I presently have a tow behind and I amconsidering upgrading to a motorhome. I am thinking of a class A but do not know enoughg to make a decision on options. Any ideas where to begin. Gas/diesel, length, other options?Thanks,Cork

What are your uses going to be. Full time, weekend camping, short trips, or a few times a year. If usage is high then diesel will be the way to go, if only for camping and the sort then a gas model will work for cost. Diesel will run $$$$ more than gas. As for size you need to look around and be inside and see which layout will work for you. Go to as many RV shows you can and sit inside.Define your usage and that will help.

A lot depends on budget, but mostly it depends on what your usage is going to be. Once you find out which type RV best fits your usage needs, you can usually find something that will fit your budget (within reason of course). A little older unit will get it in a reasonable budget.Class A's are wonderful, but what are your reasons for choosing one? Will it really best fit your rv'ing needs? Often times a Class C is best when rv'ing with kids, unless you go with the bunk style Class A. In my opinion, the best way to narrow a search to one type of RV, is to read this forum inside out, that is what I did.Keep us posted, keep asking questions, and keep reading the forum!

I am thinking about may 1/2 time touring the U.S. No kids going, just the wife and I, but visiting kids all over U.S. I like the size and some options available. Any advise on used class A's?

The only way I was able to start eliminating different types was to go and spend time looking and sitting in them trying to decide what I would use and not. I had a come-a-long for several years then went Lance Slide-in in 99. Last year after looking for 3 yrs I bought Class A gas. I'm going full time, I wanted ciomfort but not alot of fluff.

A 32 footer class A was my first RV and it was the perfect size for wife and I, for short trips, I was still working. If traveling a lot during your six months perhaps a diesel might be better. It's all about what you want.
