    Newbie with a dream

    Hi everyone! I don't have my RV yet, but I'm dreaming of a Coachmen Mirada 35ES. My love of motorhomes came from a trip with a friend for a few days in his minivan. Hopefully I will buy my dream and move there with my family for a full time living. I wish you all smooth roads!
