Da Show

Headed to the local RV show today. We spent the morning/afternoon and had a great time checking out coaches and campers from 20k to 700K. Some amazing stuff! Pretty good crowd and a number of coaches already sold at the show. The economy is clearly doing very well as evidenced by the quantity of units on display and the large crowds in attendance.

We are very satisfied with our 2005 Fleetwood,  but it was fun to inspect the latest stuff. I can't imagine trying to negotiate the highway in one of the monster 40+ footers we checked out today. We have a 32 footer now and that is challenging enough to handle. If anything we would downsize.
I took lots of pictures!!

 Check out this monster!

 Helllllooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I focused my fight eyes on the large coaches, but there were campers of all sizes at the show. They've got something for everyone! From tiny tow behind your car to giants larger than a Greyhound bus! It is an industry clearly thriving at present.

Well to do Americans (and Canadians) are spending big bucks for luxurious homes on wheels with hefty carbon footprints. But some are just massive in size! Coaches clearly out of hand and hard to justify in my mind. After all, who needs 3 tv's and two full bathrooms on a 44 foot coach? That is just excessive!  'Merica, gotta love it!
