If you've never owned a motor home, this is the best advice you will ever get, rent first. ..l.... Make sure the pain at the pump is not unbearable to YOU.
Of course, you may be seasoned 'old hands' in which case that's a big 'never mind'. Then just do your research and be tough at the dealer, you'll be fine if you're happy in the end.
We have camped a lot. Done the tent thing, and then the pop-up trailer with ffamily...extensive summer vacations. Now that the kids are grown, we keep wanting to go, but the pop-up just doesn't do it. We are thinking that a MH would get us back out there. Renting is probably a really smart thing.
Thanks for your thoughts!
