Yes, I meant small motorhomes.  You are right, they don't last long so I might wait until I move to Phoenix to buy what I want.

Hello All, I attempted to purchase a 19G Four Winds but someone beat me to it.  Small RVs seem to be rare here in the Northeast.  Do any of you know of good small RV's to look into (21 ft and under).  It will only be for myself and my dog.  I will not be living in it fulltime. Thanks Sue

Hello Everyone, Your comments, suggestions and advice were truly remarkable.  And after much decision I have decided to hold off on my purchase of my first RV.  It's a bit disappointing since I have been beyond excited about purchasing one soon, but I do realize that buying one in Arizona (when...

If I plan on buying in Phoenix won't I still have to pay a high sales tax?  I believe the state sales tax in Phoenix is the same or more than MA.  Are there extra fees MA has that Arizona does not?  Believe me, my first plan was to buy once I got settled in Phoenix, but again my main (and only)...

Hi Thanks for the great advice.  Yes, my original plan was to wait until I moved.  However, I need a temporary place to live while I am stuck here in MA.  I thought getting the RV now would be a good idea to live in while I am ready to move.  I'm dreading living in my friend's house and I...

Again, thanks everyone for your input.  Here is some clarification and some more questions.  I will not be using this RV for fulltime living.  It will be parked in my friend's driveway  and I will use it as my "mini" apartment until I can leave New England (which hopefully will be by the...

Yes, I agree.  However this particular model (Four Winds 19G) is no longer being made.  I love the small size of the unit and I'm afraid I won't find any that are this small in the future.  Would you still NOT recommend a new unit even if I got it at the same price as a used?  Currently I have...

HI I've been posting for advice regarding purchasing a 19G Thor Four Winds model.  The advice has been amazing.  However, I forgot to ask one thing.  This is a discontinued model.  Any red flags regarding buying a model that will no longer be manufactured? Sue

You people are awesome!  Thanks for some amazing advice.  And yes, the dealers are getting restless.  I just had one call me from the midwest (I live in New England) willing to negotiate a new unit vs the used one I am looking at locally.  I am determined to get the price that I want---to make...

HI Here's a very basic question:  How do you get television reception?  I was told by a dealer that I would have to purchase a dish that he said would be about $2000.  Is there a cheaper way?  I do want a lot of channels, not just local stations.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have experience owning/renting a Four Winds Thor 19G?  Friends who have seen the RV with me are trying to talk me out of it due to its very small size.  However, it will only be for me and my small dog.  Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, thanks everyone.  Your information was incredibly helpful.  Can I use and abuse everyone for more advice?  I have some long distance dealerships calling me non stop after I told them I was interested in purchasing their 19G.  Since I have a used one that is available locally, I didn't think...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking at a Four Winds Thor 19G motorhome for myself and my dog.  It's a 2010 model with only $2000 miles on it.  I have no idea how to figure out my asking price.  I want to give them a fair number, but I also want a great deal.  Any suggestions?? Their asking price is...

Hello All, I am a single woman who is actively seeking to purchase her first RV ever.  My problem is, whenever I am interested in a particular model I find it was sold to someone else the next day!  I found a dealer in Indiana who has plenty to choose from but I would have to fly out there (I...
