Re: Motor homes

My wife and I found that private RV campgrounds were often loud and filled with drunken louts.

Not tolerated in State Parks...

Re: Motor homes

TAM,

Did you get stabilizers?

If not, get them installed before you pick it up.

They're inexpensive and you'll thank yourself a thousand times for getting them.

Re: Motor homes

TAM,

Yes, rent first.

You may find you love it or that it's not for you.

I owned an RV (trailer) that I lived in for months at a time. Eventually, I got to really dislike it. Not just the living in a metal box, but the whole enchilada of owning it. I eventually gave it to my daughter who never used it and then finally sold it with my blessing.

If you decide to buy, get it insured. When I had my trailer, bought new, the insurance premium was very low. However, I don't know if used RV's can be insured or what the premiums would be if they can be insured.

I don't know about you, but the stress of driving, either pulling a trailer or driving a behemoth motor home can be significant. Though I used the heck out of my trailer, whenever I had to pull it to wherever I was going, I was on pins and needles until I arrived. Then I'd go through the giant hassle of setting up. This exercise can be a significant stressor too.

Much like JALLEN suggested, I would lay on the couch with a cool cloth on my head and let this idea pass.
