What to purchase....TT, 5er, MH, ???
Hello all-
I have previously owned a 24' and 32' TT, 30' MH-A, and 30' 5er. I tent camped as a scout when I was young. I'm 52 now, and not too interested in tent camping very often. I will do it for my kids so they can experience it, but not too often!
DW and DS-15 aren't much into tent camping. DS-10, who has Autism, loves the outdoors and is happy being outside doing whatever I involve him with. DS15 is your typical electronic gadget seeking teenager who seems to prefer indoors to outdoors!
We like to go to beaches, lakes, and mountains....all of which we have in CA. We will go to state parks but prefer small quiet places and do not like crowded parks/places. 90% of our travels will be in CA.
DW likes to explore towns, places, etc. I like fishing, exploring, boating. DS-15 will have to come along!!
We are looking for our next used camper for our travels. Want to spend as much time as we can with our DS15, as he'll be on his own soon. DS-10 will be with DW and I for our lifetime.
So, we are confused about our next rig. I have an older 1992 F350 that will tow anything up to 10,000 GVWR. It is kept in great condition and only has 60K original miles. So, TT or 5er are possible. If a new TV happens at a later date, it can be either a 1/2 or 3/4 ton, depending on what rig we have.
Used MH are about the same cost as a used 5er (within our budget of $20K). Since we like to explore while camping/Rving, we need a vehicle once we get there. I don't want to tow a vehicle, so we lean towards a TT or 5er. Not sure if we should consider Hybrids, as wife is concerned about wildlife (bears) smashing through the canvas and the colder temps of the Hybrids.
What say those that have experienced similar circumstances or similar travels?
Thanks!
