I saw these Somersets rolling west out of Indy today on I-74!  I'm sure someone's gonna be happy to have a new PUP!!

I've seen them on the lot of my RV dealership.  They are definitely getting out there.

RV sales are way up this year. The gas prices don't seem to have any effect.

Oil prices, and consequently gas prices, have been declining since Feb. so that may have some effect. But I think there's more to it than that. The cost of air travel is climbing with all the new fees being added and consumer confidence indices has been climbing, albeit unsteadily, since November. And considering RV sales for the last few years there's some pentup demand.

One of the reasons we bought our PUP was to use it as a motel on wheels. In the last 3 yrs. we've taken vacations to SD (Badlands and Mt. Rushmore area) and the East Coast (Gettysburg, DC, Williamsburg). Next month is Cedar Point for 4 days and Mohican SP. Next yr. hopefully Grand Canyon or Yellowstone. With our trip last week, I figure the PUP has already paid for itself by saving us on lodging.

The Somerset line looks like it should be a solid PUP based on Coleman's designs and Aliner's reputation for excellence. When it's time for the Bayside to go, It'll either be that or a hybrid.

There was a link to a tube video but I can't find it.  It must have been taken down cause it was on their website as well.  With the exception of a few improvements and demensions, they are exactly like the Colmane lines.  Even have the names. 

Oh, found it....
