We have been camping for over 20 yrs. My wife has never had a interest in a fifth wheel or snow birding. Now how ever I am retiring in less than a year and she brings up fifthwheels and snow birding. So in a year or two it looks like this is going to happen. Right now I have a 2014 2500 HD Duramax short box 4x4. My questions are.
1 What is a comfortable size fithwheel to live in for 3-4 months?
2. What kind of safe for papers valuables?
3. What kind of parking fees in Texas, Louisiana am I looking at?
4. Anything else I should look at, at this stage of the game?
1. It's what is comfortable for *you*.
Some folks do that with small Class C and TTs to 5th wheels & MHs.
Even though what you want to do is part time, suggest you go to the
full time forum here, as well as on the -
Escapees Forums.
their forum list (the link will take you there) is just what you need
(BTW - HQ'd in Texas w/TX campground & lots of TX members)
2. With exception of "routine" paperwork, store important stuff you might need (medical info, etc.) online.
No matter what posters say, a safe in an RV is not safe..:(
3. Get a campground guide, check rates. Go to campground internet sites for - private, national, state, county parks - and do same.
4. You bet! - Game ON!..:B
Get out and *look* at RV shows, dealers, etc.
Make notes, save the brochures & floor plans, etc.
Have fun...:C
