Hi, Dave from Madison WI here, glad to be able to look around.
Debra and I just sold our 1989 Fleetwood Flair 24 foot and are hoping to replace it with a Trek 2480 or similar one under 28 feet long. Perhaps one of the 2600 Treks, but really would prefer 2400 series.
We had the Flair for 5 years and sold it for what we paid for it. Learned what we liked, what we didn't, learned how RV systems work, and that we love traveling in a short class A motorhome. Want to find one at least 20 years old which is perfect for a Trek, then I can register it on my collectors license and avoid annual registration fees and wheel taxes. A considerable savings.
Back in the 90s I had shopped for small motorhomes. Looked at many different types. VW Rialto, Chevy Astro based class C, quite a few others. One that I loved enough to still have the brochure for was the Trek! Loved the massive interior in a tiny Class A. Back then the cost of owning an RV scared me off, but I saved the brochure for someday, well someday has arrived.
Hope to find something by next summer. Looking locally for now, watching nationally. Willingness to travel to buy will increase as summer nears. I will break out the compass each month and draw a bigger circle around Madison on the map.
Thanks for the add to the group, I will try to keep out of the way while I learn my way around.

I believe there is another group more Trek specific. Good luck in your search.
