Ella and I
spent the morning looking at RVs. We’ve
been looking on various RV dealer web-sites as well as on Craig’s List. Well today we decided to go into Des Moines
We went
into the sales office and talked to Dennis (he called himself ‘the menace’
which was good for name recall). We told
him the parameters of what we were looking for: 2000 or newer, $10,000 or less,
rear kitchen, travel trailer, at least one slideout and less than 30 foot.
So, he
showed us 2002 Sierra, rear kitchen, single slide for $10,000 and a 5th
wheel. I really liked it. Ella liked it. Oh oh! We both liked it. Then he showed us a 33 foot, travel trailer,
rear kitchen, single slide and $15,400.
Then we looked at a Hitch Hiker II, 1997, 5th wheel, single
slide, side kitchen, four season package for $11,500. Ella really liked it! I liked it – but not as much as the
Sierra. So, back to the Sierra to look
at it again. I liked the rear kitchen
with more counter space than the Hitch Hiker.
I liked the layout of the Sierra.
Ella really liked the Hitch Hiker!
I took a bunch of pictures of the Sierra and then back to the Hitch
Hiker. I took a bunch of pictures of the
Hitch Hiker. I really liked the pantry
slideout shelving in the HH, I really
liked the mattress in the HH. The HH had
new tires (no small expense on a 5th wheel). I liked the table and chairs in the HH over
the booth and table in the Sierra. The
HH had huge storage in the underbelly garage. The HH was four season with
heated and enclosed holding tanks where the Sierra was a 3 season with enclosed
but unheated holding tanks. I really
liked the HH!
We put a
down payment on the HH.
