Greetings to all!
I have been looking through this site and it has a wealth of practical information! You'all make it great! I wish for your help and wisdom in my search for a TT!
My wife and I have decided to sell our house and move into to a smaller place in Utah. We have a golden @ 70 lbs about 5 years old. Quincy, our golden, will come with us on our trips. We will be needing an RV for extended travel to the New Orleans area for volunteer relief work. When I say extended stays, thats about 1 to 3 months, possibly more at one time. Then travelling back to Utah.
This is a research phase as I am still concentrating on selling our house but possible about the same time that this house is sold, we may need to use this TT as a temporary home so as to get a small place in Utah without the tension of not having a place to stay or renting :'( :'( Everything else will go to POD.
This may go on for a couple of years so I was looking for an RV for this purpose. I had decided on a TT since once arriving I will be using the TV to run around town. I was thinking about an SUV (Suburban for Example) or my wife has always wanted a Volvo station wagon. This could double as a transport to ferry a few volunteers around once there. Of course, this all depends on the weight being towed as I have learned on this site and the potency of the vehicle.
Anyhow, I had thought that a 30' to 35' would be fine for us and a possible 2nd couple, for these trips. I would need a small office and Internet access. I already have Internet access with my Nextel, however, I am also looking at alternatives in case I have no signal. I still need to be on call for work :-\ I don't mind purchasing a used TT but am open to any and all suggestions. I defer to your experience.
Of course, I will be RV'ing to other destinations to wind down. So, this will also be used for fun time ;D
I have read about others on this site that are newbies and appreciate the candor with which you'all respond. I hope this is enough info to get started on getting your advice. As to financials, I am looking at about 60 to 70K for the purpose of setting this up. Comfort is important as well as space since this may be a permanent temporary home (?) for 6 months. Not sure if I explained myself there. :-\
Thanks...
Off the wall, I was looking at the A/C on these RV's and haven't found any indicating a Split Air type system. Do any of you know if this can be an option? These are extremely quiet and I have installed a few in my home 9300 BTU's each. I'm sure the less noise in an RV the better! As well as electrical consumption, which Split Airs are notorious for sipping electricity. Thanks again...
