Hi
in April I rented a 19ft Class C from Cruise Am and knew I wanted to be a full time RVer the first night I slept in it.
If you buy one from them, they will credit you for any rentals from them.
So I too have been looking at used Class B+ or Class C units.
I found 19ft too small for living in full time, particularly as I had to climb up to the overcab bed (might be OK now but not when I'm 80!)
I'm looking at about 22-25ft long units that have bed on main level and feel spacious but I don't want slideouts.
I like the style of the class B+ but they are considerably more expensive and it's difficult to find used ones.
My biggest question is for any Canadians. Have you bought an RV in the US? If so, how costly is it to bring across the border? Given the low $Can, it may not save any money to buy one in US.
I was thinking of getting one in Alberta as they have no federal sales tax and Calgary is RV heaven for those looking for one.
After reading several messages, I'm looking at post rentals from Canadream which seems like a very good company.
Also appreciate any advice re paying more for a newer one or less for an older one. The decision seems rather daunting. I hope to have one by the end of Sept.
RV living, here I come!
