With the price of fuel these days, we've been thinkin about goin back to a 5er. The Dodge got 14-16 mpg towing, still have the truck and its paid off. The MH is worth about whats owed and gets 6.5-8 mpg

For 30 years, I've only owned a class A coach. You know this will be a biased view. Your fuel costs are double for the coach. Look at the miles per year you drive and turn that into a $ figure. The bottom line is, is that much money worth doing what you are thinking about? All other things being equal, for me, the answer has always been no.

On the lighter side, with a coach, you can always stay at one of those high class motor coach only resorts.

Of course you can only stay in one of those for 6½ more years... then your motorhome will be considered to old and ugly

I've had similar thoughts, however with the economy the way it is what makes you think you can get rid of the motorhome? I just left the FMCA convention in St. Paul and spoke with a lot of motorhome dealers and almost all of them said they were not taking any trades. Of the one that said they would, Lazyday's, the price one could get for their trade would be pretty low.

The dealer that I bought it from doesnt think it will be a problem, but that reamins to be seen. We will be taking the MoHo on our 3,500 mile vacation in September as planned, and will maybe explore our options when we return. As I've said we will see.
