Aluminum Camper Forum

Yes, I am going to the land where steel rusts and wood rots. This is hard for me to believe myself. But, they don't make aluminum motorhomes. I am now the owner of a 2017 28-foot Coachmen Leprechaun Class C motorhome. My husband and I are getting out of towing, but the Camplite isn't going anywhere. It is now a resident of Florida, where it will stay in the summer while my husband and I are running around the USA in the Leprechaun. In the winter season, the Leprechaun will go into storage, while we use the Camplite which is parked next to our cabana at the site we purchased in an RV resort.

We need to get out of towing. I am at a loss for mechanical stuff, not even knowing what tools exist to fix whatever. I can cook up a storm, however. Since my husband had his brain surgery, he is experiencing eye-hand coordination problems, so fixing something on the RV is not working out. Going down a bumpy road usually means adjusting the sway bar, which is a point of contention. So - now we will be out and about in the motorhome. If anything needs fixing, we will just pay someone to do it for us and skip the hassle.

So, since I am keeping the Camplite, I maintain my aluminum cred, right? I still belong here, right?

The dealer is prepping the camper as I write this. It has few miles and it looks like it was never slept in, so what could the previous owners have done with it? I asked the salesman and he said he didn't know. Well, I am anxiously awaiting taking delivery. We stay at a campsite at the dealer Tuesday night so that if we have any questions on Wednesday, a technician will be available to help. Then I drive it back to our site in the resort and park it on the opposite side of my cabana from where the Camplite is. We can take our time getting it ready for the road.

Stay tuned!

congrats! enjoy your travels!

Way cool! Sounds like an overall great plan and yes, you keep your cred with us campers who have one made of the 13th element. Post some pics of the class C when you get a chance. 

Cool! Congratulations! Enjoy your travels.
