Thanks, joester.  We have taken a step back and are in a wait and see mode. 

Yikes.  I'll keep that in mind.  My plans were mainly to paint, remove carpet, remove recliner and dinette area, put down lightweight flooring.

My husband has vehicle maintenance in his blood -- he can't not change the oil, hoses, etc. "ahead of time."  I am the remodel type.  I have never looked at a used RV that I did not intend to remodel.  :-)  Thanks.

That was a good dose of reality.  I'd rather know that I might be kidding myself than find out later and I'd rather let go of a dream than have it turn into a nightmare.  :-)  We were definitely not going to buy from a dealer.  I will share this with my husband.

Thanks, Gary.  We drove up to a place recommended to us yesterday, only to find they had gone out of business.  We were planning on renting an RV there to see how we liked it.  The Class A would make a lot more sense for our lifestyle.  We are quite a distance from any dealers, so we will have...

Wow -- you have skills!  Thanks for showing photos.

I'd love to see how your project went if you have photos.

This is exactly what I envision, with the pets inside.  So many people have recommended a travel trailer to me, and that just wouldn't fit us.  Class B's are out, too. Since my first post above, we've had a lot of discussion, have continued to read and look at different models online, and my...

Wow -- that's great.  Are you living in it full-time?

Seiler Bird, we are going to look at some rentals tomorrow.  Thanks.

All of this input is really appreciated.  Whew -- so much to think about.  I've spent many hours reading, viewing various models for sale online, etc., trying to narrow down things for my husband to consider.  I think in our case a test trip is going to be essential.  Because of our dogs and...

Thanks.....still reading, looking, considering.  DH seems more amenable to the idea of traveling in an RV.

Thanks.  We definitely won't be going back to that dealer.

Thanks.  I think 28 feet would be incredibly tight, too, but that's a compromise with husband's thinking.  He did like some of the A's we saw at a dealership this week.  No salesman offered to come out and let us see them or anything, so we couldn't go inside.  I will show DH all of the...

For a long time I have dreamed of traveling the country in a huge RV?.but I also don?t like the reality of debt that would be required to do so.  Now that my husband is near retirement, we?ve been discussing the possibility of buying an older used RV, so we?ve been doing a lot of reading and...
