I’m going to view the coach tonight. Can’t wait. There would be exclamation points if it weren’t for the fact that I’m under the weather and bone tired. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

My only real concern with this coach is carrying capacity; ie. how much stuff I can pile into it once it’s loaded with gas, propane, and water. This issue, more than anything else, is going to be the deal breaker or maker for me.<\/p>\n

I toured a family friend’s 30 footer this weekend, which convinced me that I want at least 35 feet and that I’m really not nuts about the pass-through bathrooms.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to apply for ‘proper’ RV financing as this could end up opening up extra options for me. I’m not looking to get the maximum amount of RV a lender is willing to give me, but rather to make sure I don’t pass a great deal because I’m 5K short on cash.<\/p>\n

Later this week, once I’ve had time to gather my thoughts about the Tiffin and calculate its carrying capacity, I’ll contact two other sellers about their coaches, one a bus, the other a diesel pusher.<\/p>\n

The fact that the Tiffin I’m seeing tonight is not a DP really bugs me, although knowing the carrying capacity might assuage some of these misgivings. I have to say that the Tiffin has been the only RV I’ve seen so far with a floor plan I can immediately recognize as being suitable for full-timing. Hopefully, its carrying capacity will be equal to its fantastic layout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
