Okay, lets see if I can do this. Here's my monster rig.
Well, it's not a very big picture, but we were at Drummer Boy Campground in Gettysburg, PA.

Wow,.... great MH,..... I can't imagine driving something that huge! But you sure do get a lot of storage and living space... which is always a good thing. i really like the color combo in the paint job!

You know, it's only 34' so it is about the same size as Mabel. Has 2 slides. Probably a little taller than Mabel at 12'6". Sometimes it scares me when I go through an underpass!
If I ever figure out what I'm doing with photobucket, I'll try to enlarge the picture. Or post another one.

One thing I wish I had but don't on the RT is an awning. I do think I'd use it a lot. Yours looks so inviting to sit under and chat a spell.

Karen, it's an A. Like driving a bus!
Liz, I love the awning, mostly because it is automatic! I had a class C with the manual awning, and it was a chore for one person to try to put out and put back in. Especially someone who is vertically challenged as I am!
Drummer Boy was a pretty nice campground...I should do a review, shouldn't I? Advice...if you ever go there, make sure you get a site way in the back as it is directly off of Route 15 and where we were you could hear the traffice ALL THE TIME! And there is a lot of traffic on that road. Other than that, it was a nice roomy campground.

nice looking rig, and the automatic awning is something I'll definately
want on my new rig.

Paulette, the Allegro was my very first Class A and I loved her.. and still to this day.. I would have kept her..only we grew in numbers... but she was well built and never did I have anything major with her.. She gave me a good ride for my money..and from what I hear..she is still going... LOL gosh.. the guy that bought her was a Mechanic that loved to go to the races.. and off she went....purrring all the way too..
I'll get to see yours tomorrow..woooooooohoooooooo..
God Bless

Paulette, I love her. She's a beaut. Do you like the fred? I looked at them and didn't think I could warrant a diesel.

I like it a lot. And right after I got it is when the diesel prices started going higher than gas prices! My luck!
Yeah, it is really quiet for a diesel...folks tell me that all the time. And it is quiet inside too while driving.
