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?

It’s all about where you want to stay and where you want to go.
We met folks at a nice park in Maine with a few year old 45 Newell four slide, full timers.
Never had an RV before. Their friends did it, they thought they would like it, sold the house, bought the big coach, towed a Cadillac and were having the time of their life.
Went from RV Resort to RV Resort. More power to them.
We like the occasional state or county park. The longer you are the less spots you can find. Height is an issue as much as length.
I think starting too small is the bigger mistake but are you just going to weekend or maybe a week? Small probably ok.
Occasionally a week or two is a different rig than 2-3 months (or longer).
