Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

A class C can be disconnected from campsite hookups and driven into town, in a few minutes.????????????I guess that is a matter of opinion, Remember you have to take all things off counters, check vents are closed, make sure you do not pull out with the electric still plugged in? etc etc then you get to do that all over again when you get home?
If you want to see the U.S. you will need a tow car. Unless you are willing to pull up "stakes" unhook and drive in your motorhome to see the sites. A few places that come to mind are camping in Pristine New Jersery and commuting to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Staying in New York but about 45 miles from Niagara Falls, Washington D.C. is another favorite. If we go local to the beach we take a car but do not hook it up, but its there, if we need to come home go to the store, pharmacy what ever. In a van type or very small motorhome its possible and perhaps great. For the first time I drove a 25 foot Crossover the other day Vegas like a Class A and I was able to pull into a Mall and oops did not judge distance so I merely backed up while folks where getting irritated but it maneuvered me right on out of there what a joy to be able to back up, YOU CANNOT BACK up with a tow car attached and the first time you get on a road you are not familiar with or any short space and there is no room to turn around and its 110 degrees outside (Las Vegas) folks are honking and going crazy while you get the car unhitched and move along you might wish you did not have the tow car. So whatever works for you. Like I said we are getting older its hard to unhook and hook up car so its a thing you must learn. I remember renting a taxi once in Palm Springs to go out to dinner but were were at a lovely resort so we kicked back and actually did not need the tow well too much anyway. We are thinking old folks scooters..ha. And don't forget sometimes repairs take time. We were "stuck" in Tucson waiting parts for 3 weeks, Our Motorhome was jacked up it could not go anywhere... lucky us we had Military beautiful cheap RV Park, we ended up seeing so many things we never even thought about seeing it was awesome!Titan Missile Museum, Museum of the Horse Soldier, Restored Mission de San ___well we kept busy anyway.
