So the wife and I have narrowed our search down to a Coachman Clipper 17bhs. Its as big as will fit in our driveway, and it will sleep all 5 of us. Now comes the search for a good deal. When getting an insurance quote, our Stare Farm guy sad the MSRP is just over $20k, but the local RV dealer wants $26k... Im understand RVs are tough to get right now, but $6K over is crazy!

I didn't think they were that tough to get $6k bump. I would say "insurance says $20k and I'm not paying gap, so $20k is it".

This is my only hope...

While I do agree with JBP that climate migration is real recent growth trends in 406 suggest pandemic has increased worker mobility as working remotely is so common place now.

Too BLM/fear of urban unrest seems to be a driving factor for a not insignificant number of (unfortunately conservative) recent MT newcomers.

I'd much prefer the dirt bag hippies...

We really like the wolf pup, but when you put a take measure on the 16’ wolf pup and the 17’ coachman. The wolf pup is almost a foot longer. I need to put a tape measure on the Jayco...

If they haven't bolted 3 more fuel tanks to it I'd like to know how you make it between gas stations.

I don't know but last year I removed tens of thousands of baked on bug splats in just a few minutes with wet dryer sheets and the scrubber side of a windshield squeegee and running water. Wet the surfaces, rub with the dryer sheet wait a few minutes and they come right off with light scrubbing. Hose off to finish

Well after some careful measuring and calculating our actual driveway size, we pulled the trigger on a 2021 Wolfpup 16BHS yesterday. We pick it up on Monday. Wife and Kids are super excited, and I now have more questions that I did before...
