OH, can't give you a better report on the show, because once we got to the Excels, well we NEVER made it to any other RV's.

Hiller and Kitty, Those Excels do make you drool don't they? Same with the Cameo, DRV, NuWa, and New Horizons. Call me cheap, but even with our plans to full time for a year we can't justify the cost. The local dealer offered us a Cameo 31something for $62K before he even knew we had a trade. But...till you buy a dually, then the camper, $$$$$$$$$$$. The Tweety starts looking pretty darn good!

Hi All,

The show did seem smaller this year. With a slight bent towards large 5th Wheels.

It was nice to meet Kitty and Gary and talk Sunlines, as were are totally new to these trailers.

While Kitty and Gary were lost in the Excel 5ers, I looked for the Airstreams which have been there in past years. I didn't see any at the show, which was dissapointing. I was able to check out the Lance trailers, which I had been wanting to see.

If you are interested in Excel 5th wheels the NuWa Industries web site has several used Excel units for sale. I really liked the Windslow they had at the show but its to pricey for me.

Rich,

To be interested in the Excel is one thing, to justify the cost of one is another thing. "IF" we were able to spend more time using the rig, then cost might not be such a big issue. But, for weekends and 2-3 weeks vacation a year we can't justify the cost of an Excel at this time. But, they will remain at the "top" of our "Replacement List". I think it would be a fantastic Sunline replacement when the time comes.

We also liked the rear living room Winslow. But, I have to admit Gary & I both liked the Excel Limited they had there. That rear living room with the fireplace/entertainment center was fantastic. The kitchen was wonderful, and no matter what a person was doing in the kitchen, it would not interfere with living room activities. But, honestly, I don't need that much kitchen, as Gary & I are very "plain" eaters. We don't do many meals that need a lot of prep time or space.

Gary would always have to be going around emptying cabinets behind me to "keep the weight down"
