Once again, thanks to all who have read and replied to my original post. It is an education. Please continue to tell me about your experiences.
We have no intention of becoming a 'Full Timer.' However, our experience in our old 5th wheel included a lot of SoCal Mojave desert outings with our dirt bikes. Ain't nutin' level in the MoJave. Hence, levelers.
We are just looking for an affordable travel machine. Depreciation is a major concern. I can't justify purchasing a new Jayco 26XD for ~$90K (list price) and then five - ten years later selling it for $30K. That is not reasonable for our needs.
Also, I got the "5-speed" automatic transmission data from the Jayco webpage for their 26XD. I thought that was strange since it appears all other sites listing 2016 Ford V-10 chassis had 6-speed transmissions.
Again, the main purpose for an RV is to have a place to overnight CHEAPLY in transit then set-up 'camp' at the destination. CAMP will have everything - full hook-ups. We will probably tow either my current GMC Canyon 5-speed manual or purchase a used itty-bitty car for towing.
