Hello,
I am very interested in renting and maybe in future buying an RV, I don't mind the driving part, but I am worried a bit about Height and Size issues of RV's. Haven't been in one since I was a kid and miss it actually, wife never been in one and I have one daughter who is 6 who would love it I am sure. Thinking of 2-6 hr trips in our area (mid michigan) and would like to stay with a class c or b unit (not pull behind but not a big bus type thing) we want one we can drive and walk into the back area (vs cab and seperate box behind) also that is aprox 20-26 feet in length. I think an overgrown van might even do if its taller and longer and has some basics that fit taller bigger folks. I have only been in a few RV's in the past as a kid but I know i wouldn't fit in any of those booth style seating areas, aand I know I wouldn't fit in those tiny bathroom areas, altho does anyone make a unit that IS for big and tall in this size range?
I saw the Roadtrek 210 series online and those look very interesting, it would probably be like buying a second home cost wise... There is a show in mid Feb about 10 mins from me in Novi MI that I am thinking of going to see what they have in general...
I haven't gone to any shows or dealers yet, but I have seen many pics online and the bathrooms look worse than an airplane (ok at 360lbs 6'7 i am not fitting in there) and in general being as tall as I am I don't want to spend a week with my neck bent trying to walk around inside.
Wife is normal sized so no big deal but I don't want to be uncomfortable for these trips, oh I do know the bed will have to be plush (for wife) wondering too if anyone can steer me in the best direction for finding a GOOD feeling bed in one of these type units vs 3 inches of padding that you are supposed to sleep on overnight, might be ok for the 6 yr old but not for mom and dad here...
Popouts and all that extra fancy longer bigger stuff not neccesary, short local trips to stay 2-3 days for fun is all we are thinking so more of a smaller 20-26 feet long type vehicle would suit those needs I think...
Anyways if anyone here has any ideas what we can ask or look for to have more room (seating, head room, bathroom nicer bed etc) lmk.
I don't think I would buy just yet but would consider a rental or something, then maybe shop around for a good used deal etc, but mainly I am wondering is there even something out there that would fit our needs for big tall and actually comfortable bed wise?
