    HIDDEN GEMS

    Here are a few places that fit your request we have been to that no one else has mentioned. Arizona - Meteor Crater - close to Winslow AZ. It is privately owned and the largest meteor crater in the US. There is a very nice RV Park close to it. Page AZ-UT border - and Glen Canyon Dam area. There is a very nice RV Park inside the Glenn Canyon recreational area. Take a boat trip on the lake. This is a beautiful area and a lovely drive up RT 89 from Flagstaff AZ. Monument Valley - Navaho Nation. Stay at Gouldings RV Park inside this area. We love Bryce Canyon and staying at Ruby's RV Park next to Bryce. Even in the middle of summer a good place to stay as it is at 8,000 ft.
  2. Yup. Some things goes for diesels in motorhomes. We have a 12 liter Caterpillar diesel and we get about 7-8mpg. Several of our RV friends have smaller lighter rigs with smaller motors. They get about the same mpg as we do. One of our friends has a much smaller class A with a 5.9 and that gets a bit better mpg. We have one friend who has a 40' (ours is 42') and the motor is too small. His miles per gallon are the same as ours and he overheats on long uphills. You have to work smaller motors so hard they don't save fuel.
  3. We have had our 2002 Country Coach Affinity just over ten years now. We are the second owners. I spent months researching all the different types of Class A coaches when buying the last time, and looked at and drove a bunch of them. The first time I drove this coach it just felt super stable and secure on the road. We used to look at other coaches a lot at RV shows and some of the big rallies a couple years into owning this one, but just stopped doing that is we just never see other coaches we like better than ours. Unlike some of the other posters on this thread I can't say we have never had anything but regular maintenance. The previous owned did not fix much and there were all kinds of bugs it took me about three years to work out. Now she just seems to go along with a little something here and there. This is a really solid built coach. The insulation is very good and so when it is warm or cold outside or noisy not so much filters into it. Country Coach "closed" back in 2010, but not too long after that one of the brothers opened up the same factory again. Then Winnebago bought CC. But we have never had any issues getting parts of service for her. I have driven this coach about 65000 miles in the last ten years. Three times back to Ohio from California, and to most all of the National Parks out west. I keep thinking I should sell her and downsize due to the coach's and my advancing age, but seems like I always change my mind as with our CC I know what I have and decide she is just part of the family. Many of my wife's best times together in our long marriage have been in this rig so I would guess she will be sticking around for a while. In my opinion the reason we still like this coach so much is that the floor plan is right for the two of us and our Airedale, plus she has good build quality. Very little wears out and nothing looks shoddy. If for some reason our coach were to disappear this week I would just go out and find another one like her. But likely I would not be able to find the same exterior colors and interior.
