My wife and I had our first motorhome experience during the first week of October when we rented a 25' Thor Citation.  We did not know what to expect and had an absolute blast.  (Only a couple of Robin Williams (RV movie) experiences,  one of which left me and our 15 year old dog 6 inches from...

"I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know But I'm still willin' " Sorry.  Couldn't help myself!

I am in a similar situation and left this past Saturday in a rental for a week.  It's a Class C on the Mercedes Sprinter platform which is the closest I could find to the Class B that I'm really interested in.  It's expensive, but I figure worth it for the introductory experience.  But, I'll...

Thanks much, JudyJB!  Very helpful precautionary advice!

I feel your pain and sure appreciate the suggestions posted here.  I'm heading out on my first ever RV trip in about two weeks and this sounds like something that would happen to me!  Pls keep us updated on when you fix the problem which I'm sure you will do. For the experienced RVers out...

FLS = Forum Laziness Syndrome.  I'm posting my own reply because I committed the cardinal sin in forums which is to mindlessly put up a new post before researching the question in the forum.  I just scrolled down this forum and found many posts that answered my questions.

Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions!  I appreciate having this info prior to me heading out on the road!

Yes.  Included.  Citation Mercedes diesel 24ST.  Not exactly the Class B I was looking for but appears very nice. For purchase I'm interested in the more extended type van units.  But as I said originally, this will be my maiden voyage and who knows where it will lead!

Hi everyone!  I'm an absolute novice renting our first RV (in anticipation of buying) during the first week of Oct.  Heading down to Taos.  My preference is to stay as much off the grid as possible but I know that I'll have to empty the gray and black water tanks, fill up with water and...
