Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I currently have a 36' Winnebago class A, and want to downsize to less than 30 feet. My dad passed away recently and I'll be traveling more and will need to tow an approximately 20-24 enclosed trailer containing my Spyder and business material.
1. Nearly any problem can be solved by the application of sufficient cash. How much are you willing to spend to put out four pads for jacks instead of putting out no more than four 2 x 6 planks under the tires?
2. Try to find a similar unit at PPL. Since PPL is a volume consignment place, their prices are generally at the low end of the spectrum so that they can move more units. Also remember that the value of a thing is what a willing seller and a willing buyer agree it is. If it passes your inspection you can make an offer and see what happens.
3. There could be several reasons why they don't offer these anymore. Maybe they weren't selling enough to make it worth their while. Maybe Ford decided that they no longer wanted to work with them (or they no longer wanted to work with Ford), and no other company was willing to work with them, either. Maybe new regulations made it impractical to continue this line.
Is there an owners' forum for this company? If so, join it and ask questions there. The people on a brand-specific forum generally like their rigs, and know them well. They can answer your questions better than we can.
Since your Dad only recently passed and you have expressed no need to change RVs other than a desire for a shorter unit, I suggest waiting a while. I always counsel my clients to make no major moves after a death for six months minimum and preferably a year.
