    Bob, are you going to still be on Spyderlovers??? We all need your comments. Things do change. My son found my original Mr. Norm's 1971 Dodge Demon and bought it. Since then, I bought a plum crazy 1969 Barracuda notchback. Something to expand the use of what free time I have. Have stay active. Good luke my friend with what ever you do.

    Their little 5 cylinder Turbo diesel; puts about 25 more foot-pounds of torque under your right foot...
    You obviously did your research, mind if I ask why you picked the Mercedes over some of the other options out there?

    Truthfully: it came down to getting the floorplan that we felt would best suit our needs.
    It happened to come from Tiffin, and they only use the Mercedes Chassis as the basis for their Class C RVs.

    But they DO cost a bit more...

    Cost a bit more? Yeah, but you can afford it. You own your own business. That makes you one of the "rich" ones.

    I am happy you were able to see the humor in my statement.

    I hesitated to post it because one has to be sooo careful about offending people these days. But then I decided you and I have similar sense of humor and did it.

    I'll tip a wee dram of "th' water o' life" to you and the missus enjoying many hours of use of the new "home on wheels".

    Believe me: it's all good!
    Thanks for the kind sentiments...

    As far as offending me: my hide is thick enough to stop a depleted uranium round fired from an Abrams!

    Wow, Bob! I've been away for a while, and things have really changed for you. Last I heard you had only your Spyder for sale. And you must have made a killer deal on buying that toy-hauler to have gained $8k on the sale! Good on you!

    I'm probably gonna sell my flat-bed trailer soon. I use it to haul my F3T behind my pick-up and RV. Interested?

    I was at the Texas Spyders in the Hills rally last week. I used up the 15 gig hot-spot data allowance in 3 days and had to resort to only using my phone for all my internet access. It was my first rally for the Spyder Attic.

    Bob, as I recall you or your wife have a Mini Cooper. You might consider flat towing that if you still have it. We have a Leisure Travel Unity built on the same Mercedes chassis and the same 6 cyl diesel. We tow a Mini with no problem. We only take it when we are going to be in one place more than a couple of days. One of the advantages of the class B+ RV is you can park it in most places. It's still a PIA to pick up camp when you want to do a some sight seeing or just running to the store.
    Love my

    Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by a defective nut holding the handlbars.

    "Trickie"
    (If I may call you by your first name... )
    We DID have a really cool MINI; but traded it in...
    Our new setup allows for a proper "Toad", or a Golf Cart: not both.
    At this point in time (with my legs being what they are): we'll use the Cart to get around the rV parks, and public transportation for seeing the local sights.


    Dave,
    I played Golf in High School for just long enough to know that nobody in the PGA would ever be knocking on my front door...
    Now that my eyes are shot: if I manage to hit a golf ball... it's just gone and lost forever!

    Hi Patti!
    I got the pictures, and am in the midst of negotiations with the Missus!
    It's a real beauty!
    Pop me a price; once you've got one in mind...

    The funny thing about this deal: we sold the Thor for over $8000 more than we paid for it!
    How the Hell that ever happened: I have no idea!

    The new Tiffin is built on a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis.

    I always told the Missus that I'd buy her a Mercedes some day... I never realized that I'd have to buy a house in order to do it!
    you have done good my friend. May the misses and you have many miles of happy motoring. Go out and enjoy the time together. Maybe one day y'all can get down Nashville way. Happy Trails
