Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)

Good luck and most importantly have fun on your search. Our camping experiences goes like this....tent camping with three kids and dog....Lots of work but lots of fun and was all we could afford. Moved up to a Casita 17 foot TT...lots of fun easy to tow but cramped. We camp so we can enjoy the out doors. In my opinion small camper camping is one of the best was to go. We then moved up to a 31 foot Keystone springdale. Nice camper reasonably priced and functioned well. Not as easy to tow. Had to plan stops and meals but was reasonably easy to "wing it" getting off the interstate at a random exit to eat or fuel up. The springdale died of an elusive roof leak which I finally found after it was too late. We then purchased a Voltage toy hauler 5th wheel. Camping it it was more like what my friends called "GLAMPING" all of the comforts of home as well as all of the space. Lots of fun with that camper and the convenience of being able to stop at truck stops turn the generator on and sleep while on our way to locations more than a day's drive away. The down side is having to only fuel at truck stops because the rig is too big to "just stop anywhere". We have just sold the 5th wheel and have purchased a 2008 Winnebage view 24j. Just brought it mome yesterday and have yet to camp in it. I can't wait to try our hand at class C camping. I think that with our experiences the best advice I can give you is ENJOY THE RIDE. Whatever you decide to do just plan on having fun...even if the camper, motor home, or tent you are in doesn't meet your expectations.
