Everything is a compromise, except motor homing is not.  It is taking the
house with you, no compromise at all.  mcneely

I agree Dave.
I saw a great cartoon once.
A guy is inside a huge motorhome watching a sunset on TV.
Outside is the most amazing sunset you could imagine.
The illusion of more comfort sometimes pulls me, however, I am aware
that it is a illusion and would not provide me with what I'm looking for.
I don't judge motorhome travel I simply meant it would not work for me.
I have really considered getting something bigger but I just can't see me
in it.
When my Dad died 11 years ago he left us a bigger motorhome.
We drove it around the block and found we could not see ourselves lugging
it around.
We sold it and bought the westy.
At the last VW campout I met a nice couple and their two daughters camping
in  a westy. She said that a year ago they were camping in their 20 ft
trailer.
They found the girls stayed in the unit and watched TV.
This was not the experience they wanted to give their children so they
bought
a westy.
