First Trip out in the Royal Splendor

[John S.]

Well at 10 am friday morning camping world called and said the AC was in and that they would have it in by 2 pm. I got there a few mins before two and the coach was in the bay and they were running it to make sure it worked and things were cold. I took it and headed to Lancaster as we had tickets for Sight and Sound production of Jonah and we were going to stay in a 200 dollar a night hotel. So, we picked it up and unpacked our suit cases into it and went to wal mart and bought some stuff and headed to the camp ground. It is so neat to stay in and it is the first time I have ever had Jacks. My old coaches had air leveling and my prior Born Free coaches did not have them. I will say this lives better then I expected. The shower is tight but the rest of the coach is wonderful. I have to figure out the XM. It says XM ready but I think I have to get a tuner for it. I also have to put in a DTV receiver to see how that works. Here is a picture of the rig in the shade with the Jeep next to it.

Beautiful coach. Enjoy.

John,

Beautiful coach. Oh, by the way, past president Mel cringes when someone calls their Born Free a rig. The correct upscale term to use is motorcoach!

Thanks for the kind words. I think we will enjoy this very much. I am still getting to know the systems but they are similar to my Foretravel but the switches are in different places then I would think. It took me a few hours to find the switch for the water pump. I used to call the Foretravel a coach so will will try to remember to call this one a coach too.... It is my only motorhome so it deserves it. I am going to have to head out on a long trip soon and see how she does.

That is a nice looking rig (I prefer to think of myself as more of a cowboy than a city slicker). I really like my 2013 24 footer after getting all the previous owner bugs out of it. Hard to believe the business went under, I believe people shop more on price anymore than quality might be one of the factors. I've had junk, I prefer quality. The Splendor was my first choice if I was to buy newer. Surprised you mentioned the shower is cramped, mine is pretty big. Think I could two people that one:)

Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. The pinnacle of the coach maker's art.

In my 24 foot rear bath it was bigger. I guess to fit the bed in the rear it is about six inches in width and length too.

Yes it is.
