Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Just curious.. No matter how much research you do , it seems there is no substitute for owning and using a MH.. Anyone buy one and then realize you made a mistake on the first one.. If so, how did you...

Seems funny to continued a thread that has existed for 11 years :):)but......
We broke into the RV world just shy of 2 years ago with a purchase on eBay of all places. Flew from Maryland to Ohio and drove it home. Bought a 95 Fleetwood Southwind 33L. Was she perfect...not by a longshot, but it was well within our budget so that was the kicker. Our hardest lesson was in finding a place locally that knew what the hell they were talking about or what they were doing. After more than a couple of grand in the inspections and initial manditory "fixes", I was questioning our choice.
I've put as much into the vehicle getting it back to great (new roof, all new tires, services gen, furnace, heaters, slowly upgrading all lights to LED, etc, etc. We have absolutely no regrets. It's used at a minimum of every three weeks going SOMEWHERE (even though its the DW driving it because I'm deployed). She's already looking at upgrading to a dual slider for more interior room, but she loves "Grandma's Bus" as the kiddies call it.
If I had to do it again, I would have researched further and gone to look at more of them, but over-all, we did just fine.
