Sweet Flames. Yes, they came off quick.
I flew out to Charlotte to purchase a used sportsmobile. Months of research and shopping were finally over – the choice was a used 2006 model Sportsmobile on the Mercedes van chassis. I won’t go into details here on the RV, rather I will blog about it separately here (href). The biggest decision was 4x4 vs 2wd. We got a used one because the older model got better gas mileage and could take any type of diesel. The newer ones can only take Ultra low sulphurs diesel (not bio diesel or diesel south of the border).
We went with 2wd for the better fuel economy and initial up front cost. I also become more comfortable w/ this particular vehicle’s ability in snow/ice and this particular trip is geared towards seeing the world, not necessarily an off road trip. Its hard to have an RV that will do both well. I would like to do a long distance off road RV trip one day, but not this one and not this vehicle.
