The alum bug! My wife and I started looking months ago. We studied and visited dealer after dealer and read EVERYTHING for sale on the internet - we narrowed our selection down to the 23' International CCD. We really liked the Paprika model and found one near our hometown - it is located in Columbus, OH. While there looking to buy last Saturday another couple were there from Washington (State) to pick up their new Bambi - best deal they could find. We wanted to put the Paprika (light) cushions in the dark cushioned CCD also on the lot because the darker cushioned CCD had awnings all around - an add on we really liked! We hauled the cushions back and forth to make sure we would be happy with the look - exactly right! As we were walking into the office to work our best deal, my wife suggested we take one more look at the Ocean Breeze (25'). All along we've fought the temptation to get something larger - we will stick with the 23'. One more look was all it took. We told the salesman we would go home and sleep on our decision. The next morning we called him and told him we were leaving for his office and he could start writing up the 25' Ocean Breeze. The add ons on the 25' increased the price significantly but we paid only for the add ons. Essentially we got the additional size at no additional cost. This is a good time to buy! CrawforGene, I suggest you go to the website of
www.caldwell.com - they have a number of '07 on the lot and discounted. As I mentioned, Nick, the salesman, had just sold one to a couple that drove from the State of Washington to pick it up. We are thrilled with our choice - unfortunately, now we have to wait for spring to go 'streamin. But, we'll visit it regularly. We miss it already and we really miss the constant travel and internet searches looking at ASs.
See you "on the road" some day...........
