I ventured into one of these new Winnebago campers a few weeks back at the
dealer where I get my parts and I was shocked at the sticker price of only
$28,500 or there abouts.  It was in that price area, did not see any prices
around $38,000, as I expected to see.  There was only one window sticker, so
maybe that camper option sticker was missing.
I remember this thinking for a short second about the monthly payment for
this new camper.  It would not be all that bad.  Everything on the van would
work and you could keep it for life.  It seamed too cheap.

I could never sell my van, my guts would go with it.
