Moving to a New Motorhome

From time to time all of us get the itch to change rigs. Sometimes it's because we need too and other times it's because we just want a change. A lot goes into the decision making process and with the cost of RVs nowdays, it should be a carefully made decision.

Larry and Valerie Ellert have been full timers for 14 months. Previously they owned a truck camper and three 5th wheels. The first year they purchased a 2003 39 foot Damon Escaper motorhome to begin their full time RV adventure. However after a year of full timing they decided they needed more coach, so they shopped around and purchased a new 2007 40 foot Tiffin Phaeton motorhome at LaMesa RV in Tucson, Arizona.Valerie wanted more cabinet space and especially a king-size bed.

Being a great cook, she also wanted a four door refrigerator and more kitchen space. This nifty drawer cabinet not only contains drawers but also pulls out to reveal a large kitchen work space. She also wanted tile instead of carpet.His and her lavatories (sinks for those who prefere the Latin term).

They both wanted a nice desk and comfortable desk chair. These items were lacking in their Escaper and that's why they switched to their new Tiffin Phaeton motorhome.This coach has a Caterpillar 350 horse power diesel pusher with a six speed Allison transmission built on a Freightliner chassis. Both Larry and Valerie are happy with their new motorhome and look forward to many years of full-time RVing adventure!
