Hello JohnnyT
I am new to RV net as in birth time a few minutes ago.
We have not yet made purchase of our Class A but have been dedicating close to 25 hours a week researching everything and are very close to making purchase now. We are going to spend the next year as full timers. As you can imagine, right now we are like sponges, wanting to soak up any information from experienced RV'ers that we can find.
Your post dated 05/08/04 "First Time Buyer..One persons perspective" was incredibly helpful to me. For example, I had not thought about the dinette with chairs versus the booth for an additional sleeping accomodation.
So far we have considered the diesel versus gas.
The gray tanks are important because I do not want to spend my life at dump stations.
Dual pane windows
A split bathroom
Counter space
Hopefully able to find a minimum of 3 slides, preferably 2 in bedroom so we have room to dress.
Also hopeful that we are able to locate a desk for computer with filing draws.
I've been told the furniture we can change to what suits us.
All of our information of course are from salesmen so it is difficult to know what to believe at this point. Often, it can be a bit overwhelmimg since they want a sale and my focus is for a safe rig, seeking options that make for a more durable motor home at a good price.
In any case, I just wanted to say thank you very much for your post.
I am printing it out so that I can read it several times over and perhaps take it with me as a guide for when we make purchase.
Safe and Happy RV'ing
