DW doesn't really need her own space. When she's had enough of me, she'll just go lay down on the bed with a book and tune me out. Ha.
I certainly appreciate all the info, opinions, suggestions and ideas.
My arthritis isn't so bad that I can't handle stairs. It takes me ten or fifteen minutes to get the joints going in the morning and then I'm ok...unless I sit for a long period and then I just have to start over with loosening up the knees. A shot in the knees every few months helps, too. But steps in a FW aren't an issue in the overall scheme of things.
Based on everyone's replies, and considering our needs and wants, I've decided to go with a FW. I will look at 5ers in the 2006-2011 range and around 30' in length. We do want to be able to camp in national parks once in a while. Does anyone know what is the max length FW the national parks will allow in their campgrounds?
I'll look for a 5er that is towable by a 3/4 ton truck. I definitely want a diesel.
DW & I agree on all this because she trusts me. She only wants to be in charge of organizing the dishes and sheets and towels, and making sure there is room for the books she wants to read. Works out pretty well. I get what I want and she's literally a happy camper. And we all know that when mamma's happy, everyone's happy.
Once we've purchased our truck and FW, I'll be sure and put a picture up.
Again, thanks for all the replies. Really appreciate the input.
