This RVer uses more horsepower than most

RVer and prize winning Arabian horse trainer Keith Krichke loves his Renegade RV. These high end class C RVs pack a lot of comfort and haul a lot of horses. His 51 foot horse trailer makes this rig longer than most commercial rigs on the road today. He doesn’t need a commercial license to drive it and it works out great for his horse business. His wife and two kids are much more comfortable on the long rides from their farm in Vicksburg, Michigan to the ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona.

His trailer carries up to eight horses to shows all over the country. These shows are at fairgrounds where there are usually RV hook-ups. At the end of a busy day of training demonstrations, showing, grooming and general horse maintenance, he can relax with his family in the comfort of a home away from home.Horse enthusiasts often use the combination horse trailer/RV for this purpose, but they don’t have the room of one of these Class C haulers. When it’s time to grill Keith opens one of his side compartments and rolls out his propane BBQ. He loves this rig and the level of comfort it provides while he’s working on the road.

RVers Having A Great Maiden Voyage In Big Jayco Class C

French Canadian Paul Emile Carrier is having a wonderful time touring the United States in his new Jayco RV. They left Levis, Quebec, Canada in September escaping what turned out to be a brutal winter. I met them while RVing in the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas. Two families (six people total) are touring in this Jayco Senica 36FS. Andre Michaud and his wife enjoy the large living room and the queen size over-cab bed. Two people sleep comfortably with their own TVs in this slide out containing two bunks. The Master bedroom also sports a queen size bed so there is no lack of sleeping comfort in this RV. The rig is powered by a Duramax 6.6 liter 330 horse power engine driving an allison transmission. Paul really likes the exhaust brake system and wouldn’t be without one because relying solely on the brakes is not a good idea with this much weight. Overall this is a good unit and the only thing I would do to improve it would be to beef up the front suspension. Andre tells me this rig is working nicely on their maiden voyage but they had more cupboard space on their 1994 Tioga 31 foot motorhome. This unit may be a little short on inside cupboard space but it does have semi-passthrough storage outside. Paul very much enjoys the power of this unit especially while towing their Chevy HHR. I’ve received a couple emails from them as they continue their journey through the south west and they’re having a great time exploring the country and that’s what RVing is all about.
