Why you doin' this?
I also wonder why you are making this scary plan?
Do you or your twin 26 year olds plan to work while on the road?
I think it is a bad idea.
I was thinking the same thing but it's not my place to question other peoples motives or plans. I think planning is the key.
So my thoughts again. Have everyone start making a list of things they can't live without then go look at how much storage you have. Water. My coach holds 38 gallons. I can take a shower using 2 gallons of water, and a clean one,even after being at the race track working on a race car all day. Take a one gallon container into your shower and time it. Storage. Just because it fits inside the rig doesn't mean that you are within the legal limits the vehicle can carry. There is a gross vehicle weight rating on the door. You cannot safely carry more than that weight. You must include the weight of all passengers.
Add their gear, food. Water in tank@ 7 pounds per gallon.
Driving. i have driven anything that moves on the interstate up to 80 feet long. Driving a "c" requires attention . They don't like the wind, passing big rigs or entering some driveways because the rear overhang drags. They are tall and can hit limbs and overhangs. Basically you need to be alert. Mine doesn't go over 65 mph.
Mileage, expect 8mpg. 9 if going downhill. i tracked my mileage for the past 35K miles it averages out to 8.5. Sometimes down to 5 in a heavy nose wind.
Repairs. My rig requires something to be tightened,adjusted,glued or checked each and every trip. If it's a brand new rig expect it to be in the shop a lot waiting for warranty work, where will you live when that happens.
Extended warranties, overpriced and not worth it,period. period. Too many exclusions, hire a mobile mechanic.
Ok for now, I'll think of something else.
