Thanks for the comments. I will look into that part ownership, but am actively looking. I seem to rotate between a Newell, Beaver, and Barth. I like the interiors mostly. I seem to be looking at the longer rigs, 40+ and I am sure I don't need that much, but it seems they make them nicer if they are longer. A slide would help.

I remember some length problems in National parks with the GMC at 35 ft. If I were to get a 40' unit will I be asking for problems in getting into national, state and gov campgrounds. I like to dry camp at least half the time, and sit in a hot tub the other half of the time. So a KOA or such would have pull thru's and not a lenght issue.

Not a lot of barths for sale at this moment. Lots of Newels, Beavers and provosts in the 50K range.

Half the fun is looking.

Thanks

Tom

Don't forget about the flat spot problem on tires either. My brother has operated large equipment for many years and when they park big vehicles they put a 2 by 8 under the wheels and drive the vehicle up onto the boards. The tires are not in contact with the concrete and that seems to prevent flat spotting. Of course he also covers the wheels to prevent UV degradation.
