In search of the perfect RV...

While we were in Tennessee we noticed a large RV dealer just outside of Knoxville called Tennessee RV As we pulled into the store we were hoping to see some of the RV's we had on our list.  It would be really nice to start whittling the list down a bit and get it more manageable since my list is still really long. Number one on the list is the Alegro Bay 32BA.  We had already been to an RV show in Houston, Texas and decided 32 feet would be doable for us as a full time rig and the quality that Tiffin is known for as well as its drive-ability had put it at the top of the list but we still hadn't been able to see one yet.

So we start walking around the lot and I noticed they had some new Tiffins on the far side of the lot.  We strolled over to see them and lo and behold there was a brand new 2010 Alegro Bay 32BA. Here it was! Number one on our list... well we aren't looking for a new one but this is the same rig and floor plan so we enter it... First we noticed we didn't like the kitchen as it really had too little counter space, then there was the dining booth ( I think we now prefer the regular table and chairs), and the biggest disappointment was that it just didn't feel like home...

Well that did it and off the list it went. So we are now in search of the next number one on our list... it may be another Tiffin but there are some Winnebagos that are worthy of the spot as well. Back to the research and in search of our future rig...

RV awareness..

Well I am sitting here in a hotel in (of all places) Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  Why, you may ask,am I in the heart of where Dollyworld is located? The answer... I am on the way to see my DD play softball again at the University of Tennessee.  Last week we were in Baton Rouge, Louisiana watching her play at Louisiana State University. We drove about 750 miles between Texas and Louisiana and now we are driving about 800 miles between North Carolina and Tennessee. Yes... we are crazy and Yes... we are huge fastpitch softball fans.

So what is the point of this story?  It is all about RV awareness...RVA! Everywhere I look now I see RV's ... motorhomes to the left, fivers to the right, pop-ups, travel trailers, toy haulers... OH MY! This RVA is driving me crazy.  I was never aware that there were so many of them on the road, in yards, on the side of the roads, in storage areas.... We see them in the RV parks... which are everywhere also.  We stop and drive into some of the parks and take notes (don't know when we might be passing through).   But this RVA has us seeing RV's everywhere. Dang! They are everywhere... but where is mine?
