Sorry to hear about that pontoon boat you got outbid on.

My wife and I are thinking of RVs as we speak. We went to a dealer last
week and looked at this one:

http://tinyurl.com/5lkdgl

Pretty nice layout and runs around $85K. It has a Mercedes 6cyl diesel
engine that supposedly gets around 20 mpg. It looked like it would be very
comfortable for two people.

But, $85K will buy a lot of plane tickets and motel rooms!

That's a beaut! Chrysler is making some damned nice vehicles lately,
the chassis will be fine!

The chassis is by Mercedes, as is the engine. It's the Mercedes 'Sprinter'
with a Dodge emblem on the front.

We disagree. If the engine and chassis were not made by Mercedes (the
*real* Mercedes), I wouldn't consider buying it.

"The deal created a new entity, DaimlerChrysler. However, the buyout failed
to produce the trans-Atlantic automotive powerhouse dealmakers had hoped
for, and DaimlerChrysler announced on 14 May 2007 that it would sell
Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management of New York, a private equity firm
that specializes in restructuring troubled companies, effectively unwinding
the original transaction.[2]"

The worry that Chrysler and Mercedes would become the same thing had many
Europeans thinking much less of Mercedes.

I will tell you that the quality of Chrysler products has come WAY up
in the last two years. They are making some damned fine vehicles once
again.

Hey! I jsut stumbled in here for a moment. John that's cool, but
you're right. 85K PLUS maintenance will buy lots of motel rooms with
good hot showers, swimming pools, continental breakfasts, etc. i think
they're being a bit optomistic about the economy, though. A 5.9
cummins in a much lighter dodge PU that is also much more streamlined
(like a hog) gets about 18 +/- and you don't have to find a lot to
park the thing in. possible $5.00 diesel?

What the heck, John. SPEND YOUR KIDS INHEIRATANCE!

LOL!

Oh yeah.. something else to consider. When you're done with the motel
and rent car, you're done.

If you find you don't like the motorhome, you sell it and take a hugh
loss.

Eh, spend it anyhow... LOL!
