Dec 19, 2022It seems like a lot of things point to getting a 24'.
- poor campsite and boondocking spot availability these days, places are very popular and longer spurs are taken first. Favorite campgrounds have 19'-21' site limits.
- I looked up online and seems like there're a lot more affordable options to put RV < 25' length in storage. Longer storage is harder to find/more expensive and I'll be moving back to Europe in a couple of years, but want to leave the motorhome in storage first
- maneuverability might be an issue with longer motorhome because of my inexperience, mountainous nature of places I need to go to, me having bad eyes and eyeglasses plastic frames limiting the field of vision, not having anyone with me to help parking, not having a toad to scout the road (but I guess I can carry a bicycle). Needing to do shopping in town, parking there, and to have more options than Walmart for that.
- longer tail alone can create problems, not all the above mentioned stuff related to parking, but also it can scrape more and I want to be one some rough roads (not 4wd kind of rough but still)
- 26' will likely fit where the limits are much smaller. At the same time not always and I'd be stressing out driving to places, wondering if I could fit it in or not. Some places I camp in, even a Camry isn't easy to park, that's how small the spurs are. I get tired from long drives and become lousy at parking.
I came up with the idea to gut some furniture out and put it in storage if I get 24'. My camping furinture I use in the house (I never use regular furniture, only camping cot and chairs) is small/narrow. I can free space by removing RV furniture that isn't of any use to me anyway. I have no use for sofa, swiwel chair, or table seats.
