Hi, and thank you for reading this.
I have never owned an RV before, but I am thinking of purchasing one - and the thought makes me want to forget the whole idea all together!
I have travelled a lot, and I love the freedom of the open road. I even got to the point where I experimented with car camping, first in a car, then in a SUV. I loved the snuggliness of sleeping in an SUV, but there is no way I would want to do that long term.
So, I am thinking of graduating to an actual RV. The problem is, I have heard so many terrible things about purchasing RVs - people literally driving off the lot and the things are starting to need repair! How scary!
I am also planning on doing this myself, with just me and my dog, so I would not have the burly hands of a man - or the elegance of a very skilled woman - to rely upon if things go haywire.
So, that is where you come in!
What RV would you recommend that is the LEAST likely to have problems, and the most likely to hold everything together for full-time life-on-the-road?
I need something under 5,000 pounds, as that is my towing limit - and yes, I would be towing with my V6 SUV. I also plan, as mentioned above, to live in the RV full time. (After car camping, even a 3500 foot RV would be relatively spacious! I can stand up! I can shower! WOW! I feel alive.)
Something that can handle the four seasons would also be good, just in case.
I have looked at the Winnebago Winnie Drop, but have heard mixed things.
Are there any small RVs out there that have a great reputation for not having problems?
Your thoughts will be very appreciated. Thank you again for reading!
