Why we chose our Lark

Our Lark chose us. We did all the usual studying and reading and watching every YouTube about RVs.  We compared size and weight and extras and length and power and what kind of fuel.  We compared cost and value which was a big consideration for us.  We have always been liberal thinkers and lean towards liberal politics but we've always been conservative in how we handle our money.  No debt, but ready to spend some hard earned savings-carefully.

That is how we turned camping into "glamping" in the Lark. We knew we were looking for a few years old, low mileage and about 25 ' length. If you think of the "Cruise  America" rentals on the highways, that seemed to fit our needs and wants. A permanent bed with a great mattress, a usuable kitchen and bath and regular gasoline. OK, Ed wanted a diesel for sure, but cost didn't balance need.  We would have had to drive until we were 101 it pay off the diesel cost.

Every once in a while we were finding ourselves on a RV lot...just looking, of course.   On one of those trips last summer, there she was, just waiting for us.  A bit bigger, what's an extra 5 feet and with a super paint job. She was sleek and sassy. Came with a modern marvel, 3 slide outs. Slide outs let you convert an 8 foot wide camper into a 12 foot wide apartment and you can walk around the bed. Seriously!  She had a convection oven, microwave and a serious cooktop. A leather or leather-like (not sure how much you can trust an RV dealer) couch, dining table, full sized shower, full bath, queen bed (always a queen short-who knew).

Her former owners license  plates were still on, low mileage and we owned her in record time.  Made the RV salesman's day.  So we went from camping to glamping...def.  glamor camping!
