Are there any truly unlimited data plans out there?  We've got Verizon with 2 cell phones and a MiFi for internet - and while we pay for unlimited data, the speed drops to a crawl after 15 gigs.  We are on a 6 month adventure, and use a lot of internet for business type stuff, as well as keeping...

Thanks! ;-)  We bought the Itasca, had looked at a MinnieWinnie 22r too, and they were virtually identical except for the name on the exterior - plus we like the idea of driving around in something called Spirit.  ;-)  A few other more mundane reasons too (mileage vs price for one). 

Signed the papers yesterday, go through pre-delivery inspection on Wednesday and learn all the details.  Thanks to all the info on this forum I feel confident we made the right choice for us.  It's about 15 months til I retire (husband already retired), which gives us time to take some shorter...

We're seriously considering a Minnie Winnie or Itasca Spirit 22r - looking at 2015 and 16 models.  The engine is a V8 rather than a V10 and I'm wondering if anyone out there has one and how it performs?  I'm remembering college days with a VW bus going over mountain passes at 10 mph.... Not been...

Michelle & Rick - Congrats!  We're seriously considering a used 2014 22R Minnie Winnie with 20,000 miles.  We love the size and layout.  Any advice now you've had it a couple months? Marie & Kent looking and researching and dreaming ;-)

We are in the same place - researching and experimenting.  Rented a 22 foot c class for 5 days as a test - we passed! ;-)  Rainy and cool kept us more inside than expected, and all was successful.  Learned things we like and don't (corner bed OK for us and will want an upgraded mattress, living...

Thank you all for the info - appreciate it very much!

Hi all - We're still in the RV research phase (we=couple in our early 60's, husband retired, wife working another year or so).  We're renting a small C class next week ;-) to check it out for ourselves.  Right now we're thinking smaller C class, 2005 to 2013, corner bed.  Nothing else on the...

Gently used - 2 to 3 years or so - sounds like a good plan.  What kind of mileage might that be to get the initial bugs worked out?  We're looking at smaller Class C models and I've seen a significant variation in mileage in those 2 - 3 year old rigs.

We're just in the looking stage, and new to this forum. I've done a lot of looking for a good online site with reviews and not found anything.  The NADA value guides are helpful for price, and I know our credit union uses that value for approving loans.  We did purchase a Motorhome...

Greetings - My husband and I are looking at RVs, planning for retirement in about 2 years.  We've done some initial research and looked at quite a few RVs at several dealerships.  We don't have firm plans, but here's what we think we're looking for so far: Class C or B+, used 2005 or newer...
