Smoothest Ride under 35k
My wife and I are looking for a better way to travel than flying with two kids, or worse driving our Honda Civic which is great for gas mileage but impossible to keep children happy and entertained. We travel twice a year for work (I work 5 months away from home, essentially off the other 7, at least that work can be done while mobile), and we have family across the nation we want to visit for holidays and special occasions.
Most important to us is ride quality, we also want width enough to move freely to the fridge or bathroom while driving, both of which had drawn us to Class A (from what we've read and seen)
My work provides housing for the 5 month work season, so we will probably be storing it for those months. So we won't be full timing, but we will be sleeping for a week or so at a time when visiting family. We don't really want a 40 footer, the smaller the better (provided there is a queen sized bed), but if we have to go big to get the ride quality we will.
Anyway, all that for a budget of about 35k, including initial maintenance or repairs to get ready to roll.
All of my reading has made me think an older DP is the way to go, but that is why I am coming to you all, the experts.
Couple of notes.
I'm okay with the added cost of scheduled maintenance of DP.
We want something that will serve us well for 2 or 3 years and we will can sell and upgrade.
If the best way is a $10,000 RV with $10,000 in initial cost to get rolling we're in.
