Now part 2 or the question. What on earth would we do if this motorhome was across the country? What would we do if we are full timers? I just wanna know because we have discussed going out on the road in 10 years when I retire. Ok I guess that's a few questions haha. Are 5ers going to give you more options when damage occurs? Thanks all.

Over the years we've had motorhomes, we've blown an engine, blown a transmission, destroyed a rear end, plus various other more minor, yet disabling, failures. In every case our emergency road service, Coach-Net for the past 8 years, has found us a competent tow service that responded in a reasonable amount of time, and depending on the circumstances, either hauled us to a qualified repair shop or first hauled us to a campground for the night, and then to a repair shop the following day when needed. Also in every case, we've been able to spend at least the nights in our coach, if not the actual working hours. Before we had a toad, one shop even loaned us a car to go grocery shopping and site seeing during the day while they worked on the engine replacement. The only time we haven't stayed in the coach was for two days/nights while a previous rig was being painted, and we didn't want to endure the smell. That time, we stayed in a rental cabin at a KOA. There's almost always a motel or some other alternative accommodation in the area, wherever we go, but fortunately, we haven't needed them except for the paint job.
