    SD> My friend's parents sold their house, bought a Class A (bus) motorhome,

   Nice!    
      
    JA> It's just the two of us, and a decent one will still have temporary

    JA> so it would still be good for that too...   
      
    SD> For me, I like the trailer and tow vehicle so I can drop off the   
    SD> trailer and go explore.  A good motorhome is nice though since if   
    SD> you're not wanting to go exploring all over when you travel to

   Not a bad idea, but can't crawl in and sleep while the other is driving. :-)   
   Not safely or legally, anyway - LOL   
      
    SD> I'd find a way to get a radio in the trailer, of course.  Maybe a Yaesu   
    SD> FT-891 and a Yaesu ATAS-102 would be a good fit.   
      
   Well if we go Class C I'd just move one of our mobile rigs over to it I'm    
   sure. :-)   
      
    SD> Though, I have been thinking that if I'm going to spend that kind of   
    SD> money, I might get a 19' Scamp fifth-wheel trailer.  That way my cat   
    SD> would have somewhere to sleep while we're traveling. :D   
      
   We have TWO cats now - so yeah, that's not bad either...   
      
      
      
   ... Police station toilets stolen. Cops have nothing to go on.
