Hi, just thought we'd introduce ourselves. We just purchased a 2013 SV-294, we are picking it up in a couple of weeks. We looked around at several makes and models but unanimously agreed that this was our favourite one so we made it happen. The kids are excited to have their own "room". We are coming from a late 80's 34ft tri-axle Avion (similar to an Airstream) we liked it but it was dated and due to the weight I had to have a 2nd truck just to pull it. Can't wait for our maiden voyage!

It sure didn't feel like spring this morning, I flew to Texas this morning for a couple of weeks, hopefully spring makes an appearance by the time I get home.
I went from a parka to shorts and a t-shirt within 5 hours today.

Camping season can not come fast enough.
They are calling for 8 to 12 inches of snow over the next two days.

Man, that Avion was heavy if you needed 2 trucks to pull it.

She was a beast! Looking forward to towing under 10000lbs.
