Everything depends on frame of mind and what type of experience you're looking for. We've done it both ways (37' 5th wheel and 25' Winnebago View J) and both have their advantages. Personally I love...

TVs are pretty inexpensive these days, why not just add a TV in the back so you can watch from the bed? Very comfortable. A 28" flatscreen fits in the available space and at that distance it's like...

The asking price is crazy high, and even $63k is out-of-sync with the market. If it's a dealer they've just marked it up sky-high to start the negotiations, and if it's a private party they have way...

I get about 15-16 (at 60-65 mph) in the flat in the east (no wind and flat) and about 14-15 in the west (where there is never no wind and it is never flat.) As to those who claim 16+ MPG in a View or...

The 211k also runs hot. You can add a coax output to the 211z (which barely gets warm) simply by adding an RF modulator, available at any Walmart for $10-20.

I find the interlocking plastic ones to be much more adaptable (not to mention much lighter) then wood planks. They are subject to breakage after a while but it's not really a problem.
