45 footer as first RV
A friend just bought his first RV, a 45 foot DP. It got me thinking how many people buy a rig this size as their first RV or is it usually an upgrade?

Everybody has their own preferences. Myself, a 36' gasser is as big as we want to go. We travel without a toad since that makes it so much easier to stop on the spur of the moment to see things. When we were dragging a car, we drove past things we wanted to see as we just didn't want to go through the hassle of finding a place to turn around, maybe have to unhook, maybe not find parking. Even Cracker Barrels became off limits because while they almost all have RV parking, it is just converted double-space car area. Long enough for the coach but not with a toad. They are also usually in congested areas that just don't have room to park anywhere else. We now rely on Uber or car rental for destination mobility. Areas without those resources almost all have either shuttle service or everything is close enough you can walk to the amenities.
