Hello all!
My wife and I just started talking (like within the past few days) about wanting to get an RV and start doing some camping. We love travel, but we're both absolute beginners when it comes to owning an RV. My family had a trailer growing up, but that was 20 years ago now.
What we know: We really want a Class C, preferably shorter than 28 feet (just for ease of driving, parking, etc, and also for price). After looking at some Thors and getting very interested in their design, we read on a few websites that their build quality is not that high and they often don't last too long before problems start to pop up. It was then that we realized we really need to know what we're doing before we rush out and buy something just because it looks nice. We also realized that we'd have to be willing to spend a bit more to get something high quality that will last.
I guess my questions would be, what advice could you offer to absolute beginners? What are things or "gotchas" that popped up when you first owned an RV that you wished you had known about before you purchased? What are some of the best Class C models that you can recommend that are not only comfortable but also built for durability, as this will be a very important feature to us. Thank you for your help, and I look forward to getting to know the community on here!
