"So Many"? Check the number on the big 3 sales lots, ant parking lot or even CG. Not that many. There is a need! The reason I would not buy a Vanleigh Beacon is the 14,000+ dry weight requires a...

No rush for us. 65 - 68 is about it unless passing. At times an overnight stop at a nice CG will turn into a 2 or 3 day stay. The days I push for 1000 miles are over.
