Congratulations to Carl & Jan on the purchase of their new Airstream Interstate!
I have a Prevost friend who I traveled to Alaska with last year, and he expressed an interest in down-sizing to a Class C or Class B motorhome as he gets older. He sighted maintenance costs and aggrevating problems as reasons for the change.
When you stop and think about it from a replacement point of view (selling the big motorcoach and replacing it with a smaller one) it might have some merits. I am not ready to give up my Newell yet because I love the comfort and the space that the slides provide. And I'm not that old; YET!
But when I am ready to down-size this looks pretty good!
Another thought is cost: I'll bet this Airstream is less costly to maintain than a Newell. Especially if it is purchased brand NEW! Also the fuel cost is attractive when compared to a Newell getting 5.5 to 7.5 mpg.
I wonder how the Airstream will hold its value in the market place?
Has anyone ever owned a Class B?
