Life on the road in DP
So we have been on the road for two months in our 18 yo class C with no slides and have decided that we need to move up to a DP. We are having the classic discussion over a 10 yo quality versus a newe...

Well after a night of thinking of about all the posts a few things continue to rattle my brain.
I think the number one thing is the comment about it being the same as our home (forgive me for rephrasing)--if I don't want to fix things in my house I should go rent an apartment so it would be someone else's problem. I guess it would be the same on the road, if I don't want to fix stuff then I should drive to motel. Me, DW and Dog do not want to stay in motel.
The second thought that hit me as I was falling asleep was that I am very vain about being able to fix my stuff. If I feel proud of myself for being able to fix stuff then I don't have leg to stand on for having to fix stuff. Thank you for setting me straight.
The final thing involves the "fear of the unknown". Several of you stated that it is an expensive life style and if I can't afford it I should stay home (again paraphrased). That made me be thankful for being able to afford this life style. And if I buy a quality motorhome at a bargain price then I should be able to deal with the risk of having to spend money to fix stuff.
So now its time to find the DP of my dreams or at least with more room and better drive-ability than my V10 rattle box. Tonight after miles on the road I will dream of air-ride and quiet rear diesel.
Thanks again folks.
