Another beginner with RV wanderlust...

Hi Rebecca: Dakzuki's point is right-on. The RV life style is one many people, esp. on these boards, enjoy very much. But, with the RV life comes some issues that you may or may not be aware. First, take an RV rental to a nearby campground and learn how to park, back-up, level, and hook-up. Learn how to dump sewage (black-tank), & gray water. Learn how to fill the fresh water tank. Learn all about the heater/AC, generator, etc. and see if you like doing these kind of chores. They are all part of the RV lifestyle.
Also, like most hobbies and especially expensive ones like RVing, you will need to devote some time year round to take care of the RV, whether you are on the road or not. For example, you reported that you are currently in Minn., which means you would have to winterize the RV. Additionally, if your RV has a generator, most need to be "exercised" monthly.
These points are not to discourage you. But, rather to help you decide if the lifestyle is one that you would enjoy, and that you go into any RV purchase with your "eyes wide open". Best wishes for success! Perhaps we will see you down the road.
