Hello,
Nice to have found this forum.
Goldilocks Iris and the three RVs …
In 2014 Iris fell in love with a 1974 Airstream 26’ Overlander. The worst scenario case of resurrecting it was cheaper than a new plain white box, so the retired stationary engineer in me gladly obliged. Back then we had a diesel Super Duty to drag it with. Sadly, Iris wasn’t thrilled about the hugeness of it all, and wasn’t fond of towing either.
So we sold both, got a diesel Canyon and a 14’ hotel room on wheels. Oops, too small … and still not fond of towing.
How about something self propelled?
After looking at perhaps countless potential candidates … Class As, Bs, Cs, B+ … we recently stumbled into BT Cruisers. We like the 5210, but like the 5230 even more.
Iris recently decided to join me in retirement, so perhaps soon.
