Hello fellow RVers,
My wife and I are planning a trip around our wonderful country and guess what I'm going to ask? Yeah you guessed it, what's the right size for a full timer. I've done some research and I started at a 40' diesel pusher and have trimmed it down to possibly a 34 - 37 because so many people have said getting into National parks and manuevering around could be a challenge. I know as you go smaller you start eliminating conviences. Has anyone else had this challenge? LOL. Any input would be appreceiated as we continue to search, also any input as to the quality rigs for wintertime as well would help. Thanks in advance for your reply.

How we got to a 40' Newmar is a story of 49 years camping, kinda like an evolutionary process.
We started with a Harley Davidson Sportster with a back pac on a sissy bar. and just kept moving up as the family grew. we've done the tents thing, then had 4 different truck campers, because we towed toys. then 2 travel trailers (a 19' and a 25') 1 class C mini whinny, and were looking or a 34-36 M/H when we discovered the Newmar 40' for less money.
We love the big rig, it drives easier than towing a trailer. sets up easier than the trailers. carries a lot more than the trailers.
The only rig we have not tried is the 5ver, we always needed the truck bed for other things. (so we thought)
Don't bypass the big rigs until you actually try them.
Buy a quality coach, continually fixing stuff takes the fun out of camping.
Before you buy, drive a Newmar with comfort drive. you'll be amazed at how nice they handle.
