[Trailer Trash 2]

We bought ours a factory order from Mike Thompsons RV in November 2003 so its a 04 in reality. we started our 12th year today, as for buying a new rv is not going to happen, at 72 another payment book is just not in my budget like you I'm in the 60K yearly money bracket as you are.
Our 2004, 2980 RL has been a very reliable rig other than the usual upkeep and maintenance, we don't full time it so its more of a vacation and get out of town home. it beats hotels and motels to pieces, that's why we bought it.
I also often wonder how a person can afford it every 2 to 4 years for a new rv, different income brackets do help and a full timers. the trade in value might be higher but in the long run a person looses in the equity they invested as far as I'm concerned.
