Some thoughts to help us narrow down our RV choices...

Charles and I have been talking further about our RV that we want to purchase. We love the '08 Destination, and still think it's gorgeous and fits all our needs. However, we're going to look at smaller things too! Ultimately, the decreased gas mileage and increased driving and parking difficulty isn't necessarily worth it for what we'd get versus a smaller rig.

So, we've been talking about our criteria in advance of the RV Show being held at the Fairplex in Pomona next month.

Some thoughts:

• Queen sized bed is a high priority.
  
• I have a pet peeve about showers that you step out of into the main hallway. Shower needs to open into bathroom, bedroom, or wardrobe area for when we have company.
• Bedroom needs to be separated from the main cabin, preferably by a sliding door, but accordion door is acceptable.
• Bedroom access should preferably not be cut off if someone's in the bathroom, especially if the bathroom contains the shower.
• We must have a backup cam. (But we won't discount the possibility of getting it after-market.)
• We want to be able to sleep four or five for trips. We don't need another full time bed (like a cab-over in a class C), just the ability to convert couches/dinettes to beds.
• We need a place for our servers, possibly converting a bunk bed space.
• We need to look into how to properly mount computers for the vibrations of the road.
• We need enough tank space in water and holding tanks to go several days between stops with hookups. (Parking in someone's driveway or on the street rather than an RV park are not entirely out of the picture at this time.)

Will add to this later if we think of anything else!
