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.

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.

Thanks Dub, we have actually already been there and looked at several coaches. They did have a nice Super C and we're thinking of purchasing it.
Those Foretravel coaches are nice and the older ones were still a lot of $.
Thanks for the feed back !

The Marathon Coach I posted retails for around $2.2M.

I was thinking around 60 to 100 grand. Anywhere from 27 to 30 ft. Long.

I showed those pictures to my wife and she said she would be afraid to drive around in that...
Could you imagine wrecking that thing...
I calculated my payments on it... came to
20 years at $14,750 a month. With every penny I own down.
Ya I can afford that !!
Not a problem!
