Quick thoughts, after owning several different kinds of "RV" over the years.
1. RVs are ALL bigger than you thought they were, and smaller than you will wish you had purchased after 3 years of ownership. If you are NOT ALREADY COMFORTABLE driving bigger rigs, then rent before you buy.
2. ALL RVs become projects over time, whether they are yours or someone else's that you purchase used. You will spend time and money maintaining the vehicle.
3. If you accept 1 and 2, then you will absolutely love being an RV owner. Take your time and buy the right unit...and DON'T RUSH THE PROCESS.
4. Enjoy!
