Very cool, glad to see you got a Winnebago (or how ever you spell that). My Grandparents live in th town where they build them. I have doen the tour of the plant, and its a very nice operation.

It's cooler than what it's pulling... j/k. It is cool, though! Can you use the roof space for lounging?

Seriously, JP must build his own website/parts/enthusiast empire, so JP can refer to JP's self in JP's third person.

"Check out JP's new __________!"

I'm saying "JP" over and over again in my head in the manner of "Bob Dole" and it's cool. JP is wicked overtired this morning and this is going to be JP's "thing" today, to the annoyance of everyone within earshot, no doubt.

The miniwini, how does it do going over the Grapevine?

Tim Hancock 08-24-2007 06:04 AM

As handy as those must be for attending various events..... like minivans pontoonboats and station wagons, I will never own one :D:D

Congrats none the less on the acquisition of a new "toy"! :D:D

Jims5543 08-24-2007 06:45 AM

Who is Wayne and why do you keep talking about him?

Type911 08-24-2007 06:52 AM

Hope you do your neighbors a favor & park that thing out of view.
That is a courtesy that is lost on my ********* neigbor w/ a motorhome 2x the size of yours.

My neighbors, who are not *********s, parked their Winnie right in front, across from my house and opposite my driveway. Not a pleasant site. As I said, they are nice, not *********s. So after about the first 2 weeks of their ownership and poor choice of parking, I saw Joe out there with the Winnie. I went out to admire it with him. Then I asked, "So, where do you plan on parking it?" (He has 1/2-acre.) Next day, it was on a flat spot behind his house.

So Wayne, where do you plan on parking it?

scottmandue 08-24-2007 07:06 AM

Nice, I rented something very much like that in Hawaii years ago.

Wayne, were you tracking the Boxster?

TSNAPCRACKLEPOP 08-24-2007 08:11 AM

Wow!! What a beautiful tandem axle trailer!!:cool:

FastCarFan 08-24-2007 08:16 AM

Can we expect a "101 Projects for your Motorhome" book soon?

MattAlpha 08-24-2007 10:43 AM

Wayne,

I don't suppose you bought that at one of the auctions. So did you pick it up in Gilroy or in between LA and Monterey?

Glad you're getting good use out of it so far,
Matt

Emission 08-24-2007 01:08 PM

Wayne,

I passed you on the way home:

Looking back, my question if it was "someone who frequents Pelican" is quite funny!

Think of the money you'll save on motels. Nice rig.

In Russia, I believe that model of winnebago is called the "dascha" - little joke.

BTW, Wayne, if you were pulling an GT3 RS in an enclosed trailer with a semi, it wouldn't bother me a bit, but as a wage slave who has to work hard every day to enjoy my Porsche hobby, let's just say that this picture, plus this blog, make it easy to want to continue to support Pelican.

Thanks. Seriously.

island911 is LOL at that.

island911 also thinks Wayne will be calling MikeZ about a big vinyl "D" to put in front of that big "W." -- "Chalet WD" :D (edit, for the slower people: "WD" would be Wayne's monogram)

and island911 also thinks on-ramp wants a winnebago with straight pipes. :cool:

Put a big ol honkin Pelican on the side.

Then, take it Vegas where we can all meet up for a road trip somewhere. I'll bring the hot dogs.

so turbo diesel? 500 odd ft/lb of dragging strength, nice trailer too. Thing about that setup is it is already cool in the living area when you get to where you are going.


Saw a low boy trailer like that with a tool box with a little fairing on the front of it, looked a little like the front of an airstream, kept the stuff on the trailer from getting as beat up, according to the guy anyway

sammyg2 08-27-2007 11:10 AM

Man, I've always wanted one of those but could never justify it from a financial stand point. It sure would be cool driving to the river just because the kids and wife would have enough room to move around and play without driving me crazy while I'm driving ;)

My parents recently bought one of those giant RVs with three pop outs.
I asked my dad how he liked it, he said "we could rent a limo to drive us anywhere in the country, and when we get there stay in a 5 star resort and it would still be cheaper than driving this thing". ;)

I told him that he shouldn't care about 5 mpg. he has the money, one day he'll be too old to spend it, so he should drive the snot out of it and not worry about the cost.

M.D. Holloway 08-27-2007 11:21 AM

Let me get ya a nice big LUBEMASTER magnet to go on the sides and the back...dress that wobbly bus up some

RVs depreciate like mad - especially if you buy new. My parents bought a 1 yr/old high end diesel pusher RV used for $260K. Now 2 years later it's worth ~$150K. What's really sick is that new it was nearly $400K :eek:

I grew up in a camping travelling family. We went from years in a sedan/tent to renting class C RVs, then renting class A, to purchasing a used class A. I swear we used it for local camping trips to Lake Cachuma and the beach seemingly every other weekend so they got their money out of it. They also had a larger lot and built a RV storage side yard with big hedges so they didn't pay to store it.

I've been pricing out RV options for next summer. I can't believe the costs of rentals these days - they kill you with the mileage costs. It almost seems to be cheaper to stay in hotels and eat out...

Hugh R 08-27-2007 12:03 PM

I like my Jayco pop up camping trailer. Bought one, then sold at cost I bought for, bought a bigger second one with toilet and show used for $4K several years ago. I use it a few times a year, and not worried about the small amount I spend on maintaining it.
