Dadgummit!! It's happening!
The upgrade fever has hit.
Just got our nice little set up less than 2 months ago. 2007 Tahoe with nice 5.3 engine/ Brand spanking new Shamrock hybrid 21dk.
Annnnnnnnnnnd NOW I am thinking of upgrading! OMG I didnt believe all of you . But it is happening. 
I love our set up but am thinking of how nice a ecoboost could pull that baby through the mountains.. Or for that matter maybe I should just skip right up to the 30 class c with a toad,, or for that matter maybe I should just go sell my house and by a 40 ft Class A!!
Thank goodness that is where it has to stop. They don't make anything bigger do they? I hope not!

Same thing happened to us. It will gnaw away at you until you can't take the strain any longer and just do it.

Let's do an analysis.
What do you want to do with the RV?
How long will your trips be?
How many on your trips?
Pets?
Still working or retired?

I know the feeling. I bought my first camper 1 year ago on Memorial Day weekend. Just shy of the 1 year anniversary, I bought a bigger one. Now my tow vehicle is near its limits and I am dreaming of an F-250 supercrew diesel.  But it will remain a dream for now.

Here's the crunch, you think you're finished then you realize that you enjoyed the smaller unit, used it more and went places the big one can't go and start the journey back down. It's called downsizing.

thank goodness, I thought it was just me !
wife and I got a new 27RKSS last November, we've had it out 3-4 times camping so far and love it, but I find myself looking at floorplans just to keep up with current trends, at least that's what I try to tell myself. They've got a new for 2014 27RLIS model that I love, in the Hemisphere cause I want smooth sides on the next one, but no way can I talk my wife into just one more foot dangit...

I guess I'm the odd ball.
I've had this trailer since July 2008. This is our first RV. Ordered exactly what we wanted. Still happy with it, even though it's showing some age. Of course I got the biggest thing the truck would pull to begin with.
We were happy with it. Never looked at another RV. Then we went to the RV show and came home even happier. Don't like the new ones, except for the black trim around the windows. Don't like the interior colors, floor plans. Too heavy, too expensive. Glad I got into RVing when I did.
