In the beginning

We decided that we want a motorhome. A mobile Manworld.

It has to be small, get decent milage, and sleep 4 adults. It must have a toilet and air conditioning. It has to be a motorhome, not a trailer that I have to pull with some huge SUV, not a pop-up-- just something you can stop and crawl through to the back and crash.

We read. We looked at floor plans. We priced new models. We priced older models. We did a long gas vs. diesel comparison. Finally, we settled on what we wanted - a Toyota motorhome. Unfortunately, Toyota stopped making them in the early 90s and the folks that have them are cult-like in their love for them so the are hard to find. I joined every internet-based group I can find that is Toyota camper related. Perhaps we'll get a solid lead on an automatic post '89 version. Fingers crossed.
