Greetings everyone of this forum!

I am person who is interested in getting into Rving full-time when I'm old enough, and I'm thinking of importing an American RV to my country, but I'm stuck for what RV I want to get, I can't decide between a Class C, a Fifth wheel or travel trailer. I that may be difficult to answer but here's some things that may help:

I like feeling cosy, but I couldn't survive in a really tiny space.
I like the ability to boondock, I live in a Country that doesn't have many RV parks.
I live in a country that has really hot summers and very cold winters, i would like to travel to places in all season, we don't also get very heavy rains sometimes. So I need an RV that can do all kinds of weather kindly.

I plan on taking my RV across the border to a neighbouring country which has Semi and full deserts, and famously has a desert that meets the sea, where there are quite a few RV parks, the Air around the coastline can rust metal, so i will need a rig that's rust resistant.

I need a rig with a large storage space to carry not just living stuff but also pallets.

I need something that is easy to tow, (If it's a trailer or fifth wheel)

I live in a country with poor quality fuel, which may be a concern for a class C motorhomes.

I need something that's relatively easy to fix or source parts for, if possible.

I have quite a bit of tech so something with quite a few electric sockets is preferred.

I also need one that can accommodate a few people comfortably, i would like to have visitors.

I will also like an RV that doesn't contain harsh chemicals such as Formaldehyde

Any advice is welcome thanks 🙂

Sounds like you want a toy hauler TT. This eliminates all the complexity of the engine/chassis systems in regards to poor fuel quality. It also will come with a large door for loading pallets.

A large coach could easily get bogged on wet unimproved roads. You can disconnect the tow vehicle with a trailer set up.

Easy to tow is relative and primarily relates to size.

You will need a pretty robust towing vehicle and not sure what kind of large power vehicles might be available to you.

Good luck with the search.

One thing I've learned by watching off-road recovery videos on YouTube is to never disconnect the trailer. That turns one recovery into two. Most recovery companies would rather recover the truck and trailer as a unit.

I was thinking more on the lines of being able to get out of the boonies if needed.
