Last year I sold my Motorhome and bought a 32 foot travel trailer. We used it several times and enjoyed it, but we just didn't like it as well as a motorhome. Well, as fate would have it, my son, who is a survey crew chief working for a pipeline construction company, needed a travel trailer to live in while out working on the pipeline. I let him take mine to use for a couple of months. That turned into 6 months and left us not having an RV to use through the summer, not that we could have used it anyway due to my wife's accident and surgery (another story). But now we have been missing going in the RV so much we decided to make my son an offer to buy the travel trailer, which he was thrilled to do (maybe that's why he kept it so long 
). Anyway, my wife and I started looking at motorhomes again because we just liked the motorhomes we've owned better than the travel trailer.
We started out looking at Class A Gasser's since that is what we owned in the past (1984 Allegro and 1998 Allegro). We were shopping at PPL Motorhomes in Houston, a consignment dealer, who sells lots of motorhomes. We had looked at about 15 Gasser's and just couldn't seem to find one that suited us when we spotted this American Dream diesel coach. My wife said "Let's just go in and look at this one before we go". Well, she fell in love with it which surprised and thrilled me and as we were sitting in it talking about it a couple came up to the door and looked in. My wife told them we were almost through and about to go back up to the office when he said that they were the owners of the coach and saw us looking at it and wanted to tell us about it. It seems that they bought the coach new and were looking to get a newer used coach. That was the first day it was out on the lot for sale and they wanted to see it one last time. He said he had always kept the coach inside and kept the maintenance up to date since it was new. He told us a lot about the coach and we enjoyed visiting with them and hearing about the coach first hand from the original owner.
Well, we ended up making the deal on the coach and will pick it up later this week, so we are the proud owners of our first diesel pusher. My wife and I are both like kids waiting for Christmas to get here. I'll probably need a lot of help since this my first time owning a diesel and a coach this large, but I know you guys and gals are always willing to lend a helping hand, so thanks in advance.
