Here's a wish list for our dream RV:
- rear garage (or at least a side garage) - this is a MUST to keep our 2 mountain bikes safe, secure, and out of the way.
- reliable, strong, low maintenance drivetrain (we can dream)
- low rust
- able to cruise at 65-70mph comfortably
- ground clearance is a plus, since we travel on a lot of dirt roads
plans:
- 4,000 lb 4x4 toad
- no blackwater tank, we will use a composting toilet
- lots of solar panels and batteries
- induction burner and solar oven for cooking (no propane stove, over, or microwave needed)
- heavily insulated
- small fridge, we don't need a full size fridge
ideas that are still up in the air:
- propane free?
- wood burning stove?
- length? 32-35 feet seems ideal
- diesel hydronics heater?
- build a school bus up?
We have never owned an RV before, so it's a big step for us. We're doing the best we can to research and try stuff out, but we'll be browsing the forums hard and we are more than open to your suggestions and input.
