I'll have my GF read your post. She'll say it's a conspiracy. ;D

You have a point here, since we expect to be boondocking quite a bit.   From your rv dealer? As an upgrade? That's interesting. Any link that I could check?   We certainly would love a molded-in sink... Was that an upgrade too? The Thor ACE I mentioned in my OP have a tv either hung up on...

I've been trying to convince my GF that a Sprinter is way to small and that a 24 footer is a minimum. After reading advice here, i'm slowing convincing her that 30 feet would be better. I don't want to push my luck and try to sell her the idea of a 35 feet MH. :) Also, since we'll somehow be...

Thanks Bill, I'll download that ebook.

Hi everybody, After seeing hundreds of floorplans in the last weeks, we came up with these criteria for our first class A, in which we should spend winter months (we're two soon-to-be snowbirds) 1) 30F (31 is ok but not more) 2) large kitchen countertop (we love to cook). Not talking about the...

Thanks for the comments. Since we live up north, travelling at least 3000 miles (return) is a minimum if we want to spend the winter months wearing shorts. :) That's a good question. The answer isn't simple. Let's say I'd like to have more money set aside. But then who doesn't? Approaching my...

I just did the math today. Let's say that a gallon of gas is 3$ (or that's the price it will be by the time I retire). Let's say 6000 miles for our first winter and 7 MPG. It means 857 gallons or 2571 USD worth of gas. Wow. So it would be about half that price for a 24F Mercedes based class C...

Hello all, we spent a lot of time lately looking at RV floor plans. Sometimes we find one that seems ok when it comes to storage and floorpan but the deal breaker is the countertop being way too small. And we don't like split sinks. My question: If we find a floorpan we like, is it an easy...

Could you mention a few 50A MH in the 30F range that you know of? Thanks

I must add that we would like to have solar panels on top because we would like to boondock regularly. I guess that would help quite a bit to have the solar panels?

Our plan is to travel south from November to April. Will we like it? I don't know. Maybe after our first winter as retirees we'll realize that we get homesick after 2 months (we spent 2 months in Thailand a few times when we were younger and although I absolutely love Thailand, after a month or...

So you mean that even though your rv is 50A you can still plug it on 30A? Is it the same kind of plug? I guess you can't do the opposite i.e. plug your 30A MH on a 50A outlet (i guess it would be like plugging a 110V appliance in a 220V outlet?)

Just convincing my GF to ditch the class B Winnebago View idea is going to take me the 4 years that are left until I retire so I think i'm not going for the long ball and try to talk her into buying a 30+ MH!

Hello, Read that there were 2 kinds of MH: 30A and 50A. Googled to learn what the difference was but what I found was technical with explanations about how many neutral and hot pins in each etc, which left me clueless. I'm new here, just trying to figure out what kind of rv would be ideal for...

Glad to see that boondocking lakeside is feasible even with a 30F rig. Is that pretty much the case in every state? (lake, ocean, whatever, as long as there is water we are happy).
