Motorhomes

Our coach was so new you could tell just by looking at it. Four slides; weren’t many of those around. The big single piece windshield; that was distinctive; not many of those. Now, two years later, it’s not so special. It is still shiny and nice, but no so unique. Almost all new coaches have the big windshield and four slides. There are plenty of new coaches on the road now.

We can look at twenty-year old motorhomes, and no matter how well they have been taken care of, you can tell they’re old. The designs have changed. They don’t have any slides. The windshields have a big bar down the middle. The resting position for the windshield wipers leaves them up in the driver’s view.

Which leads us to wonder: what will coaches be like twenty years from now? We can see ourselves still in this coach in twenty years. People will see us driving by and tell their children, “Kids; that’s what motorhomes used to look like.”
