JohnnyT - Thank you for this article. We have spent almost a month trying to decide if a Class A motor home is right for us. After reading all of the comments regarding heat, maintenance, windshields, ride height, parking, etc., I am leery of my ability to keep up with it all. I built and raced cars in my teenage years and do all the maintenance on 3 boats and 2 snowmobiles now but it seems that there is so much to consider to properly maintain all the equipment on an RV that I'm not sure I want to sign up for it all.
I started the same way you outline in your article trying to decide how we will use it. We want to spend two months in Arizona in the winter and will take trips during the summer throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Could someone please put the maintenance in perspective for me. We own a home in town and another at the lake and it seems to me that this would be a third home to maintain. We'd love traveling with our two dogs and I really like to drive but I don't want the RV to be something we have to worry about constantly.
Thanks to anyone who can help make this decision easier.
