Part of the problem is that the majority of people want big with all the extras but they don't want to pay the big bucks, so manufactures have to cheap out of stuff. Over here, the motorhome/vans are well built and the price is really reasonable as there isn't a huge markup between the manufacturer and the dealer, also don't lose their value so fast even after 5 or 10 years because they are so well made. The company Leisure Travel Vans in Manitoba, Canada has come out with a more European like Class B van but it is also twice the price of what we paid for Max here in Germany.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27082000810890738402021-06-23T02:16:41.971-04:002021-06-23T02:16:41.971-04:00I like the layout of your of Rig!

We know that it can be done but it just isn't what we want to do but who knows we may change our minds when the time comes to head back over to North America but we doubt it. When that time comes what we would like to do is buy an old beat up Class B van that is mechanically sound and then drive it down to the tip of South America.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51626414441671735692021-06-23T01:52:58.944-04:002021-06-23T01:52:58.944-04:00The cassette toilet is good but it fills up a lot ...The cassette toilet is good but it fills up a lot faster than Sherman's black tank did!<br /><br />We are really enjoying the living space in Max.

Certainly a lot of thought went into making this motorhome and it isn't just this model, it includes pretty much all European made motorhomes and the neat thing is that they lose very little of their value even after a number of years and we think that is because they are so well made.<br /><br />The picture doesn't really show the true color of the throw blankets, they are a true red color, no orange at all but yes, they add a nice pop of color. And you are correct about the cords but rather than exchanging seats, Kevin loves sitting there in the "captain's" chair we could just switch computers, lol. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-73617880790210160352021-06-23T01:35:19.617-04:002021-06-23T01:35:19.617-04:00Thank you Garth, we are loving Max too and all his...Thank you Garth, we are loving Max too and all his neat little features and the big ones too! :-)<br /><br />Yes, the locks on the cupboard doors are good and strong and the same with the kitchen cabinet drawers and cupboards, we really can't see them accidentally opening on us as we are driving down the road but I guess we will see if that is the case shortly. The window screens and shades are fantastic, such thought went into them, we just have to remember to be careful opening and closing them though. And, of course we knew that you would love the idea of the drop down bed, I wonder why?! lol.
