Congrats on the big move. This is something I dream about doing but realistically will have to work a few more years before it can happen.
Super C's seem to be a good choice if you want to pull any type of weight and I also like the looks of them.
Here's a picture of a friends 379 he built. Definitely gets a lot of attention.
Good luck on your new adventure.

Post up your potential itinerary when the time gets close and people will chime in with "you're coming thru my state on _____ date so stop here."

Choppy, I'm a retired trucker and for the past 20 years owned a trucking company that I sold in January. The wife and I also travel in a motor home. You should check out Motor Homes Of Texas in Nacogdoches. They keep a number of Foretravel Coach's on their lot that are built there in Naogdoches by Foretravel. Of course Foretravel has used coaches but their primary sales are new rigs. Nothing wrong with a new bus except the price which depreciates quickly.. MOT has a bigger inventory of used rigs and several of their people are past Foretravel employees so they know their busses. I'm no financial advisor but I feel better buying a high end bus like Foretravel used, after it has mostly depreciated out. Whatever you do buy a quality unit and have it inspected by an independent inspector. I can see it now, a good looking diesel pusher with a painted trailer to match with a Vette inside.Doesn't get much sweeter than that. Enjoy.

Those Foretravel coaches are nice and the older ones were still a lot of $.
Thanks for the feed back !
