Thanks so much for your response. I will check on the dryer name and ask if its vented outside or not. Your info is a huge help.
We are getting a Wilderness Advantage 5th wheel, 36.5', 4 slides. We had a 5th wheel before (in 1998) and lived in it full time about 4 years. We loved it. It had 2 slides, no w/d and was 31'. It has been almost 3 years since we've lived in one. We looked at tons and tons of RVs and always found one thing or another that wouldn't meet our needs. This one does. I need an office/desk area to do my work (as a medical transcriptionist) and this RV has one in the bedroom, and my hubby will use the dining table for his desk/office (he's a claims adjuster). It had to be light enough weight for our truck (3/4 Dodge with the new type engine thingie), which it does. It's roomy. I'm so happy about the roominess of this one. It's probably not for everyone, but for us, it will be perfect.
We are excited about RVing again. RV people are the greatest. My hubby ran an RV resort in Houston for about 3 years and we met the most amazing people. We are in our early/mid 50s and will be working for quite some time and hope to be RVers for quite some time.
Thanks again for your response to my question.
