easy to heat, and has a furnished cook. Other than that, make/model would be irrelevant.

 

[Larry N.]

Dream on, but Newell, Prevost, ForeTravel, and maybe top-of-the-line from Newmar, American Coach and such would be way up there.

There are several others, but here's one site's top choices: 7 Top Luxury Motorhome RV Brands You Won't Believe

What Larry said. One of them top of the line primo units towing a stacker trailer with a SxS, car/jeep/and other toys. LOL

The new Grand Design (Winnebago) Lineage super C

Every couple of years i go to an RV show and ask myself this question, and I have yet to see anything I like better than my 23 year old Safari Trek. At least I don't find anything with its amount of living space in a sub 30 ft coach, with its tank capacites.

I would custom build my own or find an older one and do a frame up restoration. Not sure what brands i would want. Still trying to figure out if we will do another rv and what would work for us

My "dream" RV would be like that one custom made a few years ago that floats on water or drives on land! Now, that would be something!

I’ll be right back. Had to look this one up.

Strange to me that all these "7 top Luxury Motorhomes" are HUGE. As if one can't have luxury in a much smaller more flexible rig.

That’s the reason I chose this.

Space is a luxury in an rv

I really like the Class C layout, but, I would want one without that over-cab sleeper. A modest set of shallow cabinetry for the electronics and entertainment system would be fine.

Right, but to a point. Subjective of course but I think everyone has their personal sweet spot so to speak when it comes to size and even if money was no object, no reason to go beyond that IMO. I'd rather put the $$$ into customization.

 

[Chef Duane]

Customized EarthRoamer. Go anywhere, do anything, ATRV.

 

[Larry N.]

Yes, they're very attractive, expensive (even used) and if I were a lot younger and single they'd be on my list. They're made just a few miles north of me.

I think I would buy this one again. The Class A below. It's had its share of minor issues, but none of it was a big deal.

Things I like about this RV is the four door Norcold refrigerator that keeps perfect temps (even if it's the absorption type!) and the large bed I can use without putting the slides out. Also, the Ford 7.3 L engine with the six-speed auto is nice. I also like the size of this motorhome, which is perfect for me and meets the requirements for a 30-foot limit campground. This rig is 29' 11".

And it was easy to add what I wanted, such as a high-power 2nd DC & AC system with a 300-AH Lifep04 battery and 4KW inverter and 60-amp converter (in addition to the stock 1200 -watt inverter--which I made no changes to).

I am getting used to the tankless water heater, and find it useable, even when boondocked as I am now, but I would prefer the tanked for sure.

One thing I do not like is this motorhome cannot be used all that well when it is 110F outside. Engine heat from under the rig makes the problem worse than it needs to be. But I am not RVing in 110F all that often.

It can be fun to ponder getting more, something flashier, more shiny, more impressive, brand new but I find the exercise somewhat distracting and empty. Best for me to accept what I have and enjoy it and feel grateful for what I do have. I have tried to eliminate all the shiny, fancy things in my life. It’s a trap of more and more. I like the older rigs that a guy has put some sweat into to keep it on the road. There’s a guy here at the campground that redid a 1966 travel trailer that is just gorgeous (Boles Aero). Another guy gutted and restored a 70’s era airstream that is really cool.
