Ya I've been watching the weight. The one I'd really like to see in person is the High Country 343RL. I like the floorplan and GVW is about 12,500. Pretty good chance I won't get out west much, planning on concentrating on the east coast, although I realize there are still mountains to be had. While I realize the V10 may not be the ideal pulling machine, there's gas motorhomes in the mid-high 20K weight range using it and I anticipate being in the 23K and under area. Since it will spend 95% of its time getting groceries I think it will work, and will be cheaper to maintain. Just my thoughts at the moment, things could change.
