http://www.rvinteractive.com/rvguys/index.html I was thinking on doing this myself but this guy is hooked up.
Never tell a photographer that he must have a great camera! He would say that he has a great eye! Interesting web site. What I found really interesting is that he has a 40 foot motorhome, 4 or 5 computers and a really nice satellite system, but thinks health insurance is too expensive so he doesn't have any! Hope he stays out of the hospital!
Hey RLM, Did you happen to see all of the maintenance and Warranty work he's had to do on his Alfa? Rebuilt the tranny after 3K miles?! You ever see anything like that?

I sent an email to the guy. He's multi-talented and aside from the rigs, we have a lot in common to include photography. But I do have health insurance. I personally think that the Alfa is the best full time coach available for the price. It has more storage than most people have stuff for. The new ones have a two hallway design that is super. Even my 04 has some nice features that other newer rigs don't. A year or so ago, I had thoughts of trading and I spent a week looking and researching hundreds at a major FL RV show. We did not find a single one that was better for what we need. I have not had any powertrain issues, but you can't blame Alfa for those. They are Allison and Cummings issues. Nonetheless, I too wouldn't buy another Alfa just because of the other nicknoid maintenance issues I have had to deal with. And since it is made in California, there are some state mandated features on it that drive me crazy. Also, if I every run across the moron who designed the Kingdome sat antenna to be recessed into the roof and on the back of the rig, I'll slug him!!
