we had one when I was a kid...it was a green beast.
I am extremely happy with it. On our first trip, we drove (from Denver) to Annapolis, Maryland -- spent a week -- drove to Pittsburg -- stayed a week with relatives -- drove to Chicago -- spent a week exploring Route 66 from St Louis back to Chicago -- drive home through Wisconsin. I was hooked. There is something really nice about sleeping in your own bed (queen size) every night. We then spent a week (or so) in each of Wyoming/Montana, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas. We are going to Wyoming for Thanksgiving (DD) and then heading out for a couple weeks in Oklahoma.
On the functionality part, I am even more pleased. We purchased the biggest model but it will go anywhere a car can -- well, I need 8'6" clearance (only had a problem once). And I mean I can park it anywhere a non-compact car can -- and even then...
It gets between 15 and 16 MPG but I can't complain really -- that 6 liter Chevrolet V-8 will take that 10,000 pound vehicle up to 60 in a heart beat. And even on the steepest mountain passes the cruise control holds steady.
Recommend it highly.
We looked at them as an option, but they are expensive and it sure seemed like they would be claustrophobic with two adults and two kids. Do you find the space tight? How well does the shower arrangement work when you need it?
