Is it possible to "drop" a truck camper and occupy it like a tow-behind.  Are they designed this way?  Easily stolen this way>

Thanks for all the replies.  I purchased an iphone 6 and signed up for a 2-yr data plan with verizon.  Their Edge "no-contract plan" requires 24 monthly payments on the phone which would have ended up costing an additional $100 for the phone, so I just bought a 16GB one for $200.  Suppose to get...

Reached a "domestic roaming" limit for the first time this month on my Sprint iPhone.  I suspect it was due to all the GPS I was streaming.  I understand verizon and at&t don't have domestic roaming limits like Sprint.  Who has the best cell coverage as far as RVer's are concerned.  I expect to...

Thanks for the reply.  Have been thinking about my needs over the past few days.  It rained all day today.  Poured at times.  How comfortable/roomy is a teardrop when it rains.  Cooking would be difficult or impossible, just like tent camping, unless there's somewhere to hang a large tarp. ...

I've been driving around Maine the last two weeks on a wildlife photography adventure in my 2000 Golf turbo-diesel. Love the fuel mileage, but not suitable for my needs. (That is so difficult to admit.)  Been tent camping and staying at hotels.  Don't mind doing so, but need another vehicle to...

Thanks for all the replies.  Lots of good info to consider and digest.  As far as valuing RVs, is nadaguide the best, or one of the best.  I bet there's a sticky regarding that that I didn't look for.

Thanks for the replies.  I would buy USED, but I would need to sell it after my summer adventure.  I'm concerned that it would take forever to sell and would only get a fraction of what I paid. 

I'm considering a one or two month travel vacation in the US and was wondering how expensive it is to rent RVs.  Are Class A units available to rent or only Class C.  Are there certain rental companies to avoid?  What are the reputable companies.  GoRVing.com hasn't been very helpful in that...

Yes I'm aware Kev. Poor choice of words on my part. I certainly wouldn't expect a return of on a 6-8 month investment of any kind. I'd be overjoyed to break even when selling.

Thanks for the replies.  I should have included more info in my question.  Gary hit the nail on the head.  I am new to RVing.  In fact, I've never stayed in an RV.  I've been considering buying a used one for a 6-8 month trip in the U.S.  I was hoping to depart this fall/winter, but it seems...

I'm finding with every question that I research and answer, I find several more to answer.

I won't call them an artist of any kind.  So many people fall for these scams.

I'm considering a 6-8 month U.S. trip in a fifth wheel or Class A motorhome.  I may have to depart Virginia's east coast in late fall or winter.  Besides southern Florida, Texas New Mexico and Arizona, where is it safe to RV in the winter where RV lines and my butt won't freeze.  What latitude...

Thanks for all the feedback guys.  It helps a great deal.  My motivation for wanting/considering RVing is to see the country and do an enormous amount of wildlife photography while I can.  I'll have to get a real job and get back to a routine a year or so afterwards' depending on how much I spend. 

Hey Everyone.  I'm in my 50s and at a stage in my life where I'm considering a drastic change.  Actually, I quit work last year and I'm about to sell my house.  One idea that I've been considering is a year or more of RVing, but I can't seem to find data about how expensive it is to live at...
