If you have never had the opportunity to drive something bigger than a Suburban, you need to. Two things will immediately come to your mind: you will be power-drunk knowing that you are in control of such a massive vehicle, and you will be scared for the exact same reason. RVs in particular are intriguing, because of their length…diesel pusher motorhomes are the closest thing the public can get to driving a Greyhound bus without putting on a uniform. They are large, complex, and luxurious, but there are some critiques to owning one…tons of batteries, acceleration that is classified as “gradual” and of course, the eventful joy of having to do your best Cousin Eddy impersonation while you empty out the black water tank.
Mr. Regular of Regular Car Reviews recently got the chance to drive a 2004 National RV that is based upon a Freightliner chassis, and in a move that isn’t normal for RCR, he lets the RV’s owners explain most of what it takes to run one of these rolling bricks properly. Air brakes, an electronic gas pedal that can be a bit touchy and, of course, knowing that he’s driving somebody’s house all conspire to introduce something into Mr. Regular’s voice we don’t normally hear: nervousness.
HAHAHAHAHAHA… Okay, I was bitching about the Jeep because for 62k I expect a bathroom. Well, this thing has a bathroom!
“On a road trip at the end everyone hates each other a little bit… ”
oh yeah, rip off a stinky and lock the windows up and they’ll all hate you a lot. I still hate my dad for it. But not in this thing! Head for the bathroom, stink bomb averted.
I need one. I haven’t been right since the loss of my school bus. I used to think that nothing is more amusing than backing up a schoolbus through a tree lined slalom course. Maybe this would be because you can’t see a dang thing!
