All I can say is THANK YOU!!
This post helped us buy our first RV, and get exactly what we needed.
We were shopping around, thinking about being able to just load up the dogs and go, without having to plan too much, or put send the dogs out to boarding.
We thought we couldn't afford a new model and were looking at used, but after reading this post - from beginning to end, we did our homework, made a list of the things we NEEDED and found a great NEW 2012 model with everything we needed, and at the right price, the first time.
The 2 things that stuck with us.
1) Do we want to get something we won't be happy with and trade up in 2 years after we have learned from our mistake - get what you need the first time if you can. (so we bit the bullet a little harder)
2) Make a list of what is important to you and go find it.
* I work from home a lot, so if I have internet, I can go on the road, so a laptop table and stowage in the dash was high on the list.
* Belles likes to cook, so a large kitchen bench & extender was needed.
* East West bed with slide
* Dual A/C with 5.5k Generator
* Midship TV
Ta Daaaaaaaaa..... 2012 Fourwinds (Thor) Hurricane 32a and a new lifestyle!! YAY!!
