I agree with Geodrake.  There are pro's and con's to each type of rv and each family needs to decide which features are most important for them.  Plan on making some compromises no matter which type of rv you select. My advice is to establish a budget and stick to it,,,no matter what.  Its easy...

1,2,3, &5 are all about equal in my experience.  Cutting thru my site is the easiest to solve and can be solved without cg management,,the rest are harder.

Its almost funny,,when we are in our snowbird park, we rarely take the time to just relax,,there's always something going on, something to do, or somebody who wants to go somewhere.  For the 6 months we are there, it seems we are constantly busy. In the summer, when we move every week or more...

$1100 is going to be a real challenge, unless you get on monthly rates at an inexpensive cg,,or boondock.  You just wont have the funds to be able to move much.  We traveled 500 miles in the last two days,,burned $150 in diesel.  Take away fuel costs,,it would be possible,,but you might look...

Hence the small  c

Some dealers will throw in some extras, some wont.  Likely depends on how much profit the dealer is making. Items not likely to be included or to consider: Full propane tanks Tire chocks Storage containers Water hoses and an extension Clear connection for the sewer hose Extension for sewer...

I think the best way is to: communicate you wouldnt be interested at the current price,,,,but,,,the interest would be high at a lower price,,,then provide a way to communicate so the seller can get in touch if he changes his price/mind. This method allows the seller to retain ego, but also to...

Based on the amount of money they spend to advertise the whole program, its no wonder that it wouldnt appeal to most homeowners.  They are in business to make money, and take advantage of older folks that dont really understand the entire concept, except an increase in monthly income. I think...

I pull about the same weight with a stock Chevy 3500HD dually, 3.73 gears.  Pulling thru the rockies this year, the Allison transmission works great reducing the need to use the brakes on steep downgrades.  Pulling uphill, plenty of power, its just a matter of how much diesel you want to use and...

If you added your geographical location,,you might get some responses,,

We downsized from 3000 sq ft to a 36 ft rv,,and amazingly,,,had no problems at all adapting to a small living space.  The floor plans in rv's are specifically designed to maximize space and storage,, The one thing that helped us sell our house was that it was too big,,with lots of equity.  We...

Cheapest park we have stayed in was 185 per month, plus electric, and keeping the thermostat on 80 paid about 50 for electric. We seldom stay longer than a week during the summer so our costs go up for cg,s but electric is included,,average cost for us around,,150 per week,,but could be done...

Check out the blog site,,,,ourtravelswithrover.com Not only informative but also a great read as well

If it costs 39k, it might actually be a good thing,,cus its going to take lots of tools, labor hours, and spare/replacement parts to keep the darn thing going down the road.

I dont disagree with turning off the frig when traveling,,but you have just convinced me never to go to Maine,,I wouldnt have ever believed there could be 10 hours in one day in Maine where the temps were over 85,,glad you warned me.
