Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)

You've done a fine job of analyzing all the things we look for in a motorhome; one caution don't let the price deter you too much. We purchased a used low-mileage Coach House and are pleased with our choice, it was less than half the cost of a new one and was well taken care of. Another thing is that unless you are going to be full-timing, you and your family can probably adapt to a little inconvenience like limited space, like you're on a camping trip or traveling somewhere and really don't need all the luxuries of home. You will only use it two or three months of the year and the joy of travel and camping out will let everyone adapt to RV living. Go to shows as others have noted, look on Craigslist, Camping World, PPL, or rvtrader.com for ideas on nice used RV's.
