Dear So and So

[Pax]

Helene, my folks had RVs my entire life and they also always had dogs, but they were kept so clean. This was an older woman and she just seems to no longer see dog hair. She invited us into her home for dinner while we were there, I was wearing navy blue slacks that looked beige by the time I left. Just don't understand not cleaning, or if you're not capable having someone else do it. I still limp horribly from my surgery and don't get around really well, but I'm going to have to clean this thing now or pay someone to do it, so not fair.

That sux, Pax. So sorry! It's definitely something to ask when purchasing anything. Since we're thinking of a motorhome, I hope we can find a smoke- and pet-free unit if/when the time comes to buy. Yes, we have a dog, but I don't want to have to clean up someone else's dog hair who may not have been so diligent. I am mildly allergic to other people's dogs and very allergic to cats, so I feel your pain!

[Pax]

Thanks, Emily. We've been home a couple of days and Marys allergies are still off the charts. Very frustrating transaction.

Honestly, if I were you I'd buy from a reputable dealer. It costs a bit more but a reputable dealer will warranty the systems for a short time so you won't roll down the road and find out you have no functioning generator.

Ugh Pax. That stinks - literally and figuratively! Hope you can get it cleaned without too much expense and/or pain.

The closest Roadtrek dealer is going to detail it inside and out for $400. Well worth the money not to have asthma attacks during the process.

[Crankin]

That is great, Pax. Asthma attacks should not be part of the package.

I've had dogs in the past, I hate to think I was ever that immune to floating clouds of dogs hair and funk. We'll be really glad to get it back from the detailer and start making it ours!

Excellent! And I totally agree about buying from a dealership vs. an individual. We are looking at Phoenix Cruisers (online), very well-made B+ units. We saw and even drove one in Tucson last year, but it was one size smaller than what we want. Still, we got to see the finishes and liked it very much. But who knows, we've been talking about and researching RVs for years now and can never seem to pull the trigger. It may not be meant to be for us, or the timing may have never been quite right. We shall see.

Hope you can enjoy your new baby once the allergens are GONE!

We were exactly the same way, been thinking/planning/considering one for 20 years, so imagine the conversations as we rolled home from Texas! Did we make a mistake, holy crap we should just sell it, maybe it won't be so bad once we get it cleaned up...

I worked on it for two hours today just cleaning windows, putting on the plates and taking her stickers off the tire cover so we can add our own. Each day we seem to like it a little more.
