I don't have a rig yet,, but am shopping via the net. I am leaning towards a smaller rig for just such a reason. We want to "parttime" that is to say,, get out of the heat for the summer... for say,,,mid may to mid October. And plan to do a lot of dry camping. So I have many 'wants' on my list for a rig. I sure hope we can get all my wants in one...that's why I probably will have to shop a LOT before finding just the perfect ONE!!! Right now I'm caring for my almost 91 yr old mother, so until that job is done,, ive got time to look online and this forum has been wonderful for me in a lot of ways.

thanks !

Have you RV'd before? Based on what you want to use it for, before you buy one, go rent a small one and take it out for a few days. You are talking about living in a motorhome for several months at a time. Most people would not be happy doing that in a 28' class C. When you're looking at motorhomes sitting on a dealers lot they are nice and empty and always seem so huge. That big empty closet looks like you'll always have enough room and those empty cabinets looks like they'll store anything you want. Then several weeks into your months long trip that huge motorhome you thought you bought, starts to look and feel pretty darn small.

I have a 35' Class A with three slides. For me, I think that's about the smallest I'd want to go if I was going to go live in it for months at a time.
