Your rig is perfect for two people. I would love something similar but I’ve got 4 kids and wife that demand that I take them. Plus you can sneak into most any parking lot and take a nap and roll out before the business even gets open.

We’ve had big 45’ class A’s and are currently in a 40’ super C but it’s too small for us if we stay at same spot for more than a couple days. I imagine that if we hadn’t had the class a we wouldn’t know any different but we have and theyre demanding the space back.

There’s a member on cfot that has/had a big Entegra coach and we’re looking for one similar. Newmar is hard to come by with bunks, actually it’s hard to find decent class a’s with bunks over 40’.

At least Yadkin posts up interesting posts and usually with pics. And Yad is actually a good sport about it if you rib him.

More entertaining and informative than the trolls who post nothing of content. And only go in threads to crap all over the OP and others.

Where's the air conditioner? It's hot as blue blazes in large swaths of the country right now. It would be very unpleasant to try and sleep, sweating to death, with no a/c.

For the most part, we don’t camp in the summer, why drive somewhere just to sit in your air conditioned coach?

Besides…our pool is 86F right now, why leave it..?

If you post things that are funny, interesting, or informative, I appreciate that, even if it's something I disagree with. Being a good sport is also a plus. I don't get the vitriol over Yaddie, I really don't. He's a good contributor and a very good sport.

Yes it was me, don't know who or what STS is.

We did have an Integra but we took delivery of our new 2022 Newmar 45' Dutch Star in May of 2021. It took 14 months from the time we ordered it to delivery, the list price from the time we ordered it to the same 2024 model has gone up $165,000.

We just put our order in for a 2024 Newmar London Aire like the one you posted. We did a custom order with different floor plan, woodwork, flooring and paint work. We were able to pick out all the paint colors and interior colors. Should be here in about 8 months.

https://www.newmarcorp.com/luxury-mo...s/london-aire/

FYI we have a trade offer on the one we have of about $15,000 less than we paid for it and I don't think that is all bad.

As for the bottom falling out of the RV market, IMHO it is softing on travel trailers and most RVs but not at all on the luxury line of coaches over $500,000 and up. Far be it from me to have a better idea of value than someone that has probably never even been in on one, say like LD

Entegra



Newmar

It's hard to say exactly as there is my trade involved but around 27+-. I'm not actually trading in but rather putting on consignment at an agreed on price. Are looking to buy a new one, I can make a dealer recommendation by PM if you like.
