Hello Everyone:
Mike and Lisa here from Kansas City. Lisa and I hope to become RV gypsies in about 10 yrs when I plan to slow down my law practice. For now, we've decided to rent until we have more free time to justify owning our own rig. Our maiden voyage was in a 34' Hurricane that we drove to Mt. Rushmore in a whirlwind four-day weekend with our famiy of six. We're crazy gluttons for punishment and we loved it!! Next, we rented a 34' Fleetwood Expedition and took the family of six, plus one of our teenagers' friends (total of seven--three teenagers, one adult son, and our 10 year-old) on a 10-day tour of the Texas gulf coast. We bumped into, stepped over, and fought with each other the whole time--again, we all loved it.
The Expedition has me hooked on diesels--quiet, smooth ride, and plenty of power. That's a long intro to my questions: If we buy now, and only use the rig 3-4 weeks a year, is it worth owning (my willpower is fading fast and I'm itching to buy my own rig)? Does it make more sense to rent for now? And finally, I really want to try out some of the state and national parks, and am afraid that the size of a diesel will exclude us from some of those parks.
Ok, no more babbling, I promise.
