Coming from years of owning Airstream trailer, I knew that to come close to matching the construction quality of the Airstream, I was going to have to get a diesel pusher.  We wanted large basement storage, room for a washer/dryer, an open kitchen, a floor plan that would allow easy installation of a full sized desk for business purposes and a separate icemaker.  We had good luck with the aluminum Airstream so we began looking for an aluminum bodied motorhome. 

We found what we were looking for in an aluminum bodied Safari Motorhome.  With the motorhome selected, we now had to find a suitable car to tow behind it.  One serious consideration was our Irish Wolfhound.  He is not comfortable trying to sit on a car seat.  He loved the 4' x 5' open area in the van where he could stretch out on the floor where the second row of seats had been removed.  We considered small SUV's, minivans and small station wagons.  Then we drove the Turbo PT Cruiser.  We were hooked.  Power and handling were superior to the minivans and small SUV's and with the back seats folded down and tumbled forward there was a flat floor almost as large as Patrick had in the van.

After three and a half years, we decided that we would look for a large motorcoach.  We finally found what we were looking for in a 43.5' Newell Coach.
