Newbie here again. Is there a length restriction and some federal parks? And, if I do decide to buy new,is ordering much of a hassle?
My understanding is that Federal Parks have a 35 ft. restriction but many get in with larger units. We don't stay in them so it's never been an issue for us and we have traveled almost 70,000 miles in 7 yrs. I boondock once a year with RV buddies in Quartzsite, AZ, so I do use ours off the grid.
We are ordering our second new unit. I always like buying things new (cars, etc.), it's just the way I like it. I know there is depreciation involved and I'm fully aware of how much that is.
We have been 100% happy with our first ordered unit because it's just exactly the way we wanted it. No wishing we had this or that and no regrets. From my very realistic figures, I'm going to get almost 50% back from what I actually paid for our unit 7 yrs. ago. I don't think that is too bad.
Our second new unit will probably take me to my grave as I have no plans of replacing it unless I want to go much smaller in 30 yrs. when I'm in my mid 80's. Our new unit is being built to our exact specifications, colors, furniture, etc. and a custom 'one of a kind' paint job.
So, if you are wanting to buy new, special order it with the exact options that you want and you will never regret it.
