Hello all,
My name is Mike. I am looking at purchasing a used Class A motorhome for my family to use supporting ourselves at about 20 off-road motorcycle racing events throughout the year and the occasional family excursion to a vacation destination. We have previous experience with Weekend Warrior toy hauler trailers, winter RV camping in Alaska, towing racing trailers from Alaska to Florida and back. I have currently been using a 26 foot bumper pull enclosed trailer, that we have set up with bunk beds, microwave and refrigerator. Trailer is insulated and air conditioned plus we have a plug in heater if the temps drop. We live in Florida, so it rarely gets cold. I pull the trailer with a 2007 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 liter, it has a trailer towing package, I use a load leveling hitch and have the truck outfitted with airbags. I have 12 ply tires on the trailer. We have two small Honda EU 2000 inverter generators that we connect that allow us to run our devices. This unit serves our purposes for a night or two of camping but we are looking to have a shower, toilet and more luxurious accommodations during our lengthening weekend stays.
I am interested in picking the minds of active RV folks who know the brands to lean toward, and those to avoid at all costs, and a little bit of everything in between. Some of the areas we travel to are quite rugged to get into and out of. The pros and cons of diesel pusher RV's vs. Gas , etc. I appreciate all responses and look forward to sifting through sound advice. We would likely sell our enclosed trailer and get a shorter motorcycle trailer to pull behind our new Class A.
