Red - RED is so pretty!! Looks like she belongs in your driveway. I still stand beside mine (2007 HR 35' DP) and look up and think "gee, she's tall" and she's only 12'7". I think yours is closer to 13'. VERY high profile. You will adjust. Enjoy all the miles and smiles.

AWESOME!!! Can we see the inside, please? Driving and parking a mh is a piece of cake ;) I always think that if I can do it, anyone can. I guess I just never let it intimidate me. Actually, the mh I enjoyed driving the most was the biggest. It was a 40' Itasca Ellipse diesel pusher. Smooooth 8-)

Beautiful!!! I know you will enjoy and will soon be comfortable wheeling it down the road.
It's too bad though about the pecan trees

I love your excitement...all the learning will evolve over time and one day soon you will be very comfortable navigating any situation...now, like a couple of others said 'Pictures please of inside' so we can drool some more..

So pretty and sooo big. I find it interesting that you bought 2 new rigs in 6 months. Today, almost one month to the day, I traded my rig for another. I think there is a lot to be said for renting what you think you want initially instead of buying. I know I lost money in the deal but I just wasn't comfortable with my first choice. It didn't speak to me...so to speak.

I took it back for some things to be fixed that weren't right and while at the dealership I asked my salesman what would it take to trade at this point. He gave me a figure and I jumped on it, maybe too prematurely, but I found another that seemed to be a better fit for me. It just happened.

Who knows...maybe 6 months from now I'll trade again.

I love yours though... It really is pretty and I am impressed with anyone who can drive one that big. But then, isn't this whole RVing thing a big challenge? It certainly is for me. Enjoy your new rig!

We have the right to change our minds, Right?? :P The 5th wheel just didn't work out for my DH. RED looks big, but is 34 feet. :P

In 27 years I have had 4 motorhomes. Started with 22' that slept 3, up to a 24' that slept 6, up to a 27' that slept 8 and down to a 23' that sleeps 2. Each were good for the time and circumstances that I had them. The one I have now is good for one person and really tight for 2. Since I travel with my sister or my son and grandson would really like to have another bed and a few more feet. My favorite was the 27' that had twin beds in the back in a separate room. If you are traveling with others it's nice to have your own space.

The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the open floor space. It was huge!!! And Red has all kinds of storage in this thing.
