Itinerary, Travel with Pets
I am learning so much from this site! My husband, son and I plan on traveling this Spring/Summer. We still as yet need to buy the right vehicle, but we have determined it should be a Class C. I...

Thanks for all you suggestions.
Traveling with pets has been a concern, so I have been researching that quite a bit. Hopefully they won't get lost, just keeping them leashed. I'm going to start putting a harness on the cat so she gets used to it before we leave. Chips are an awesome way to go in case they get off their leash and thought at first that would be the option we'd go with, but I've looked into the Tagg.com device. It involves putting a GPS tracking device on their collars and you use your phone to locate the collars in case they get lost.
I appreciate all the other pet suggestions too.
We have lived in CA, OH, AZ (Flagstaff) and WA State. My husband does not want to return to CA and we are both pretty much done with snow. We love the mountains in the un-snowed seasons... so guess we'll live close to a mountain range in a stick house and use the RV to visit the higher elevations. A treed area would be our preference. We'll stay away from the Great Plains.
For purposes of travel though, anything goes! We want to have fun with our son. We just crossed the 60 mark and our son just crossed the 30 mark. I'm finding I'm too old now to get the kind of job I'm used to, my husband retired last year and my son has come across some hard times, as so many of us have. We want to have a good 3 to 6 months of sight seeing, then settle some friendly place with a low cost of living. We are open to South, East and West.
I was under the impression that a Class A was quite a bit more expensive than a Class C, but will revisit that under your suggestion.
Am I correct about Azdel, the new siding that eliminates the wooden siding starting in 2010 is a big improvement in RV construction?... that it doesn't mold? I was coming to the conclusion because of this that buying a 2010 Coachmen (the older, the better for economy) is the way to go... or is this just a marketing ploy?
