FIRST TOUR of our New (to us) RV. Built like a Tank, Drives like a Dream & We LOVE it!

[@mimimc8685]

I just cant believe its an older coach. Love the cabinets,counter tops,carpet well everything. Best thing ,you can move everywhere with plenty of space when the slide is in.

[@Rvlove]

Yes that is a huge benefit for sure!

[@talesofahoneybee]

Wow, its really nice! Has all that white that everyone pines for today. Very bright and roomy looking.

[@Rvlove]

Yes we love the white!

[@willymack5196]

Very hard to believe that it's 20 years old it was very well maintained. I hope you enjoy your new home and have many many years of happiness in it I enjoy your videos very much and always look forward to the new ones. Thank you for allowing us viewers to be a part of your life.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you Willy, glad you enjoy.

[@daveholmes7848]

Just bought a 1999 Mountain Aire 38 feet last month. We love it.

[@Rvlove]

Great choice. Congratulations.

[@linodigioacchino662]

Congratulations on the new coach. I hope you have a lifetime of experiences in it.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you!

[@gecomarc88]

Congratulations Marc & Julie! Your Country Coach is a gem!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Country Coach are fantastic pushers. This unit will be on the road for many, many more years. For others looking at older coaches, don't be discouraged or run away because of old fabrics or terrible colors. As see here, the previous owner took on some updating. This can be as simple as primer and paint, new hardware, light fixtures, and new carpet. Most of the fabric is stapled on to the wood valences and surrounds. If you're not comfortable changing the fabric you can actually paint it. Just be sure to vacuum and clean all the dust off. Most of the mirrors are glued on the doors. Behind the mirrors will be the same beautiful cabinet doors found in the rest of the coach. With today's peel and stick everything you can find: real stone backsplash and accent wall tiles - peel and stick real wood planks for accent walls, headboards, fireplace surround, covering Formica shelves, creating wainscoting, etc,etc..These peel and stick real wood planks are not for use as flooring - peel and stick vinyl flooring in dozens of patterns styles and colors - and hundreds of peel and stick wall paper choices with more every day. Glass cabinet, shower doors, and mirrors can be updated with window films to create a whole new look. New faux wood blinds can be cut in-store at most home improvement big box stores. Remodeling or updating an older coach is now extremely simply and cost effective. No special tools or skills are needed. All you need is a little imagination and time to create your own home to go. Updating older coaches with a great exterior and running gear is so simple and cost effective some have turned flipping these unwanted coaches. Like Marc said, a diesel pusher is good for a few hundred to a million miles. And yes, an older coach with low miles can be an issue. As always, have any RV you're seriously considering inspected. Find you own inspector. Don't listen to the seller when they say they have a "great guy who'll give you a great price". If something happened a day into owning the new-to-you coach after his guy raised no concerns you'll kick yourself for not having it inspected at a shop you choose. Prices for an inspection range depending on how deep into the RV you want him or her to inspect. However a couple hundred bucks to point out the engine is about to go is a lot better than having to shell out $10k for a rebuilt engine a month or two later. Get out there and find an RV to suit your needs. So long as the exterior doesn't require paint (big bucks to paint an RV -$8k-$35k), no water leaking or rot, the mechanical check out, and the chassis and engine all have a clean bill of health, buy it. If you don't have the budget for an interior refit, start shopping for peel and stick everything for a fun, easy and affordable facelift to suit your individual style. Have fun! Cheers from Seattle!

[@Rvlove]

Excellent comments and ideas shared here Cameron. We totally agree. Thank you for sharing.

[@chakaula8642]

Looking back at your old vids. You are the BEST lady presenter of an rv I've ever seen! So thorough and relaxed. You must've done this before. NICE! ALOHA

[@Rvlove]

Thank you! 😊

[@brendanwalsh1675]

WOW!!! Fulltiming in a 20 year old beautiful, well made coach! Lots of videos ahead for us! Mark and Julie you have our respect! Best of luck with VCC. We'll be praying for you. Brendan & Lena

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for your compliments and support.

[@foretexas]

Vintage high end coaches were built with quality in mind. We have a '98 Monaco, very similar to Country Coach in the same era. These older models don't have the bling, or problems with newer coaches. Perfect for making it yours without braking the bank.

[@Rvlove]

Indeed. So much coach for the money without the complexities, and very high quality home.

[@waydeb11]

Guys, we started with a Tiffin gas coach and changed this year to a 40 ft diesel. You are gonna love the ease of refueling at truck stops and the smooth quieter drive! Cant wait to see your interior changes. Congrats!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Very similar path. Yes.. love how much easier it is to fill at truck stops now that we can fill with diesel. Love the improved fuel economy and range too. We used to go 500 miles on a tank of fuel. Now we can go nearly 900 miles.

[@vickimarquart2069]

We absolutely love our Country Coach. You just can't beat the quality that went into these coaches. Ours is a 2006 and the wood cabinets still look as good as new. . No plastic anything in these RV's. The diesel engine and transmission make going up and down in the mountains so easy. Can't wait to see what you do with the inside by making it "your own". Maybe will give us some ideas as well. That is the fun of it, right?

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Congrats on your Country Coach too. Great coaches. Looking forward to making it our own and sharing ideas with you. Should be really fun.

[@roxanneturner5761]

We bought a 1994 Country Coach Magna two years ago and agree that the quality of the cabinets is awesome along with most everything in it. we knew nothing about CC when we bought it but have learned since how great a build they are. We are only weekend campers at the moment but plan to go full time in the next year hopefully. Great find for you! I also just ordered your book yesterday and cannot wait to get it. Love your videos, enjoy CC!!! maybe we will meet you on the road someday.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you, and congratulations on your CC . Great you can enjoy your coach part time, and we are excited for you and your plans to travel more extensively. See you out there!

[@honeybeeme0510]

You made a great choice! We love how you always make us think outside the box!

[@Rvlove]

Thanks! Glad you hear that - we really do like people to think differently outside of the 'norm' - there is NO one size fits all when it comes to RVs :)

[@lindanerney9896]

What a find. This is a beautiful coach. You will be happy with it.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@nicolaxoxo1]

I really love the light REAL wood cabinets and the curved large kitchen counter has way more counter space than many newer coaches, even the 45 footers

[@Rvlove]

Agreed... Love the light colored real wood throughout. And yes.. the kitchen is huge for a 40' definitely larger than some of our friends with 45ers.

[@LowsJuan]

An oldie but a goodie. Such a simple way to prevent kitchen drawers from opening underway. Give me those, over those self-closing ones that never stay closed anyway. Tastefully conservative which will make it easier to update too. Looking forward to all of the upgrades and refurbishing videos. If you upgrade the backup camera, black and white models of old are actually better at displaying detail than the newer colour ones. Just change the monitor at the dash. Marc, if Julie starts to think that thinks she needs to upgrade you, just tell her that like your cummins diesel you are just broken in, with many more miles of enjoyment to be had.

[@Rvlove]

Thanks for the support and tips. We appreciate it.

[@Rvlove]

Haha thanks for your comments! Especially liked your suggestion about the monitor - we do need to replace that. But definitely won't be trading Marc in! He's a keeper! :)

[@lisaallred3633]

I have never even been inside an RV. Your post just popped up. I enjoyed this video because it is clear how pleased you both are with your new vintage CC. I am happy for you! I hope you have many delightful adventures!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you.

[@walterfredrickson3887]

CONGRATS GUYS, COUNTRY COACHS ARE WELL BUILT!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@josephcirelli9642]

It’s beautiful! With the “blank slate” you’ll be able to make it your own easily. Pre emissions is a great feature & with only 175K miles, doesn’t seem the engine would be worn out. You’re wise to live in it for a couple months to get a feel for what you’ll want to do with the interior. Very happy for you both! Enjoy the journey & wish you safe travels!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you very much.

[@grateful1929]

New here!! That is A BEAUTIFUL coach!! Y'all are very blessed to have that. I LOVE the inside!! Congrats!! We have a 1992 Prevost bus/ coach. We got it at an awesome price and we love our old/new to us bus 😊 It's beautiful inside too!!

[@jslhopper]

You are right, these older coaches are built like a tank. I just finished renovating my 98 Monaco dynasty. New wood floor, wall, white cabinet, etc.. Love my 8.3 Cummins. Lots of power!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes.. nice coach you have too. Sounds very similar. Enjoy

[@franceinegelven677]

Love kitchen!! Like white throughout. Like floor plan a lot. So much better than all newer ones I’ve been reviewing. Wish I could have that style!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Glad you like it. Check out what we did with it in our RV Makeover series. The end result is quite amazing. Here is link to all the related posts and videos. www.rvlove.com/rv-makeover

[@grindygrindstaff9378]

So happy for you both. I picked a 97 American Tradition w/ 8.3 Cummins with 119,00 miles. Love it and you will love yours too. Still doing little. Upgrades.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. And great choice on yours too.

[@lucillehjort8110]

I think it is beautiful. I love the white cabinets and walls. It makes it look so spacious and clean as well as light and bright inside, not dark and depressing. I think when you move in and put in your toss pillows and your other belongings, it will look more like you are used to. I love the furniture. It is looks nice and comfortable and the chair may be a recliner because it has a handle on the side like recliners have. I am so happy for you. This makes me think that an older one that is cheaper, but in good condition and still reasonable when you put on all of the things that you are going to and with your new tires and fresh fluids, it will be like brand new when you get done but a lot cheaper than a brand new one. Wishing you the best of luck with it and much happiness travelling in it.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes... exactly what we have been thinking. We researched a LOT and are super happy with the path we have chosen.

[@thebuffmeister89]

Fantastic. I can see why you like it. It’s quite generously proportioned inside even with the slide in. Very liveable until you decide what you want to change.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes.. very livable as is.

[@Dogcats246]

That is really awesome! I’m amazed that there are white cabinets especially from around the time of 1999. Julie, can’t wait to see how you are going to decorate it. I’m sure it will be beautiful! I thought you might stay with a class A but I didn’t think you’d go older! That gives me some new ideas for my search for my RV when I retire. Thanks! Good luck!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for the compliments. Glad to hear that we have given you some ideas too. Looking forward to sharing the redecorating with you.

[@StacieDude]

Congratulations! We bought a 1991 Champion Ultrastar 28' twin bed (no slides, sleeps 6 or more accurately 2 adults and 4 kids). Acquired for an amazing price and we know both the previous owner and previous mechanic (his son) and a good friend of ours. Our 2nd time out we drove 2,500 miles from Washington to Texas. We lived full time for 9 months with 2 cats, 3 dogs, one a Great Dane. We are continuing to upgrade and modify as we go. Good luck on your continued journey with your new (to you) home. Joel and Bunny, Texas.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Wow.. that is a full house with all those pets. Sounds like a nice RV

[@awksedgreep]

You guys hit a home run. Beautiful coach and great attitude toward upgrades. Very exciting.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@MarneenZahavi]

Love the CC Intrigue. With the Cummins too. Enjoy my friends...so happy for you.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@catH727]

Office chair can fit at the desk! We have a 2005. Well built great shape. It’s neutral enough to throw pops if decor pillows . Definitely love the space, cabinets. I found laundry drop off to be great! Congratulations again. We love our A. Ours had 40,000 . Perfect. We went to look and went through and couldn’t pass on it.watch driver seat when letting slide in and out.

[@Rvlove]

Glad you love yours too.

[@mackpeteno]

I have that same exact coach.99 Intrigue,same color and interior.I have had mine almost 6 years. You will love it.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

is that color wood stain common? I have not seen it before, only seen folks who pain the standard dark wood with white paint. These are Stained and it is in my opinion much more elegant than just slathering on white paint. I also like the huge counter space in the kitchen and large frig. She did not show the shower too much but it did also look large and had a real glass door. I think it has more storage space and much more kitchen counter space than many 45 footers I have seen. I wish I could find one because to me this seems ideal and affordable too. What do you think a comparable CC would go for? Does yours also have one slide?

[@mackpeteno]

The white cabinets has the grain showings very thin coat of paint.The shower is very large, with glass door.Ours has 80,000 miles.Not as clean as theirs.May be available later this year for about 35,000.We are only using it a couple months a year.Their coach is a good deal, very clean.

[@Rvlove]

Great that you have the same coach, even down to the white interior. We love it. Sounds like yours is very nice. Great that you have had it for 6 years. Great benefit to next owner (which might even be nicolaxoxo1. :)

[@nicolaxoxo1]

FirstDoyle LastChandler keep me in mind if you are wanting to sell, thanks

[@latada2198]

OMG! I would have NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS GUESSED! Congratulations! She’s a beautiful coach! You guys are going to have so much fun indeed. I’m so happy and excited for you guys!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you... Yep.. big surprise. Thanks again.

[@jondoe7252]

I can see about 20k in upgrades in your future with new airbags/hoses, ac's and and inverters/solar. Add that to your purchase price and you still have a better coach that you could buy new today for 3-4 times the money. I think you have hit the ball out of the park with this coach. The most fun you will have is making it "custom" fit for you. What an awesome blank canvas. So very happy for the both of you.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. You see what we see. At this price point we can do significant upgrades and have an amazing coach for a quarter of the price. Looking forward to customizing her. Thanks again.

[@sandaschroeder]

We are so excited for you guys!!! Congratulations on the new rig! We can't wait to see all that you do to make it your own!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you!

[@dianecraig6055]

So excited for the next chapter! CC is a great coach - loved the loo with a view! Our next coach has a roomy, split bathroom, too and I cannot WAIT for that. Plus all the wardrobe/cupboard space... Have fun with making plans!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you.

[@allens7476]

Country Coach is indeed a high end motorhome. I had a National Tradewinds (same parent company) for 14 years and it was very well built also. I miss that side by side fridge with ice maker. I miss the massive storage bays. I have no regrets owning it. I've downsized since traveling solo.

[@Rvlove]

Good for you Allen. Yes National was well built also. We just changed to a resi fridge and love it!

[@RobFomenko]

Congratulations on your new coach. Looks good. I have new to us too, a 1999 Foretravel U320 40 foot no slide and also love it. Lots of projects in the making, with new awnings, new flooring, new fabrics, reupholstering the jackknife sofa and chairs, new backup cam and side cam, new stereo system, etc. Bought ours due to the 1500 watts of solar and the 600 amp hours of victron lithium batteries the PO put in, plus all new basement, new windows, new shades... amazing how much moving parts there are in one of these. See you on the road.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yours is great too. We actually think we know the person you bought that coach from. Great coach.

[@allleygreen8093]

BEAUTIFUL, I love the brightness and how it looks more spacious. You're right, it's well made and lightyears ahead of it's time. HUGE fan of VINTAGE.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Agreed.

[@daveputman4402]

I love your excitement and your choice. Really looking forward to the upgrade process. I truly believe that you made thousands of people believe that they can do this on their terms that would not have otherwise even tried. Good job guys

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for your kind words. We love thinking that we have helped so many. Thanks again!

[@foretravelman67]

Congratulations! Wise decision to purchase a quality used diesel pusher. When we went full time in 2000, we purchased a '97 U320 Foretravel with no slides and absolutely loved that coach. The one thing we had were the panagraphic doors, so no hitting your head while retrieving stuff from the storage areas. We had 2 huge joey beds as well. Country Coach and Foretravel were pretty close to each other as far as amenities go! They were both well ahead of their time and still on the road today with huge carrying capacities. Oh, we had the 450 M-11 Cummins in ours. Great decision to buy used. I would not be afraid of the miles or condition of this rig! Well done indeed!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for the compliments. Agreed.. Country Coach and Foretravel of that era are both excellent coaches. We met a couple who had purchased a Foretravel of that era new and had over 450,000 miles on it, and still loved it.

[@miketomas8564]

Congratulations! Welcome to The Big Boy's Club! You have definitely found one of the best made coaches ever built! A Country Coach would have been my second choice after my Beaver! Mark and Julie, That's a diesel generator that you have now! unlike what your use to with your gas generator, It wants to run! Don't be afraid to let it run all day. With your gas genny, you have to be a little conservative on their use. They tend to want regular maintenance and repair. With a diesel- it's like a stallion! it will just run flawlessly for hours! Don't worry about the length of time it's been running! And maintenance is fairly easy. mostly you will want to replace the coolant at first, maybe check the fan belt, maybe check and replace the fuel filter, and then the basic oil change. just take it in for service for an evaluation. I know a place in Phoenix if you wanted to take it in. I'm not pushing them, I just take my work trucks to them. And a quick tip: Hours are hard to understand. People talk in mileage. When someone says it's got 87,000 miles on it, people know immediately what that means. But when you say it's got 1200 hours on it, eeehhh that means what? I don't know how many hours you have on that generator; But. If you take the amount of hours you have and multiply it by say: 60, you will get an approximate Idea of the amount of MILES that engine has on it! It's a trick I learned from my Generator Service Tech here in Phoenix who services the Generators on my fleet of News Trucks I use to manage! The 60 is roughly a good measurement of drive time. basically you drive 60MPH so your converting hour H to M. and that makes it so much easier to understand how much wear the generator has on it! I Emailed you Julie about a year ago about "DreamFinders RV" using your images and a made up story to promote themselves. Since then I have found my 2000 Beaver here in Mesa and we love it! Like your "CeeCee", our Beaver was completely original and everything was in showroom quality. not a scratch or rip anywhere! I think it is a good idea you have to live in "CeeCee" for a while, wait a bit and let your magic bubble up and form a colorful plan that would make the interior uniquely yours! Are you guys still in Phoenix? We would love to meet up and say hello!

[@Rvlove]

Hi Mike Thanks so much for your suggestions - a lot of great advice in there! So glad you are happy with your Beaver Coach, another quality motorhome. We are actually in Oregon right now - not sure when we will be back to Phoenix area. Do you know of any shops in Texas area? We are excited about our remodel for sure. Hope to cross paths some day!

[@miketomas8564]

RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett I do Not! I'm sorry. I've spent an overwhelming majority of my time in Arizona. We still have a stix n' bricks we live in additionally of our coach. No plans to sell it anytime soon. We will be tehered here in Phoenix for the forseeable future with our jobs as I now try to wrap my head around workcamping and going mobile. I do know of your online classes and may soon be browsing your expertise, but we would be talking about a major career change, so lots to consider. I wish I did have a good suggestion for you in Texas, but that is the reason for our purchace: to travel! Wishing you the best in your new home.

[@jenjenscreations5724]

Before we purchased our 2007 Monaco Knight, we looked at CC- they are made well. You are right, they don’t make the newer coaches like they did years ago. Really enjoyed the tour and can’t wait to see future videos!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you.

[@janicevoss864]

Congratulations! I was totally surprised at first, but after the walk through I can see how “she” spoke to you. Can’t believe how much storage it has! It will be so much fun to watch you guys transform her into making it your own. Julie said it right, she is like a blank slate just waiting for your magic. Happy trails! 😊💞

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Looking forward to sharing the transformation with you.

[@bruceduvall3658]

Lots of luck and many happy miles. Look forward to seeing all your future updates .

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@sandontheroad1085]

Looks like you made a great choice...we have a 1998 Country Coach Intrigue and absolutely love it. We've upgraded the Inverter and both AC units and thermostat. We replaced both slide hydraulic cylinders and had to weld up a new battery bay floor. These old girls need a little love but they really appreciate it when you care for them. Here's hoping you two have good times making her your own.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. congratulations on virtually the exact same coach. We see a few of those same changes for our CC. Thanks again.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

Sand on the Road Hi, is yours also the white stain cabinets?

[@sandontheroad1085]

Thanks, following your tour I found that both coaches are very much alike. Ours is the "cooks delight" model and has a different galley arrangement. We also have solid oak cabinets throughout and the wood joinery is one of the things that sold me on this coach. I replaced the bathroom Maxxair vent yesterday and will finish the Dicor sealing today. We're in the process of remodeling our home for sale and reconditioning our coach at the same time. Hope to be full-time by January. Looking forward to seeing you guys on the road. If you come through South Alabama give us a holler.

[@retiredletsgosomewhere8743]

That is so nice, we love our 1998 Fleetwood Discovery, we have actually put 10K miles since last August. God is good!

[@Rvlove]

Awesome Sam!

[@LadyZoeBella]

Awesome! Isn't it cool how the right coach comes along and you just know it. It is going to be fun watching you upgrade and make it your own. I love that it is so sturdy and roomy. You are smart to live in it for a bit before doing many upgrades and as you said it is fine just as it is and you can personalize it as you go. Best Wishes

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Looking forward to sharing the upgrades with you once we get settled in.

[@germanevision]

The innovation bit is the table. What an idea!

[@curtandshellybishop3088]

[@MrHeavyt56]

Congrats guys! What a GREAT RV and BUY...OMG, you won't believe this but that's the kind of floor plan I've been looking for. You had me at One Slide out and my pet peev was not having a slide on passenger side so you could enjoy a full awning. Thanks to you guys I'll be looking for one in a year or so. Looking forward to watching what you do with her. Stay safe...

[@Rvlove]

Thank you and wishing you success in finding yours.

[@rebeccabeckmann1489]

Congrats,looks like a vintage diamond,it suits you both...while the mirrors seem a little blingy they help to bounce light around making it seem way bigger.Have fun ,looking forward to watching future videos .

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Great choice. With your eye to decor this will be a real gem. Great engine and chassis. Congrats!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes.. will be an even more special coach once we make it our own.

[@rvdreamin836]

I love it!!! Can't wait for us to show off our new coaches in Texas in October. Happy for you guys.

[@Rvlove]

Yes we can't wait to see yours too!

[@Roadtripmischief]

That's a beautiful coach!!❤❤❤ Congratulations! Country Coach always made impressive RVs. I'm sure you will have lots of happy miles in yours! Can't wait to see how you update and modify it.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Looking forward to sharing the modifications with you.

[@HulaShack1]

Oh My Goodness!!! Congrats! It is beautiful. I can hardly wait to see what you two do to her. She really looks brand new!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes, she looks great, but we have some exciting plans for her too.

[@loriwilliams6991]

You two are so cute! So smart to buy one with the depreciation already done! Our 5th motorhome is brand new and ... ugh. So so so many things to repair and what a headache it has been, because we made the mistake of purchasing from a dealership far away from home, and then had to work so much to get dealerships to help with warranty work! So buying used is definitely better! Enjoy, enjoy!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for sharing your comment. Sorry to hear that you have had so many challenges. Yes, new RVs often have more bugs to work out than pre-owned ones, and not being near the dealership you bought it at reduces the priority for getting service done. Hope you get it all sorted out soon and enjoy it more.

[@jessicaesk]

Love your new ride 😍 Can definitely see in your eyes how happy you both are. Can’t wait to see what adventures your CC takes you on!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@davidsonialondon9007]

Congratulations! Love the light, airy and spacious look of your new home on wheels. It looks like in mint condition. I wasn’t that surprised to learn you bought a used RV, but did think you might go smaller as that seems to be the trend. Smart purchase. The very best of luck in your new and beautiful home. Sure you’re looking forward to all the fun projects and making it your own. We’ll also be looking forward to them.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Looking forward to sharing the updates with you.

Wow... with everybody these days downsizing you guys actually sized up! I could never understand two people giving up a medium size coach to go live in a van. Start with a van .... sure.... but to live in one for years. .. not my cup of tea. You guys have it right. An older, quality coach you probably now own outright that you can make into whatever you like and with the room to not be constantly tripping over each other. What a find - what potential - I can hardly wait to see all the renos you do. Super congrats.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you Paul. Agreed... Vans are nice for shorter trips, or one person, but can't imagine trying to live and work full time from a van long term. We are super happy with our choice and look forward to sharing the renos with you.

RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett My partner Neil and I are planning to retire to coach life and it's folks like you we follow closely. While not everyone is the same, after you've been in people's lives for a while, you can kind of figure out who's closest to you and what you want and whos taking a path you would never follow. You guys are basically living our dreams with the exception of sky diving (yikes). Feed me Seymor, feed me (Little Shop Of Horrors).

I'd never drive a monster like that and tow a vehicle behind it to boot. I'll take a camper van any day, but I like to travel and keep moving. Just the gas mileage alone and I'm way ahead. Of course, I'm a minimalist and don't need all the material things to be happy. Just a tiny house and my class B van. The less to maintain, the better!

[@SteveBoyer10]

What an awesome RV. Such great bones, and the base colors inside are a really great base to modify from!

[@Rvlove]

It really is. As soon as we saw it, we knew she was 'the one' - for now anyway :)

[@andychops]

Well done! Those coaches were built like tanks, and now you're on the other side of the depreciation bell curve :)

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes.. great to be on the other side of the depreciation curve.

[@cherylhead1810]

Beautiful I love it I wouldn't change anything on the inside this is the first and only one I have seen that I really like a lot

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. We love it.

[@wcarlhepker4806]

In my comment, when you asked us to guess, wad that you were getting a diesel pusher. This sort of coach is exactly what I had in mind. I love natural wood where I can see the grain patterns. All that white paint hurts my sense of wood aesthetics, but some people prefer it. I guess it is a good thing that all of us don’t think alike. All of those mirrors make it feel brighter and more spacious. Don’t paint the mirrors! Congratulations! Enjoy! If the water pump quits, make sure you are already in the service bay when it happens, right?

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. good guess. Yep.. we appreciate quality wood, but do love this white coach. the nicest wood work we have seen is on older Beaver coaches. Yep that was funny when the Tiffin water pump failed in the service bay. Fortunately.. if this one fails it is much more easily accessible to fix on my own.

[@claytoncomeaux7653]

Oh my Lord , we are so jelly right now. So happy for you now!!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you.

[@asphaltgypsy868]

I'm a longtime subscriber, but not much of a "poster".I just have to say "Wow! How lucky to have found CC!!" She (or he??) is awesome! I know that y'all will continue to have great adventures for many years to come! Congratulations!! Happy trails!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you for your wonderful comment, and for being a longtime subscriber. Happy trails to you too.

[@Joanna_L]

Yes, not at all what I thought, but what a fantastic floor-plan, such great light and look at that storage! What fun you'll have planing the makeover! Enjoy!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@lellowflutterby]

You should have a sign on your bathroom door that says: “Loo With A View” 😄

[@jessicaesk]

That was my favorite line! Lollll

[@Rvlove]

LOL. Glad you loved the line.

[@magaliasram2941]

Excellent choice beautiful coach. Our purchase was a 2004 Fleetwood Discovery 39S. It had 190000 miles and didn’t scare me off. I figure I don’t need to worry about the engine or trans until I start to approach the 500000 mile mark. Think yours was a great choice.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@jeanburk9539]

Love your coach and really understand why you bought it. I've been looking for around 4 years. Have a look at Paul and Lorena's redo that they did recently. Lovely colors and lots of storage suggestions. Of course we are all individuals. Motor home Experiment channel.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@alaskangalb]

Congrats! I hope you have fun decorating it and settling in it.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you!

[@loda9510]

Congratulations! Look forward to the new adventures and seeing how you transform the CC to your new home. I love older model coaches - they seem to have more personality.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Agreed... they seem to have more personality. Just wait until we do the renovation. She will have even more personality then.

[@wannabetraveler6595]

Those coaches were a great coach and still could be. Bob Lee really wanted a great upscale coach for all. This will be fun to watch. Great job, guys.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. It really is a wonderful coach. Looking forward to sharing the updates with you.

[@SouthernFoodieGal]

I love it!! I’m partial to 90s models and this one is great. Looking forward to the updates, too!

[@Rvlove]

It was a great era for quality coach building for sure.

[@werairlola9697]

Congratulations 🍾Big shocker 🙀 Can’t wait to see the remodel 🤗 Wishing you happy trails🙏🙏🙏

[@Rvlove]

Yep. We knew it would be a surprise. Looking forward to sharing the remodel with you

[@jackyoungblood8011]

Congratulations,you will have it looking like home in no time.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@dawnhightman8557]

Congratulations-Diesel coach’s are great-the ride is so smooth. We recently put new tires on our 39’ Excursion and a big part of such a smooth ride was checking the weight. Checking the front & total to determine the rear weight. Then adjusting the tire pressure in the coach. Huge difference in ride. The tire places usually fill up to 105 to 110 tire pressure way to much depending on weight. 🎉💕🎉

[@Rvlove]

Agreed. Ride quality is significantly impacted by matching the tire pressure to the weight on the axle. We put this on a scale before driving it home and then again once loaded to make sure we have it dialed in. Thanks for sharing this tip for everyone.

[@1RodeoMom]

Congratulation! have Fun! We just bought our first 43 ft Tiffin Allegro M43QRP and slept in it for the first time Saturday night, we are still downsizing - can't believe how long it takes to downsize... cant wait for more videos of the updates

[@Rvlove]

Congratulations on your new coach. Sounds nice. Isn't that first night amazing! Yes.. downsizing can be a long process. We look forward to sharing the updates with you

[@russellemorris8692]

I bought a 1999 Country Coach Intrigue last year. Country Coach sure knew how to build motorhomes back in the day. My floor plan is quite different but love having access to everything even when the slide is in. Mine was converted to golf cart batteries prior to purchase, they seem to do a nice job. I'll be installing a small (2 panel) solar array at some point. My coach has a sofa (drive side) and J-lounge (curb side), thinking of taking one out and turning the space into an office. And yes, it is a real hoot to drive.

[@Rvlove]

Congratulations on your purchase too. Great coaches. Thank you.

[@myrarega8312]

What a great surprise and I love how excited you are. I am looking forward to following your remodel. I know you will do a fabulous job and have man great adventures in her.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Looking forward to sharing the remodel with you.

[@lorilust6150]

Congratulations! You're right, didn't expect this! Knew it was going to be a motorhome, diesel. Boy, that's a lot of mirrors! Look forward to see how you upgrade her!

[@Rvlove]

Yep. We knew we would surprise a few folks with this. Lots of mirrors for now. Looking forward to sharing the upgrades with you.

[@kathyaldridge7171]

Very nice! I love everything about it, especially all the white!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you

[@patpoythress2254]

Great find! We were especially excited since we bought a 1998 Intrigue last November in preparation for retirement in 2020. We figure it will take that long to get it the way we want it, plus saving up for each big upgrade (solar). The coaches are almost identical minus your large fridge, the neutral carpet and the white cabinets. I wanted to paint ours but my husband stroked out because it's such nice wood. I do plan to paint the walls and we removed the valences/blinds. I have a plan for curtains. We're planning to reupholster the UGLY sofa and have our driver & passenger chairs re-foamed as they are pretty tired looking although the leather is in pretty good shape. Our carpet is lime green (and smelly!) and we are in the process of pulling all of that out. Trying to decide what to put down to replace it. Everything in ours was gold so you're a leg up on us there. The previous owner must have already replaced yours. We have replaced ours, but I like yours better! We have also replaced all the knobs and pulls. Bought a pretty shower curtain to cover up the gold door! We may replace or paint it but we haven't decided. We also have all the mirrors you have and I want to get rid of that since I would be scaring myself all the time! I have some ideas but we haven't gotten that far yet. Ours is missing the recliner so if you decide to get rid of yours we'd seriously be interested in purchasing it. We know for sure it would fit through the door! I want a white or gray one but am having trouble finding the style, size and color I want. Keep us up on what your plans are. I will be anxious to see what you do with it. Your last coach was decorated so nicely! No pressure! Ha!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you Pat. Great that you have virtually the same coach. Very excited for you. Sounds like you are making some great updates in making yours your own too. We definitely plan to keep the chairs and couch, but will be making many updates. Looking forward to sharing our updates with you. Excited for your plans to retire in 2020. That is right around the corner.

[@dsm5862]

what a great coach to adventure in, you will enjoy making it your own and I can not wait to see the changes you make!!! I love used RV's, always fun to make upgrades!!!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. We look forward to making it our own and sharing the changes with you.

[@golfnut2599]

WOW nice bus. We switched from a 5er to a 2005 newmar dutch star diesel pusher a year ago and we love it. i am sure you will do okay, we have 4 slides and we love it. looking forward to following your adventure

[@Rvlove]

4 slides are nice! So far we are doing just fine with the one as it's so spacious inside. Would like a little more space in the bedroom but it's not a dealbreaker... glad you love your Dutch Star!

[@tracyk.8306]

Congratulations! Not at all what we expected but totally get you wanting to put your own style into it. So happy to see you both excited about this new project! I have to say, really like all the windows, neutral light colors, and quality of the cabinetry. The convertible desk was really cool -why don’t we see more of those?! And, it looks like you can function in it very well with slides in should you need to, like when parked overnight at Walmart or something. Finally...and most importantly...thank you, Julie for the jolly loo tour! We wish you all the best in your new RV! Looking forward to seeing what changes you make!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. We knew it would surprise a few folks. We certainly love it. We do love all the windows and the neutral light colors. Yes, fantastic to have it so functional with the slide in. Looking forward to sharing the changes with you.

[@CandaceRvingft]

CeeCee is gorgeous! My Mom had a Country Coach Magna that drove like a dream as well. They were TOP quality in their day. And the fact it is a DP with under 200K and pre-DEF mean you have a super rig well worth putting $$ into upgrdes and boondocking features. She is already light, white and bright which is THE cat's meow now ;) AWESOME choice y'all! Am sooo happy for you! I sooo want to see the next journey as your tweak and tweet CeeCee's 2nd wind! Bravo!

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Yes.. we think CC is awesome and look forward to many travels and making her really shine in her new life with us.

[@crowman5936]

If you get rid of the mirrors you'll pick up about 2 to 3 hundred pounds of cargo capacity but if you keep them install a Disco Ball on the ceiling.

[@Rvlove]

SO many mirrors, they are coming off for sure - most of them, have to count, but we estimate close to 40!!! Disco Ball Indeed!

[@Chantwizzle]

We live in a 9'6 slide in truck camper with zero slides lol. But we do have a north/south bed which makes it more comfortable. Can't wait to see how you decorate! Loved removing the 90's decor from our camper.

[@SteeleU]

I have a 2006 Crossroads tow behind and it has the same fabric print!!! Love your new Rv. :)

[@Rvlove]

Haha awesome thanks!
