As mentioned in my last post, we stopped at a couple of dealerships while in Northern Alabama in September.
We had talked about getting a driveable RV, instead of tow behind. Our thinking was that it was getting to be bothersome to setup the tow behind. Not to mention the stress of pulling a house behind you.
I wanted a larger RV (actually wound up going smaller). Our last one had plenty of storage both inside & out but it had a murphy bed & it couldn't be slept in without putting out the slide. It also had a great outdoor kitchen with a lifted 'lid' for opening which meant you could still cook when it was raining. We thought that was a game changer for us. However, we couldn't find a driveable model with an outdoor kitchen, in the size/length we wanted.
We stopped at the Great American RV dealership & looked at the Mercedes chassis Grand Design Lineage model. We liked the layout & it had plenty of storage, just without the outdoor kitchen. On the way home, we (Greg) took it for a test drive & he liked the way it handled.
We thought we would be able to find a Grand Design dealer closer to us in SWGA. But, the dealerships we found didn't yet carry the Lineage line (they only came out in 2024).
So, we made the decision to go back to N Alabama & get the one we looked at.
We went through the very long sales process as well as a walk thru & then we had to transfer EVERYTHING from our old RV to the new one. What a rush that was!
But, we drove away with it!

That's big news, and it sounds like an excellent decision. I'm sure you'll get used to the differences in no time.
Leigh, All the electronics make it difficult at times. I know we'll get used to it, the more we use it but I wish I could turn them off & go all manual.
