A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Well, now that I (hope) I've got the image posting figured out, thought I'd introduce you to my rig, Aflo, my first RV. Her name is a bit odd, I know, but she has two sides: (1) Another Fabulous Life Opportunity and (2) Another Frustrating (or other f-word) Learning Opportunity.

She's a 1999 Coach House, with only 41K miles on her that I got for a steal ($12K). Clean, not too worn out, and most systems working. Or at least, in my ignorance, the ones I can figure out HOW to work, because, of course, no manual! I found a local RV service guy, who is coming out next week to take care of a few thing, like hot water and furnace, or at least show me how to get them working. In any case, before I stray too far from home I thought it money well spent to have her checked out thoroughly. I've made new curtains and am looking to recover the cold, ugly linoleum - she's just so, well, beige. More photos to come, I hope.

So far, one short checkout trip 2 hrs from home to Crabtree Falls Campground which is, as the owners claim, just a little south of Heaven! Some rain - good chance to test the awning - but then a beautiful sunny day, perfect for hiking up the falls.

Looks like a wonderful RV and wonderful opportunity for all kinds of possibilities. Good that you are having her checked out. Fixing and maintaining equipment in a timely manner saves money and injuries down the road.

Awning works ~~~ check! Love Alfo's name (whatever meaning ) Hope everything checks out so you can go longer & farther without worries.

LOVE the name!!

Oh, she looks like fun! And with her great name, she will be!

It looks like you got a very good deal. I have a Coach House Platinum that I like a lot. If you are putting carpeting on the floor don't make it too permanent. Carpet and camping don't go together. My motorhome only has a small area of linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom area. In the winter I just put a small rug and when it gets too dirty I replace it. If I knew the linoleum continued under the carpet in the aisle I would take the carpet out of that area.

Adorable little rig! Hoping you have a ton of fun with her!

Great little RV, looks perfect!

Love the name! Coach House is a good company. There will always be some issues to fix in an older unit, but sounds like you got a good deal.

Lookin' good! Hope our paths cross on the road somewhere.

Nice looking rig and love the name. Have fun with her!

Nice looking rig. You will have lots of fun!
Tip: make sure awning completely dry before putting away or if just going short distance home, roll out and let dry. Avoid mold!

Cute name, and, yes, sounds like a great deal. Hotter you have lots and lots of fun with her
