RVing To River Plantation - Days 12-15

On Tuesday we swapped coach tours with another couple who own a 2016 Tuscany as they wanted to see the changes from our 2013 model and so did we.  Our coach is nice inside but I considered it the low end of the 45’ models when compared to some of the others we looked at.  However, when we walked into the 2016 model, I was shocked at the difference as it was more like walking into one of the high end Tiffin’s or Newmar’s.

Our wood is actually the color in the second photo which is lighter than in the top shot.

THEIRS

With dark wood, like the last photo, and chocolate furniture, their coach looked much richer than these shots and the thing I really liked was the improvement to the galley area which utilizes space that is just open in our coach.

That afternoon we attended a presentation by Freightliner and Thor reps where we got updates on their improvements and had a chance to ask questions.  

At this point I was coughing quite a bit and attributed it to allergy issues but Wednesday morning I awoke with a full-fledged head cold which pretty well ended the rally for me as I didn’t want to expose anyone else.  So I just piled up in the coach with the dogs while the ladies participated in the events, went shopping, and brought me food.

Like the missed laser show at Stone Mountain, I missed the main thing I wanted to see here – the Tribute To Red Skelton- a person I really enjoyed watching as a kid.  The ladies said it was a very good show and that Brian Hoffman looked remarkably like Red.

Since we only had an hour and half drive home, we had a leisurely morning getting ready to leave and departed the campground around 11:45 Friday.  In all we enjoyed the three rallies and will look forward to the next ones with the Tennessee Travelers and Thor Diesel Club.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
