I'm a new owner of a 2005 BT Cruiser 5290 and have joined the Club. I'm new to Rv'ing and haven't had it out of the driveway yet for a shakedown - we're looking forward to it but I've enjoyed trying to learn/correct things I've found wrong.

Folks talk about "investment." A RV and the associated costs are certaintly NOT to be considered an investment anymore than owning a boat! They don't appreciate in value. You purchase/use them for fun and that's it. You rarely ever recover the costs of ownership.

Also, it's important to allow companies to adjust to a down economy and hope for better company communications with time. Be patient and give surviving companies a chance to re-group and adjust. They will or be dead in the water.
