Well it got there today. Appears we are all affected by Katrina in some way or another. It never rains it pours, sorry about the pun.

brewer12345 said:tozzer, what kind of RV are you buying? How did you go about selecting it?
brewer12345 said:Heh, the Coast Guard said there are 7 oil rigs floating loose around the Gulf. We are screwed.
tozz said:brewmeister: I referred to the Navion elsewhere on the board, so I don't want to make too much of a thread detour. However, I wanted something small and mobile, not a large RV park beached whale. I had a VW camper as a teen, and wanted something along that theme, only more usable for a few weeks at a time. I had been looking at used Rialtas for years. However, as elegant as they may look, after renting one for a week I was a little bit disenchanted. With two people, you pretty much have to choreograph every move i.e. only one person up and about at a time. And the bathroom (internal slideout wet bath) was essentially unusable. Plus, even at only 5'9", I was always brushing my head against the ceiling liner.
So Skinny Winny fits the bill. It'll get up to 20mpg--the best out there today. It's also a good hedge: if the folks in the religion thread are right and armageddon is truly nigh, I can pack her up, strap a date on the roof, and head for the hills.

Can anyone tell me how to use the table builder? I tried for a while, but couldn't get it to work.
brewer12345 said:Cool! Is it big enough inside? Doable for two people and that's it, I assume. Still, pretty snazzy. I'm curious about what the price range is like if you wouldn't mind giving at least a rough idea (indulging my escapist fanasy). Can you boondock in it at all?
