Follow-up on '99 Intrigue

Yahoo Message Number: 468
Thanks to all who provided feedback on my initial question about purchasing a '99 Intrigue.

We decided to test one out by purchasing a time share in one. For a fee (Actually should prove to be less expensive than renting a gas class A in the end), we don't have to maintain or store one while we toil away at corporate America. I think it would be detrimental to our careers if we were forced to look wistfully at the Intrigue (or for that matter even a pop-up camper) on the way out of the garage...

We'll be hitting the road early next month motoring north from Kentucky to (if all goes well) Nova Scotia via our little neck of the Connecticut Woods.

The coach is maintained in Phoenix and then driven around the country to the respective owners for their one month stints. So far everything has been smooth as far as the business side of the deal is concerned and we are eager to finally be able to give a high-end diesel pusher a test run.

Anyone with any advice about spending a few weeks in a '99 or the associated trip (especially going in and out of Canada and Nova Scotia in particular) feel free to post a reply or shoot an email my way.

Regards,
Kent & tracy

Connecticut Woods

Hi Kent and Tracy, look at my letter regarding NS. I'm a water color artist and I just absolutely love that place. It not all that far from us (NJ) and the ferry in Bar Harbor makes a great trip. Last year I heard that they changed the height restriction to 12' so you might want to check on that. The drive around is really pretty too and you get to see the huge tides in the Bay of Fundy. It takes about a day, maybe a day and a half to go from Bar Harbor to NS by road, lots of places to stop and see. Make sure you stop at the campground I mentioned, the lobster can't be beat. Happy Camping :) John

We spent three months touring Eastern Canada and the Eastern U.S. The biggest help were the AAA books as they cover all the local lore, events, etc. We had no trouble with lodging and rarely made advance reservations, usually same day call sufficed. There are wonderful golf courses and a good exchange rate. We have been motorhoming since 1979 and have spent almost a month in each state. Eastern Canada can't hold a candle to the Canadian Rockies. Alberta and British Columbia are absolutely gorgeous; we would highly recommended the West for your next sojourn. Good Luck.
