RV Show

Pete donned a baseball cap and I pulled on my mom jeans and off the family went to the Dulles Expo center to the RV show. (Well, really a computer company hat for Pete and Levi's for me, but you get the drift)

To anyone who may have missed me talking about it, we are researching living and traveling in an RV for a year. But we couldn't get very serious until we got tall Pete into some real live RVs to see if his head scraped the ceiling and if he fit in the shower enough to wash all over.

It looks like my dream of a 32' rig is out of the question. But we liked many of the 5th Wheels we saw (that's the kind you hitch up to a pickup truck to haul around) and decided that what works best for us is the master bedroom in the rear and a bunkhouse up front. More privacy, more headroom for Pete in our bedroom, bunk beds for the kids, and a place for them to keep all their junk where I don't have to trip over it at every turn. A win for everyone!

Now we have to find more rigs with this set up than the ONE that was at the show.

Anyone in the know, we are going to look at:

Coachman Chaparral 340 QBDS
Keystone Cougar 316 QBS
Keystone Laredo 32 RS

Feel free to comment on your experience with these brands.
