Does RV size matter?

Reading through the postings and there is a smattering mention of RV size, albeit without any true definitive consensus.

I have a 2008 39 foot Class A Winnebago Destinttion and tow a 2015 Subaru Forester. By the time I retire, the RV will be 14 years old, and well maintained.

What should I be concerned about?
  • You should be concerned about waiting another 6 years to retire. Retire as soon as your can and enjoy life.

    Is this a general question or relative to traveling to Alaska?

  • Whatever works on each individuals case is the best way I think. We are planning on going full time and selling our home in two more years. We have a 40' 2001 Beaver coach in great condition. We have thought about selling it and buying a newer coach but after carefully thinking about it we have decided to wait until we are on the road and then in a few more years do it.

    Your relationships, your health, your finances. Beyond that have fun, be safe, and take it as it comes. :). That's what DW and I are doing and it's working for us.
  • Size is a personal choice. Some could live in a Pop Up, others may feel a 45' Prevost is a little small for their lifestyle.

    I would have been happy going into retirement with a well maintained 14 year old Winnebago Destination.
    If you like the Winnebago, keep it. JMO :)
