Around midnight last night some bright lights were shining through my bedroom window. I assumed it was a car driving by but they weren't going away and that is when I realized they were coming from the lake. Looked out the window and sure enough there is a small boat heading south very slowly maybe twenty feet off shore (very shallow there still - maybe 3-4 ft deep) with two bright lights directed towards the shore. About twenty minutes later it passes by again slowly heading north with its lights still shining. This happened a few times last summer as well. I assume it was not dnr or someone scoping out houses but rather people fishing but what the heck were they fishing for and why do they have to shine the lights towards the shore?
Getting a great deal with really good financing on a '21 Winnebago Solis 59PX with no pop-top. The only hesitations about the Solis are the lack of lithium batteries, uses a generator instead so no 120v without it running when not plugged in or rv engine running, and the cassette toilet.
I can't find a place that can do the switch to lithium and see what the costs would be and if I was going to swap out the toilet I'd go with an incinerator but the lack of 120v would be an issue as it has to run for a while and not sure if the non-lithium batteries can handle that and what the installation/conversion costs.
My other hesitation would be with wanting to go now is a lot of the campgrounds are still closed and I don't feel brave/experienced enough to boondock. I think the thousand trails pass would be good option as they are open now but worried about the limitation of 14-day stays and their mandatory 7-days out requirement (adding to costs) and being stuck in a loop/rotation within their limited regions. It would equate to less than $2 a day camping/parking plus whatever I do for those 7-days outside of their parks.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
I don't remember much about this movie since it was on around 2 AM. I only remember a dude trying to run away from something and a family in a winnebago pulled up. They were all ugly and deformed. There was a mom, a dad, a set of twins and I think there was a little girl. The dad wore glasses. They kept refering to the dad as Mr.Winnebago or something. At the end, the normal guy found his girlfriend or a sister and they were fighting/hiding from something.
Has anyone else heard of this? I’m just hearing about it today and wondering where in the state it’s been seen. I live in the North Country and from what I’ve heard, it’s been seen in Littleton, Haverhill, Woodsville, and Plymouth. Just trying to gather more information!
What is Winnebago ($WGO)? Winnebago is the OG RV company. When boomers think of RVs they think of Winnebagos. They've been in business since 1954 and they might be a great company - but they're at ATH and they're due for a pullback.
$WGO has earnings coming up on 3/26 and I'm betting that they're going to drop. Here's why:
1 - This is the biggest one for me - their Execs are selling. Execs now own less than 4% of the company and they've been selling like crazy. In Q4 2020 & Q1 2021 alone they've sold $18mm worth of shares and bought $0. I had linked the data here but the spambot won't let include it. It's easily searchable "wgo insider trading"
Now I am functionally retarded, but to me this says that the execs know something we don't.
2 - They had an insane 2020 - dropping from $61 to $22 when COVID hit, then spiking up to $60 and holding above $70 (ATH) for the past few months. Everyone knows that 2020 was THE year of the road trip - and RVs had record sales. If there was EVER a year for $WGO to be ATH it was 2020. But guess what - it's 2021 bitches and this shit is all about REOPENING.
Every single person I know is planning flights and vacations on a beach somewhere that's not inside of a fucking RV.
Think of $WGO as the opposite of airlines and cruise stocks. Those stocks got killed in 2020 and they're finally recovering with the reopening. $WGO should be dropping - why is it still at ATH?
3 - They had supplier issues in 2020 - Although demand was there they weren't able to fully capitalize on it. Despite crushing their earnings, their stock tanked after ER last year because of a report that they were having supplier problems. This may be resolved now, but I think it just goes to show how sensitive this stock is
4 - Zacks is all over their nuts - If there's anything I've learned from hanging out here it's that the media loves to make bagholders out of retail. Anytime I see positive headlines out of these fucks my instinct is to do the opposite. Fuck Zacks, Fuck Yahoo Finance - I'm inversing those bitches.
5 - What will their guidance be? - Their ER is on 3/24 and their forecast EPS is 1.37. Last ER they did 1.69...it doesn't matter, everyone knows those numbers don't mean shit anymore for some reason. Now it's all about guidance and I'm having a

Anyone happen to see the guy driving around today in a big Winnebago with a huge LED sign on top messaging you to not get the vaccine? Something about it being the mark of the devil!
Who owns that PHRESH ass Winnebago that’s always parked next to the band’s tour bus? Need more info that shit is TIGHT
My wife and I are getting very close to buying, so any opinion you have I would like to hear.
Quality, service, getting parts, your experience,....... the good, bad and ugly.
Hint: The wrong answers so far all have the right timeframe, mid-80’s.
Hint 2: it wasn’t live action.
Hint 3: over a day old already? Starting to look like our darkest hour. If only there was some way to light it...
So cool!

Background: I've never owned an RV. I've been motorcycle camping for the last 25 years so I have a minimalist mindset. I also have a job that can be done from anywhere if I have internet. This has led me to consider doing (nearly) full time stints in a class B van as a mobile office/studio apartment.
I'm not a used car type of person, so new rigs only.
Prime considerations are power and workstation ergonomics. I need to run multiple monitors and have a comfortable seating arrangement for work. I also need enough battery to run it all without the noisy generator.
So I looked at all the class B's out there and narrowed down to two choices- Thor Tellaro (aka Sequence) 20k (with lithium option) and Winnebago Travato 59KL (with lithium). (for reference I also considered trailers and class B+, but class B works best for me)
Price- Tellaro = $108k, Travato = $150k (best prices I could find online)
Chassis- both built on the same Promaster chassis but Thor uses a window van (more windows!) vs Travato which uses a panel van to which they have added smaller windows.
Floorplan- I sat in both today and by far Tellaro is a better mobile office with a great office seat and a place to put extra monitors. Tellaro also has a bigger fridge and a more open floorplan.
Power Systems- both have lithium battery power packs and no generator. Both have an extra engine alternator and auto-start so the engine becomes the generator. Both can run the AC on battery alone for 6+ hours. Either one would meet my heavy power needs. I think Tellaro has bigger battery capacity, Travato has a slightly bigger inverter.
Finish Quality- You get what you pay for. Sitting in both today I could see all around the build quality of the Thor was inferior to Winnebago Travato. Thor had thinner wall cabinets and drawers with obvious flaws. The Travato was obviously much higher quality fit and finish. All the doors, drawers pulls, etc felt more solid all the way around.
Any input from the community? I'm still leaning Thor because of floorplan and price. At the end of the day $40k can buy alot of repairs/gas/food/campground fees....
but then again... I gotta say that fit and finish of Thor kinda had me concerned today.
