My future life plans

[Retro70s]

Yes, I'm wanting to live full-time in a Class A motorhome, Class Cs seem too small for me. (the lack space for elbow room)

The brands I like the most are the Fleetwood GTX and the Coachman Sportsman RD, both have an option for office space.

I'm wanting to move to Kansas City, MO, and I'd love to settle into one of their local motorhome/trailer parks or KOA.

I'm an inactive person so I'd mostly be applying a sit-down work from home job.

I plan to share the motorhome with one dog, and one cat.

If you're wanting to settle into a park, why do you want a motorhome? For the cost of a Class A you could get a 5th wheel or travel trailer and a pickup truck to tow it and use for local transportation.

There are several advantages to living fulltime with a truck and trailer versus a motorhome. The biggest is separating the drive train from the house. If/when a motorhome requires major repairs you have to do whatever it takes to fix it or you'll lose your entire investment. With a truck/trailer you can replace the truck if repairs get too expensive. Or you can change the trailer without losing your investment in the truck.

It's harder to find a shop that can make mechanical repairs to a motorhome compared to finding someone who can fix a pickup truck. When maintenance or repairs are needed to a motorhome your whole house has to go into the shop. With a truck and trailer you can take the truck to the shop while your trailer stays in the campground.

You don't need a large. dually pickup unless you also get a large, heavy trailer. Most travel trailers and smaller 5th wheels can be towed perfectly fine by smaller, F-250 style pickup trucks.

To follow on from Lou, if you aren’t planning on traveling, you can hire someone to move it to the campground you intend staying long term in. That lets you keep your current vehicle if it isn’t capable of towing a big rig.

Good Lord, let him have a MH.

It's me again.

After research and consideration, I've learned that the Renegade Classic 2609 is the best motorhome match for me. I love how it has an actual garage that a small (EV) car could fit inside. That solves the drive thru issue that motorhomes have. (plus having a tiny EV in your motorhome is a wonderful idea for pet owners when sick pets need to be rushed to an animal hospital)

I'm wanting to ask the Renegade dealers if they allow their MHs to be modified with a small work office space, and one of those RV style drawer dishwashers.
