I wonder why a woman, with no previous RV owner/operator/maintainer experience, would want to buy an older used RV to take a trip (alone) from VA to WA. It seems to me that driving a car and staying in motels would be safer, easier, and much less expensive taking all actual and potential costs into account. You could take a tent, an air mattress, propane stove and ice chest for occasional camping, where it is safe to tent-camp, in attractive patrolled camp settings if desired.
Well, there’s lots of reasons, but this idea originated from my desire to relocate back to WA and thinking about how to get there with all of my pets. I think that having all of my pets in an rv would be less stressful for everybody than sneaking them into motels every night, and it would be more enjoyable to stay at campgrounds than motels. Once the idea took hold, I started to get excited about it and thought, I’m not tied down at the moment and will have all summer to explore, so why not turn it into an adventure? Plus I’ll have an rv for future trips, which would be handy since I have family and friends spread out all over the place.
