I continue looking at the possibility of getting into an RV on a full-time basis. (You can check my introduction for more information about my current situation.)
Lots of pros and cons when considering a towable versus a motorhome. But I still find the motorhome very appealing.
As noted this would be for full timing. And only for one person. If I even got a pet, it would be a cat, not a dog. I would like to have a smaller unit. I know people here advise going larger than one thinks one needs, but I am somewhat of a minimalist in general. So I hope I could get something no longer than 30 ft.
I like the class A setup because of the ample storage.
Probably the only must-have beyond the usual amenities, would be a automatic leveling / stabilizing system.
I would want a dinghy. Something 5000 Lbs max. Either four wheels down or possibly on a dolly. (Note I am not looking for dinghy suggestions, just providing a max weight to help evaluate GCWR and such.)
I would be primarily moving around in the western US. So trying to avoid temperature extremes at either end of the spectrum. And especially avoiding snow and ice, LOL.
My plans would include driving into the High Country, namely the Rockies, in the summer. So I need a rig that could safely get up those grades at altitude, even if I did have to suck it up and get in the slow lane with the 18 wheelers.
With that information to go by, could anyone suggest some models to consider? These could be new or just a few years old.
