It's funny how fast things can Change...

[Bob Denman]

So here I was: the happy owner of an RT-Limited, and a Toyhauler RV with which to haul it with us... :shocked:
Suddenly: the bike is sold...:barf:
A golf cart is ordered...
And now: the Toyhauler is sold also! :yikes:

We figured that we didn't need a secure garage for a cheap golf cart; so we're getting a Tiffin Wayfarer as a replacement RV! :clap: It'll have more room for the two of us, in spite of being over 5 feet shorter. :thumbup:

Adios: old friend...




And welcome to the Wayfarer!

 

[Chupaca]

That's life....

You plan and god laughs....:roflblack: congratulations and sure gald you were able to back out of it all so nicely. Great new motorhome...:clap::clap:

 

[LeftCoast]

One way or another adventures await! Congrats Bob!

 

[UtahPete]

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.

:congrats::congrats: on the new RV. We both like the looks of that one a lot.

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. :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

I'll always be thinking about another Spyder...
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! :yes::yes::yes:

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! :shocked:

Why is that such a stretch?? :dontknow: You KNOW that some people hafta cough up for new kitchen bench tops just to get a few farkles for their Spyder... and a Mercedes is a fair bit bigger'n more expensive those farkles! It's only logical & to be expected, innit??


:roflblack: :roflblack:

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.

Traded a Ford for a Mercedes ?????? What are you some part of the unamerican lefty mob ????? This is Merica dammit !!!!! :joke:


Only playin.............. Congrats on the new rig, she is a beauty !!!!!! :thumbup:

 

[sandeejs]

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.....

We've been up to Amsterdam twice in the past two weeks...

[Dmetcalf]

Nice looking rig you picked up ...

Is it a Diesel engine or gas ..? Mercedes is known to build some pretty stout diesels ..!
Congrats and enjoy .!

 

[Bob Denman]

It's got the V-6 diesel in it. :thumbup:

We figure that it'll probably outlast the both of us!

Congrats on your new rig, happy travels to you and yours.

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"! :thumbup:

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..

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: :thumbup:
But a lot of the more compact Class C rigs are now coming on a Ford Transit Chassis.


Their little 5 cylinder Turbo diesel; puts about 25 more foot-pounds of torque under your right foot...
