I am considering - seriously considering - taking a few years to see the country. Fly fishing will be an integral part of my travels. I will be living full time as a single on/off the road. My plan is to purchase a small Class C that can tow a jeep wrangler JKU. I am an experienced hiker/camper/general outdoorsman and have enough camping gear to outfit a scout troop - but I'm done with it. Here is my dilemma: the reviews. One article states the 5 best RV's are these (five). One article states the 5 worst RV's are these (five). Or 7, or 10 or whatever. The RV brands to avoid are these [ x,y,z]. I've never owned one, spent a fair amount of time as a guest in several - I have no clue of the brands. Rented one from RV America (I think) and my first experience driving one was ten years ago from Bakersfield to Sequoia NF through Kern Canyon in the dark in the middle of a nasty snowstorm - I was passing vehicles that couldn't make the climb in the snow. Anyway...
The reviews and recommendations: One model appears in the RV's to avoid, yet the same model appears in the "best" - top 5 - to purchase.
Based on my own desires and needs I was interested in the Thor small class C with '0' slides. I don't want a slide, I don't need a slide. Recent reviews tell me to 'run away' from Thor. Some say to 'run away' from the Minnie Winnie'. Others say the MW is a good purchase. I do not want a 'sprinter' type. The 'minnie winnie' is interesting - NO SLIDE - but if I must for the bed only I may consider it. I plan to go 'off grid' so to speak - not rely on 'campsite' with shore power etc. So a 4K generator or comparable is a must.
So my real question is: Where can I find reviews that are not slanted, and by someone who has no 'skin in the game' so to speak? Or is this an act of futility?
Thanks, Brain
