RV options for those who still have $$ in their investments

When I started this blog two things were in my reasoning. First, it seemed a better way to tell family and friends what we were up to rather than duplicating emails, and it allowed me to display photos etc. of what was happening. Second, at the time Google had a limit of 999 postings to their blogs, so I knew this was only going to be an active blog for 3 years or so. Thirdly, I gave it the address of rvcalgary.blogspot.com because we so enjoy RVing, and we lived in Calgary.

Since then, I have discovered that lots of people read this, more of you than will confess on line it would seem, and so I have over time changed the tone and content. Secondly Google have changed the rules and the 999 limit is gone, and I have a limit of allocated memory which seems to go up over time. So I'm thinking this blog may go on for some time yet. Now we live in Edmonton not Calgary, but our interest in RVing remains.

So to that last point, I have two new products in the RVing world to show you. Niether one are in our financial future, but they are interesting products. The first is:

Country Coach Veranda

"When you have earned the right to treat yourself to a major motorcoach, the 2009 Veranda from Country Coach presents a unique and ingenious approach to RV living.

Rather than simply engineering a slide-out section, the Country Coach design engineers have created a self-contained recreation area – a Veranda deck that extends from the side of your vehicle, providing the ultimate addition to a luxury motorcoach, accessible through sliding glass doors that are a window on your world.

The Veranda series of 45’ coaches rides on a DynoMax chassis, and shares the 35-year tradition of quality construction with the full line of Country Coach models. Each of the 2009 Veranda models features quad slide-out sections, producing a luxury home on wheels to suit your distinctive style.

From the opulent interiors to the spacious exterior storage compartments, every aspect of the Veranda embodies the finest in materials and workmanship… but once you open the doors to the Veranda’s deck, all comparisons with conventional motorcoaches become academic – we have seen coaches with full wall slides, and coaches with large picture windows, but this is the first of a new breed that brings the upscale penthouse to the full-time RV environment." - RV Lifestyle

The second featured RV is:

Outback Loft by Keystone

"Imagine what fun it would be if you could climb above the crowd to enjoy all the action at your favourite event, and you will have tuned in to the same wavelength that inspired the engineers at Keystone to create what has to be the most interesting of all the trailers we have reviewed thus far in the 2009 model year.

As you can see from the photograph, the Outback loft features a unique “pop-up” second-storey, fully enclosed with canvas and screening similar to what you would expect to see in a fold-down camping trailer. Install this upper deck above the garage compartment of a toy hauler, and you have the ultimate sport utility RV… not only can you carry your toys to the track, but you can sit back and enjoy the action with a view unparalleled in the RV industry!

We checked out the first of the 2009 Outback Loft models at the fall RV shows, and were immediately impressed with the concept – for less than $30,000 you can put one of these units on the road, and really take your toy hauling RV experience up a notch!

First introduced as a mid-2008 model, the 2009 edition has been refined, with a spacious interior finished in Butter Rum Cream décor with Aubury Cherry cabinets. There’s a brighter look overall thanks to larger windows, and more storage space in the galley. The second storey provides 6’3” of interior headroom without reducing the ceiling height of the garage below the loft." - RV Lifesytle

So whether you are into hauling trailers or pitching tents this will be of interest to you, except for one person that I know of...my sister Cath!! That's right she thinks the definition of roughing it is having to get your own towel on the way to the pool! Right Sis?
