[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > LOL > Cliff - enjoying his new Country Coach Inspire 360 The directory just came today. We were paid up to the end of 2005, but they keep sending the magazine and now the 1006 membership directory. Good thing they are not using the Livingston address or I'd be paying extra postage.
Congrats on the Country Coach. I wouldn't have gone for another Newmar either with this Parks clown at the helm. He's turning Newmar into another Fleetwood.
So, tell us about the new Coach?????

> So, tell us about the new Coach????? Well if you click on this link, they have all thee info. Can't say for sure, but believe THAT is a picture of MY coach, as it was built especially for the Rally in Daytona Beach. The craftsmanship is the best, no the BEST! I have ever seen in an entry level coach. Much, much better than the work done in the Mountain Aire. We are still adjusting to being shorter, wider, and taller than before. This one is just under 40 ft., whereas the Newmar was just OVER 41 ft. Best thing, the turning radius. It will make a U-turn on a three lane road (that is, from the turn lane going North, across three Southbound lanes without getting close to the curb.) More as we learn more. One thing, I have always had Cummins engines, this one is a Cat! Time will tell if *Growl* beats *Rattle!* LOL Cliff in Raccoon Valley SKP Park

Cliff - 27 Apr 2006 23:59 GMT > Did they get your desk built in yet? > > Lon Do you believe we STILL have no appointment! Go figure, I never thought a *Salesman* would lie! LOL But, we have decided to keep the couch and not put in a desk at this time. We still have a LOT of planning, Marie has about finished finding holes to put "stuff" into, and we have empty drawers, and cabinets. Sure looked smaller than the Mtn. Aire, but not so. More deceptive sights brought on by superior design and workmanship. Cliff in TN

Since I don't want to offend Janet, I won't say anything about the CC owners club: she'll just have to console herself by joining FMCA.

I wanted to keep CoachNet and didn't want to do it through FMCA <g> so I went with Allegro Owners. Got CoachNet through Newmar but then didn't have a Newmar any more. IMO there isn't any other road service out there that compares.
Newmar isn't what it used to be. Virgil Miller is probably spinning in his grave. JMHO

Things may get better. > > Lon ...er... Not exactly, Lon ... when I called to let them know I had purchased another new coach, but NOT from Newmar, I talked to two of the folks there I had dealt with over the years and who had become friends. Miller is "President" read "Front Man!" while Parks holds the behind scenes title of CEO (Chief Ex. Officer!) looks like the old "If you can't blind 'em with Brilliance, Baffle 'em with Bullshit" ploy to shut up the rank and file Newmar owners. JMO Cliff in Raccoon Valley TN

Dick Vetter - 11 May 2006 20:59 GMT For Kevin, Hunter, & anyone else who might be interested. I live in Ajo, Arizona, full time. This is a rural area and the desert starts as you leave town. I am retired now and have been RV'n since 1974. I have had one (1) TT, two (2) 5'rs, two (2) Class "C"'s, & two (2) Class "A"'s. My current rig is a 2002 Sourhwind 32' Class "A". Due to the current gas prices we are going to limit it's use to longer trips (such as our trip to GA in two weeks. For the some what shorter trips I have on order a Teardrop Trailer on order from So-Cal Teardrops in Ontario, CA. I expect it to be ready by 7/31. I will be towing it with a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. With this set-up we will be able to do some boondocking along wiith some week end trips. I am still waiting to hear from other Teardrop owners. We do not shoot people, we tie them up and leave them for the desert critters to dine on. <VBG>

It is at or around 12,000 ft, cool in summer, and home to the oldest living thing on Earth ... the Bristlecone Pine. http://www.sonic.net/bristlecone/WhiteMts.html There is a great road for 4x4s going up over the mtns. and coming back into the main road North of the turnoff for the dry camp near the Visitors Center.

I couldn't resist the VP remark when I knew your name was "Dick" and Kevin said you might shoot me....
Let us know how it goes with the teardrop.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Good Sam #743981 > FMCA #F243165 Dick, Sorry about "hi-jacking" your thread. But, I did answer your question in a back-handed way :-) if there are anymore questions about my coach, I'll start a new thread. Good Luck with the Teardrop! They make a fine camper, light, easy to pull, and comfortable to sleep in. Cooking during a sandstorm or flooding rain can be a Bitch, though! LOL Cliff in TN
