For spending that much money, I would look at a Rialta.  Almost a real RV.  I
got a price of $42K on one fully loaded including roof A/C and generator.
 Included 13" color tv, batroom with shower and hot water, sleeps 4 or seats
8.  As an RV it can be financed for 15 years and the interest is tax
deductible as a second home.  Find a dealer that has one and check it out.
 Of course for this money you can almost get a full size RV. But the Rialta
is still practical to drive daily if needed. Although I love the current FUN
BUS, I wouldn't mind owning one of these.
Saving my pennies,
Dennis.
