Forum Discussion
Bordercollie, I've watched tons of youtube videos. maintenance, dump stations, cleaning, how to shower, etc. seen just about everyone of RVTravel, RVgeek rv education. I don't have issues with most information shown.
After watching those, I started reading forums. this was the first I signed on to. I've lost count how many hours I've spent reading threads. Some were extremely informative that I lost track of time, just keep reading.
Personally, posting here are better than books. experiences are real just like in a book, but feedback is what makes for value added. Sort of when working on your car, using Chilton book and the words don't make sense but when looking at the pictures it all comes together.
What I've been trying to do is:
Learn about MH's in general
read about the craziness of having one as well as the fun.
Learning what is better and not so good in terms of materials.
example - I've knocked out a bunch of MH's because of TPO Roof. Heard complaints about needing to extend a slide to access a bed, not for me. that helps bring the available MH's down.
Now I'm starting the footwork phase and visually checking them out. I have my notebook and camera, trying to gain a sense and feel for the beast. :) Once I've narrow it down, I'll bring my wife into the mix. right now i'm in pure stats mode. Then like our house shopping, least favorite first, most desired last. This purchase is going to be on me. I'm doing the upkeep. I know it. cars are mine to deal with, hers to drive :) heck i have to push the family to clean the cars. OCD thing coupled with they are expensive and i want to keep them for a while thing.
In the mean time, I'm looking up BBB complaints on dealership as well as Yelp, google,and even Angie's list and forming a list of them as well as direct purchase companies.
i don't get emotionally attached until after I purchase something. :)
