Need some air ride seats
Some time the best place to start is with a class C. The driveline
mechanicals are avaliable at pepboys and the RV side is readily found at Campingworld. I see great deals on C's for less than $7,500. That may be a good place for you to learn what you want when you eventually buy a Coach. You started off wanting to make major renovations wich is a common cry but an ill advised move. When you get a camper, run it for a while and learn your needs prior to any change. Its way cool that you plan to facilitate your wifes travel enjoyment that her condition would limit without the use of an RV. One last word of advice: When a dealer calls him self BigBob, HappyHarry or the like any surprise you find is kinda your fault for not looking past his big nose and floppy shoes at the bus. Good luck,Hope you come back in a few years GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomoland --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Cris Wiedaman" > > Hi Gregory, > Thanks for this advice. I will have to use it.
