On Friday, we visited with a salesman at McClain’s RV in Fort Worth to see an Itasca Horizon. It was a nice motorhome, and we like a lot about it. However, when we compared it to our baseline, the Allegro Bus, it came in a distant second place. I got the salesman to call the factory and get the "four corner" weights, and I was really impressed. They were:
LF = 5915
RF = 5946
FA = 10,861
LF = 5915
RF = 5946
FA = 10,861
LR = 9253
RR = 9235
RA = 18,488
Winnebago made this a really well engineered coach. However, on the inside, the Tiffin is still very much nicer. Also, the Winnebago has to be modified to use a stacked washer and dryer, and it is on a Freightliner chassis with a rear radiator.
We used some show passes given to us be Vogt RV to go back to the show and re-look the Bus immediately after looking over the Itasca.
We then headed out of town toward the west and the three Texas State Parks that we wanted to visit. We got to the Lake Mineral Wells State Part at about 4:30pm and talked the lady into giving us a site for the night, and had our name put on the waiting list for Saturday night. This park is only about an hour out of Fort Worth and gets full on weekend.
We set up camp, went to the local Walmart for supplies, had dinner, and went to bed early.
