Hello people,

I have been lurking on this list for the last month or so.
My hubby and i bought a 78 tradewinds (25 feet) october 2002. We bought the first one we looked at. Having discussed buying an A/S for ages. This one appeared ok, not having anything to compare it to except the SOBs. We took it to Colorado in April and my husband lived in it until the end of October. (he came home in June and Again in August to get me and the cat). The three of us lived in it until the end of October. We pulled it to the grand canyon and then up through utah, across Idaho and west to Vancouver and then back east. We loved it. To me it was like having a big giant suitcase with everything we needed.
However the 78 had plastic insides. The plastic had become brittle and things broke. so we began thinking a little larger and newer.
After we got back I discovered this list.
And we found a 96 30 foot Excella 1000. It had everything we wanted. Well cared for and a better option than building a home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Oh yeah we got a hensley hitch for it. And pull it with a 2001 Dodge Ram Diesel.

And now here we are. Thanks for the info, humor and friendship you folks show. We will eventually post more. For now hello.
