Title: New RV
Post by: Wildcat on September 22, 2013, 05:24:20 AM
Due to a few reasons, the most important being the need to down size so that I do not require big rig sites, I traded my truck and 39 foot fifth wheel RV for a new Allegro 33 foot motor home and a new car to go behind it. Had to give up some luxury, living space, and storage space but I think overall it will work out better. Much better ride to destinations.

I could have sworn that the salesman said there was an autopilot!

I will eventually get the pics. Been raining all since I got them to the house. In the mean time is the Allegro Open Road 31SA and a Honda Fit Sport for those of you willing to google. Since the MH is mostly black and tan and the Honda is solid black they look like they were made for each other.

Gonna miss the diesel. Perhaps if my wife ever retires we will swap for a diesel and full time it for awhile. Too much money for a diesel that will sit at home a lot or just take short local trips.

Sonny will probably think I am crazy for getting rid of the 5th wheel. Got to admit, it was nice.

I feel your pain, Wildcat.  I would find it very difficult to give up the diesel.  There is just something about the clatter of a diesel that draws me in.

Finally got a chance to snap a couple of photos. Although it is a 31SA, the actual external length is a little over 33 feet. Tiny compared with the 5th wheel I traded in on it.

Very nice setup you have Wildcat!  Perfect, all the way down to the concrete pad you have for your new baby - there is something quite satisfying to have everything fit perfectly, like the pieces of a puzzle  ;)

Congrats! Very nice. Looks like you have plenty of storage for the smoker, and grill  ;D We're happy with our little 26 ft travel trailer right now, but when retirement comes.....

Very Nice!
Sometimes, ya just gotta upgrade  ;)

They had to replace my metal plate with a plastic one. Every time Catherine would rev up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.

Thanks folks. It is a nice rig, but actually it is a downgrade from the 5th wheel. Less luxury, less storage, went down to a queen size bed, and shorter in overall length. My fifth wheel was 39 feet. This one is 33 feet. Then you have to subtract about 3 or 4 feet for the driving compartment and you will have the living space. Good thing is it is easier to set up, I can maneuver in tighter spaces, it has an onboard generator, and larger storage tanks for fresh and waste water. The 5th was simply too big for many state parks.

Love to see some Steve. When you told me about it in your pm I looked up the company on the web and got a general idea, but would rather see the actual rv.

;D Any place it wants to.  ;D I have plenty of room for it.

We have only used the rig for 1 short weekend so far and plan to go visit my daughter this next weekend. She lives about 3.5 hours from us. The "perfect" distance. ;)
