Jimmy, that is a little over a $10k a year in depreciation which is actually not all that bad. Imagine a new owner easily giving up over 100k a year for the same amount of time and use that you enjoyed. Divide that over 12 months and you own the coach whether or not its sits, rolls down the road or has a mortgage at only $800-$1000.00 a month. Not too shabby to claim that kind of luxury. Of course if it's paid for it is a whole lot better.

I have to believe Clint saying; to hell with loosing anymore equity buying another to take a beatin' on, it's cheaper to remodel it the way you like it.

We can also talk on the slide option in another thread if someone wants to. We can discuss some possible ways to achieve slides and the cost differences.

Appreciating what you have is the secret to a happier life. Any time I begin to lust after a bigger coach I just remind myself that my parents had a terrific time camping out of a van with a platform bed in the back and no curtains. Then when I look at the relative luxury of my vintage 35 footer I am in awe of what I have in comparison.

I'm not sure if any others have noticed, but is sure seems like some of the Newell Classic's are bringing darn near the same money as the eary 2000 series? I have spoken to a few owners that have sold theres. Does anyone feel a shift in the market lately?

I've noticed it goes one of two ways, either way over priced or priced right at or under market value. Those ones of course are gone quick and the rest well they're still for sale.

You guys are right, the classics are kind of drying up for some reason. I'm wondering maybe if it could be the anti-squish effect. Most are owned free against any kind of leans and many folks are not willing to give them away and just decide to keep them. I know a couple of owners who keeping there classic's around even though they bought a newer coach.

There are those guys that decided to garage their muscle cars after replacing them once upon a time and now just take them out for a chill fest.

There are several advantages to owning them just like with bus conversions. Look at the cost of registration and insurance on a classic vs. a newer coach. It's huge in most states. The same goes for taxes and many repairs. In some states after a certain age you can get permanent plates on them for a small one-time fee.

So, imagine you owned one that was completely gone through, had updated equipment and so on....., ownership from the point on as long as you were satisfied with what you had, would be extremely reasonable, leaving a lot of change left to go travel in the off season.

Maybe we should have started a thread called the Anti-Squish Effect?
