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. :roll:

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.

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

Barbzeee and Crew

Just go with the flow !

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.
