Looking for our next motorhome
We recently lost our 1992 Foretravel to a fire, and are beginning the process of researching our next motorhome. This was our third motorhome, we worked our way from a Class C Toy Hauler to a 32’ Class C gasser, to this 36’ Class A diesel. She was vintage but she was a beauty. We are keeping a totally open mind and want to explore all our options to go forward.
While we loved the vintage and the high-end build of the Foretravel, DH wants to go newer this time. We expect to buy used, probably less than 10 years old. Price point will hopefully be under $65,000. We are spoiled by the Foretravel build quality but know that a newer one will be WAY out of our price range.
Other considerations:
We are not full-timers, we do a few 2-week trips a year and long weekends at least once a month in the spring-summer-fall.
We may go back to gas (but are intrigued by the Mercedes Sprinter diesels).
We are also seriously considering downsizing to something in the 25’ range.
We prefer a dedicated bed as I stay up much later than DH.
We are not completely ruling out travel trailers, but think we want to stick with self-propelled
I’d love to hear what current brands are the best quality right now, brands to avoid, or any other thoughts or suggestions.
