It is more than likely that we will spend max 1 month at a time at one site. We really like to venture at new places. Since we plan to move around a lot, I worry about finding appropriate camp sites.
While I applaud your enthusiasm of "max of 1 month at a time", the setting up, tearing down, loading and unloading to equipment every 4 weeks might become tedious and more like work than RVing fun & relaxing. Just what is so for me and am not attempting to rain on your RV parade. RVer's are unique by definition:) I RV about 6 months a year. Baseed on your proposed RV schedule, I would be sure and buy the Good Sam trailer book and use the GS RV trailer application on the computer. Suggest you also look into a Emergency Road Side Service plan.
djgarcia - so are you saying that a 32ft Mobile Suite won't fit in most of the state parks?
About 5 yrs. ago this was the limitation I ran into in California State Parks and the number of slides you have becomes a factor in these parks.
The truck we plan to buy will be a 3500-series dually with a Diesel engine so it should be able to handle quite a bit of trailers.
Suggest you also install an "Exhaust Brake" for that diesel.
Veebyes, what's a "CA SPs"? "TC"?
We are more than likely to choose models from DRV Mobile Suites, Excel Winslow or Lifestyle and all starts at either 31 or 32ft.
