Hello. I am brand new to the idea of full time living in a RV and its a bit daunting looking at all the different kinds out there, so I am asking for opinions after I give you a bit of a idea why I am considering this. Thanks in advance.
I have traveled for 30 years working as a electrician and now a construction supervisor traveling the nation and sometimes over seas working in data centers. My wife and I have been apart off and on the whole time, but the older we get, the harder its becoming to say so long, so since I make plenty to support us both, shes thinking of retiring early and traveling with me. Originally we looked at class A's, but they're so darn big and I've read that sometimes its hard to find places to rent long term in one. Then we looked at class C's, which is leading the race right now because she'd feel comfortable driving one and we could tow a car as well, assuming we got one big enough. Recently though I have been looking at these big slide in campers for a truck and thinking I could tow a enclosed car trailer with her car in it and have extra room for my woodworking hobby tools as well as extra space for stuff. Then when we go to the next job, usually lasting 6 months to a year at a time, she'd have her car, I'd have the truck and the slide in could sit at the campground. We really haven't discussed a budget, since this will be our primary residence, we're thinking less that 150k all in. I mainly work on the east coast to the mid west and occasionally Texas. Regardless of what we end up with, is there a app or a resource for finding long term slots for RVs across the nation? I know this is a lot, but if some of you could answer any of the above or opinions, I'd sure appreciate it, since I've been pretty much alone trying to figure all this out thus far.
Thanks again!!!
