Driving home on Monday from the Oregon Coast with sideways rain and 60 mph gusts we could barely tell our Bella was behind us, super towable and aerodynamic as she is.

We love the aluminum interior because if / when we get a few drops inside we know where to make a fix.

All in all she's a well-built beauty and loves to run.

Most appreciated, a new mattress that is more comfortable than my old bed at home.

Having had "pop ups " when that was all we could afford and a 30' SOB with slide that was not well constructed, we saw our first AS at a RV show. We enjoy towing it, sleeping in it, and the convenience of having a second home with us as we travel. Each trip is grins and giggles.

Beginning five years ownership, some 28 months on the road all over the country, nothing has quit working, nothing has broken or fell apart, no corrosion on or under it. We do simple routine maintenance, tow it with a half-ton truck, and couldn't be happier.

Most importantly we have our own little home, customized to us, wherever we travel.

I make no bones about the fact that my AS leaves a lot to be desired and lacks perceived value as to the price paid.

That said, I decided to turn it into a guest house and created a pad with 30 AMP service, a flagstone patio and a killer view as pictured here. This is the infamous Animas River and about two hundred yards down stream from where the three kayakers were pictured on the orange river.

Ours has had only one real issue--a blown GYM tyre. No apparent leaks. Did have to come up with better way to secure some of the rear desk drawers. Heavy braking in Phoenix tended to toss the drawer out of the desk. So now we have childproofing straps on them to solve that issue. Solar solved the battery issues until I can install a better 4 stage converter. An upgraded tankless water heater is IMHO a comfort item.

It sprouted ham radio antennas but all my vehicles tend to do that😄😄😄
