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...

Dollar98,
We shopped for nearly 3 years before buying our first MH. Went to the big RV Show in Pomona, CA 3 times, (eventually buying at the Show). Thought we wanted a D/P, but after a good, hard look at the trade-offs vs. Gas, the gas made more sense for us. I wanted a pulling gorilla, and got it with the 8.1L Vortec on the W22, 30' MH.
Love it... of course we had our shakedown problems, but everybody does... no matter how much, or how big you buy.
My opinion: Unless you buy high (very high end) end, they all have similiar features... and typical problems. We also did not opt for slide-outs...or wide body, so perhaps we minimized our headaches. For our 2-4 week trips, it works for us. Take your best shot and go for it.
Best advice: Buy it at a show, you can save a bundle...
