An RV Valentine 2008

What a special Valentine gift we gave each other in 2008 - an RV! After relentless shopping (by Ed) since November,we found a 2001 Holiday Rambler Scepter (38 ft.) with tons of wonderful features.

Once he climbed up and saw the roof is one piece with no end cap, there's a Windgard satellite dish, and the real clincher......not one but 4 solar panels......he was a goner!!!

I'm pleased that there's a tub (small but still, a tub) and a washer/dryer. The cabinets are real wood. I leaned toward lighter wood but the salesman told us that cherry is the best reseller. I prefer wood floors in the kitchen but am not going to complain about the tile - another plus for reselling in the future.

I'm also pleased that we're buying from Lazy Days in Tampa - the largest RV dealer in the world. We've heard many good things from people who've bought from them.

"...Our 150-person sales team ... 273 60-ft service bays and over 300 service and parts personnel...They sell about 40 RV's a day..."

Now that we know the colors (browns, gold, and tan) we can start shopping for a little car or jeep to tow.
