Having followed the OP for the month he's been on here he's come a long way, but unless you have read his posts you do not know
The MH is for half time use and they will winter in their Fla home.
He's come from a 34' without a toad to a 39+ with a toad.
She is not as enthused about this first RV and can you make it homier?
He wants to try this sport by spending $100K so even after a year if she does not like it... they are out less than $20K.
If they like it then I think he is willing to spend a lot more.
I'm guessing that if they like this sport they could be doing it for 20 years.
The problems I sense are:
They have never RVed before and he is a lot more excited about all of this than she.
Unless the rig has plenty of creature comforts she may not like it.
As this post has proved, there is always a spirited debate about gas and DP MHs and now even a GP (gas pusher)... NOT. All you need to know is it uses the same tranny as a PU.
This may be where she is going to have twice the husband on 1/2 the money and in 1/10th the space... fortunately for only half the year in 1/0th the space.
My suggestion at this point is THEY need to go and sit in a bunch of different MHs which should be easy to do living on the Gulf coast of Florida. Look at how much storage it has and how many gallons of fuel and water it holds. At the end of two rainy days, does the floor plan still work?
Good Luck.
