Looks like I'll be the smallest person there...and with the smallest recreational vehicle, too. Must be the lack of sunshine here or something...

Up north "medium".

Mikey, I would have thought by now you had gotten over RV ENVY. On the shirt size, I'll trade with you in a heartbeat.

Sonny, It's not envy as much as I don't have the cajones to drive something that big......yet...with a tow car added. I used to drive a real big water truck and dump truck (with dump trailer) in my late teens. What's happened?

I think I'm the guy some RV dealers drool about. I'll keep upsizing.

I'm getting pretty comfortable with my rig towing now. So, an upsize maybe near in the future...and longer trips.

But, your coach is really, really nice.

Mike

Mikey, you do know that I was trying to make a joke. You know RV ENVY like "P" envy, that sometimes guys get caught up in. Especially those of us surgery guys that have come to understand the term "shrinkage". LOL

An oh yeah! There have been a number of times when the size of my coach has made me drive more than a few miles out of my way because it could not negotiate the turn or the road. Not unlike the guys with larger units have encountered when told it just won't fit. But that is something I have sadly never experienced Another LOL

I've gotten in a couple tight spots myself, with the RV, towing. I'm about 45 feet long towing. Yes, many long detours sometimes to get where I'm going...

And yes, that was not lost on me either LOL. All my recreational vehicles are not as they should be...

All right Mike and Sonny. I'll help to ease the tensions between you guys and bring my pop-up, (if the old lady comes). Then Mike you will feel like your rig is really large, and Sonny can provide shelter for me. I'll pop it up under his canopy.

Two extra larges for Barb and I please Sonny. We may have to have them shipped back because of space in our "RV".

You got it GL. And thanks for updating me. I can't believe I left you off the list. I have gone back and edited the post/list so that it is current.

The two of us will take a Large and a medium.
Also i heard from B-B Fan he is coming too.

I now have water hookup and lines for 8 RVs. I am ready for the onslaught. So far I have only seen 3 rigs mentioned.

I will setup two EZ ups and a 10x20 shelter Also two tents for any brave souls who want to tent in the woods. With air mattresses of course.

Hey, any newbies lurking out there! Don't be shy! Come on over!

Send me an email and I'll give you the info.

Nice to hear from you GL.

Would be nice to see you again and the others I haven't met.

Hope to be there.

GL, I love pop-ups. I was thinking of a few before we got our motorhome. I still think of them...some even have AC:)

Mikey/Sonny:

On the RV front, we were happy to move from our tiny "Pink Cupcake" classic Shasta to our newer 21' travel trailer. Guess size is relative for sure. At 3,400 lbs loaded, its easy to tow, and no strain on the wife's truck. If money were no object, wouldn't mind a modest sized Class C with something small to tow behind. Trailer towing can cause some anxious moments.

Perhaps we could have a future even where everyone with an RV could hook up at some mutually agreed campground.

There's no doubt, Sonny's max-daddy coach is to be envied in a good way. It's truly a beauty inside and out, and enough gadgets to make a 747 pilot happy, lol.

Boys and their toys, yeah man.

Looking forward to the weekend. Do you have a hook-up for my Prius?
Posted 8/19/2011 12:46 PM (GMT -5)
Hey Paul,

So glad to hear your post. Was wondering where you were. The three musketeers will meet again !

Goodlife

A week from today, I will be able to give my final verdict to the event, and I am still hoping it will be a resounding "Yes".

Okay folks, we have gone to press and manufacture.

As of last update we now have 11 confirmed attendees, 1 pretty sure (Purgatory) and 4 lovely wives attending.

I have just a little wiggle room on the goodies, but if you want in on this you need to let me know quick. I have ordered a couple of extra, but since this is coming out of my mad money pocket, not a whole lot of extras. And I want to make sure to have the right sizes for any new additions.

So if you are on the fence about attending, now would be the time to step up. With the crowd that has committed, this is looking to be a heckuva good time. AND you have to know, if you ain't there to defend yourself, we will be sure to talk about you. LOL

Hey Sonny
I was just going over the list and noticed that Bayou Jackal asked for 4XL and 2XL You have it as 4XL and XL. Not sure if it makes a difference.

Hey Newbies, Don't be shy. it really is a lot of fun. Honest.
Jeff

I will send out a reminder later today. We are at T-1 month!
