One way or another adventures await! Congrats Bob!

Congratulations on the new toy, Bob
I'm sure it was a wrenching decision after planning for a Spyder retirement, but that's a nice new rig you have and it should take you to some great adventures.

PS: Was wondering about your previous statement about dealer "negotiations." Now we know what you bought. Before then, was wondering if Ryker was in the future, based on some other comments you had made. 
 
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

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! 
May you and the misses have many happy days motoring around in the new ride. Happy Trails My Friend

I missed those posts where you were selling your spyder. So, yesterday I typed in "golf+cart", and came upon the thread. I am sorry that you had to give up the spyder for health reasons.

I'm debating a travel trailer toy-hauler. Bumper pull. But first I have to get a bumper with which to pull it. My Rav4 won't pull much of anything. Since I live in a condo, also have to figure out where to store it.....

The RAV4 is only rated for 1500 pounds...
(We've got a 2015 Limited, and it's been a great car!)
Happy hunting for the "right bumper"!

No doubt about that..! The diesel motors that are well maintained will run half a million miles and run well throughout that time period..! They are engineered for torque so running up hills are usually never a problem for them. Good choice..👍

You are right about how things can change.
After riding single track motorized vehicles for over 50 years, and a Spyder RSS for 4 years, and having been retired for 2 years, I have been on the lookout for a luxury pop-up for my wife and myself to enjoy. something we can toss the bicycles on top of or the kayaks and go out with the dog for a couple of days and simply relax. She has not been a lover of riding either motorcycles or spyders and this way she and I can enjoy time spent together during our waning years. Needless to say, the RSS may be on the alter of sacrifice for this all to happen comfortably.
Time moves on and things change...……………
Along with that, one of my grandsons is interested in becoming involved with a competition trap league. Popop has sorta kinda volunteered to help with travel to and from competitions and the trailer would be rather handy in that. A whole lot more so than the spyder.

Hard-sided pop-ups are much more secure, and warmer at night...
Happy Shopping!

So.. how much towing capacity does that thing have? Because the natural progress would be to ask if it can tow a trailer with a Spyder on it.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I believe that was the point being made with the comment about the bumper.

It'll have more room for the two of us, in spite of being over 5 feet shorter.
