2014 Chicago RV Show

Postby IrishIroamed » Sun Jan 26, 2014 11:57 am

If anyone is heading up, down or over to the RV show, would love a mini-gtg. No matter what rig you may have or how often your RV, you've got 100% more experience than I have. Since I'm always looking for a roaming home on my own, would love to learn from what you look for in a rig (any type). Maybe lunch or dinner too (?). I'm definitely going on Friday, and probably Saturday also, to see what I may have missed the day before or to look/see some a second time.

Maybe the weather in Chiberia :?: will be cooperative that weekend!

Hope you find a real steal of an RV to take home.
I accidentally stumbled into mine at an RV show so know it can happen.

Sarah & Vickie - I wish I could buy one (C class) this year, but that may still be a few years away. But I have been thinking about a little TT to get my feet wet, so maybe!

I've always been intrigued by those little teardrops. They're just so darn cute!
Any day spent in the company of my animals is a good day.

Got to the RV show yesterday (Friday), spent 4 1/2 hrs just in one section :shock: Since recent brain spurts have been sending me down the truck / TT path, I actually found one I like. New model this year (Keystone Summerland 2020QB) and has almost everthing I've been looking for in C class. Not dark at all because of the huge windows in the back. Show price $13,900. hmmm - maybe next week when I'm planning on Saturday looking at trading in for a pick-em-up truck, this could happen lol

If I were retiring today, I'd start with this small C class - smallest one I've seen with an island bed (Four Winds 26A)

I can dream can't I :D

That's the layout I would like to get in an 18 footer. Besure to get a truck that can handle the weight of it loaded.

I like the floor plan of the motorhome. My previous motorhome had a dinette and sofa. The dinettes are not comfortable to sit at for a long time so I would want a sofa. I would like to have the room of a big Class A but when I think about having to drive and park one will probably stay with a smaller Class C.
