We're Shopping Tomorrow...

[Bob Denman]

Clean your glasses!
You DID see the "": didn't you?

The only time I'm serious, is when I'm not breathing!

[Sarge707]

I'm going to have to talk with you about some truly "Newbie" stuff
At some point: the Missus and I will have to actually go someplace in the thing...

...And she has NEVER camped a day in her life!

But, Until then You can sit out on the deck and look at It and say "Honey, Some Day you and me are gonna go for trip In Dat Thing ???

[SpyderAnn01]

If, and that's a big one, you and the Missus ever leave town in the new house on wheels here is a website that you should check out. It is run by a fellow Spyder owner from California and it is a subscription based database that tells you where all of the free or low cost rv parking is. Check it out.

Don't worry, Sarge: there's a couple of long weekends in September and October...
...And Lake George is only three hours away!

...And Lake George is only three hours away!

Big congrats on the land yacht with wheels.Wow is that impressive. Maybe after I win the lottery.

LG may be 3hrs away on your Spyder but a full day in that personal zip code on wheels.

UPDATE: We pick it up on August 26th... one day before our
34th anniversary!

This sure cut out the need for flowers and fancy cards!

They said that delivery will take four hours... There's a lot to learn, before they shove you out into traffic.

[Bob Denman]

Thanks!
By the way: we just figured out that the rig doesn't come with a sewer hose !
What do they think you're gonna do with the toilet, if you don't have one?
On the bright side: that'll take care of my upcoming birthday!

its one of those necessary items you need to have when camping. It's always good to have extra because sometimes the sewer dump is relatively close and sometimes it's not.
Congratulations on your purchase and happy Anniversary too ..!

Flush and Run.

Every RV ive purchased came with a starter kit which includes a stinky slinky. But do yourself a favor and get a good one. The one included stinks. Pun intended. .

Also get a clear twist lock to hook it up to your black drain. Easier to tell when the water runs clear when flushing the tank out.

Now for the RV toilet paper debate ....

I'll start. Just use whatever you've got in your stick built. RV TP is a nothing more then a money grab.

[Sarge707]

They will probably make you take a CDL Bus Driver course just to be sure you can handle the Big Rig and with ALL the different aspects of using it you might just wish you got a second Spyder and Both enjoyed the ride to the Motel and Restaurant where everything is ready to use?

I just caught this thread, it's sort of old, so sorry.

I did a LOT of research on Toy Hauler RV's. I am seriously considering having one for my "home" That's right, full time RV, live in AZ in the winter and Pacific NW in the Summer, and visit all points in between with the Spyder in the back. I'll be a Nomad without a Cause

I decided the Thor 29H was too small in the garage area. 3" just wasn't enough clearance for me, and I obviously am looking for more living area also. I'm zoning in on a used Class A Outlaw, or possibly a Diesel Class C 37-footer (A "Super-C", rare and expensive). There are some other models besides Thor that I am also researching.

Bob, keep us updated on how your 29-H is working out. I'm interested to hear. Good Luck!

[Bob Denman]

The Outlaw 37RB might just fit your needs...
(We were looking at that one first, but decided that it would be a bit too large for me to try and herd down the road. )

Yes, that's in the running. What I am really hoping for is a steal-deal on a quality Thor 35SG Diesel. But I am picky and not in a hurry, time will work in my favor.

[Bob Denman]

It's a buyer's market out there right now: you'll find the right rig!
Most dealerships will knock a quick 25% off of the suggested retail on a new rig.Once it got down to Brass Tacks: we got ours to drop another 10 grand off of the final tally.

[vided]

Just to butt in.
scott tp, it's single plie, inexpensive.
i never had a problem using it on my boats.

[Bob Denman]

"Butting in" about toilet paper: PRICELESS!!
Single-ply... thanks!

You may want to look at my post above. Also consider a mail forwarding address to use for registration to avoid sales tax, when you buy the unit. Many full timers do.
Good luck,
Roger

Yes, thanks. I have looked into that. States have really clamped down on the mail forwarding thing for tax avoidance. But, I do have relatives in Florida that would could act as a free mail forwarding service, and Florida does have some tax advantages for domicile address.

My Honey's idea of camping is a flat screen TV and a Holiday Inn. We went "camping once" and in his mind, "ONCE IS ENOUGH." I showed him your pics but after over 35 years - - the "camping experience" has yet to be forgotten. Enjoy it and drive it in good health!

[LateLifeCrisis]

If you want to buy something that will appreciate over time: load up on firearms and real estate!

We did.....you're correct.....but geez, our Spyders are the FUNNEST thing we've owned since we sold the snowmobiles 15 years ago......

[rtotten]

Another thing you might want to think about is wheel covers, wheel chocks, a longer garden hose to refill the water tank. My folks lived just north of Salt Lake City and us kids would have to put a cover on their RV for the winter, as they did not have covered parking. Another something to think about. My folks had several RV's and loved them all. Might want to consider joining the Good Sam club and get discounts at Camping World as you probably already know. My folks had a flat one time, had to call AAA for them to come out and change the tire. Something else to think about.

I wish I had the money and space to store a RV. I just bought a 17' Kayak and trailer and trailer, and have to rent a storage unit, but it sure is a lot of fun. I wish you the best in your RVing adventures!

So, everyone who purchased a MH experienced a financial disaster?

A MH might not be for you, but many others have had and enjoyed them for yrs. Making great memories and enjoyed the experience.

You are so right. My brother and I (and we're both in our 60's now) still talk about the family camping trips we made as kids. Now that our parents are gone, those memories are even more special. Dad was in the service so money was scarce and our first "camper" was a home made wooden structure placed over the bed of Dad's late 50's pick up truck. WE LOVED IT! We progressed through the years and ended up with "real" RV's which our parents never regretted owning.
