Can't go wrong getting a 3500 DRW right out of the gate. Also cannot go wrong getting a used unit, preferably only a year or so old with all the new rig bugs worked out of it.
The big thing is to do the research first. I lurked here for over 2 years, went to the Hershey, PA show twice, went into dealerships whenever I could, set out a brutal list of what was wanted, what were must haves & what would be nice to have, made a spreadsheet & started the checks & the crosses.
Real quick we were down to less than a half dozen possible models. Then we went looking. None of our possibles were plentiful online so it took a bit of time for the right one to pop up.
Almost 11 years later we still have it. No regrets, no itch for something else. First one is the right one. That is what taking your time to research gets you. Saves tens of thousands in churning over one RV after another never happy.
