Looking for Our Next RV
It’s been a while since I've posted here, but I'm in need of some advice or recommendations. About 8 months ago, we sold our Forest River MB Cruiser and moved from north Alabama to the Alabama gulf coast. We are settled now and ready to travel again, but need to find a suitable vehicle.
We managed well in the MB Cruiser for 8 years. It was affordable, we liked how it drove and the large windows. We didn't like the reliability (3 major failures) and lack of dealer network. The combination propane generator and small tank was a problem. We also yearned for a bit more room.
We like a B for the convenience of parking in the driveway and maneuverability in town, but might like a small C for the room. We would also consider a recent used vehicle for affordability. We recently looked at the Travato. The layout seemed cramped and not much storage. I looked at a RT Ranger at my N. AL dealer before we moved and it seemed like a good candidate although no hitch and a bit claustrophobic (I'd like another look though). I know that anything will be a compromise, the MB Cruiser was, but we enjoyed it while we had it.
The problem as many of you know, is the inability to look at potential vehicles without driving 500 or more miles. I would like to hear any comments, recommendations, or just words of encouragement to help us with our search.
