Ice-Man, what type of RV were you and your partner considering? Since you will be taking it back to Europe, I guess size would matter as anything over 38-40 ft. would be a little cumbersome to maneuver in downtown London!
I read about RV's for 7 years before I made my purchase, we rented 3 RV's before the purchase, one class-C (31 ft.) and two class-A's that were both 38 ft. long.
I felt buying new was the only way to go since I couldn't even find an existing new unit equipped like I wanted. So, I contracted for a factory order and have been 100% pleased with my decision. I got all the options that I thought we would use and need while traveling. One was getting two Euro recliners across from the sofa rather than having two sofa's. I think this configuration is much more flexible. I did not want a booth dinette, I wanted free standing chairs with a legless table. I wanted an ALL tile living area because the carpet in the rental units got dirty pretty quick.
