Sorry All, I'm new to this so misunderstood what Boon Docking meant (I'm a foreigner so what can you expect!!!) What I meant was basically any type of location where no hook ups were available.
We have a pretty good budget. Up to 200K. A used 40-42ft Tiffin or Newmar Class A is within that range including the cost of a TOAD. Also, a used DRV (or similar quality) and a good F350 is easily in that range.
Maybe I'm being naive about the type of RV'ing we'll do but I imagine wanting to be able to turn up in a park or somewhere else scenic, deciding to stay for a few days and having the freedom to run the AC etc without having to worry about running out of fuel and fetching/carrying refills etc. We're both sailors and spent a year living in the caribbean on our boat. We liked the freedom of living at anchor rather than in crowded marinas so a boat with a generator and big tanks make that easy.
We both like walking and hiking so being able to camp close to trails/nature is also important. Another thing that NOW worries me is that suggestion that 5er's can go places that Class A's can't. Is the Class A very limited or is it just for the most out of the way places?
thanks.
