My hubby retires from the Fire Department in May and we intend to pack up our five year old daughter and start full-timing it. We have NEVER owned an RV. Since my husband is still busy with work, it falls to me to do all the research in order to begin this new adventure and I feel overwhelmed! This forum has been a great resource!
We intend to purchase a Class A Diesel somewhere in the states and tow something, but what? (we need a new car anyway) Where do I find information about what I can tow four wheels down? Does it matter what MH I have? Are there other considerations?
Cummins or CAT?
Any of you Canadians? What do you do for Cell phone? I find it's wicked expensive to use my cell phone in the states! Also, if you're a Canuck, do you have any RV insurance recommendations?
What does everyone recommend for TV? Internet?
I have my eye on a couple of motorhomes on Ebay, a 2008 Monaco Safari Simba, 2008 Fleetwood Expedition, and a 2002 Allegro Bus by Tiffin. Any opinions, advice, experience with these? The Fleetwood and Allegro are no reserve auctions. Should I be concerned? i've checked out the sellers, all sounds good, but a 2008 for $50,000 sounds almost too good to be true. I've been browsing RV Trader as well, any other advice on where to buy?
Do you recommend membership in Family Motor Coach Association or similar organizations? Which is best?
I do most of my cooking on a BBQ, year round, even when its -20C. Do we bring a grill with us?
I'm sure I have many other questions. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!
