Beginning my research on class a motor homes

When are you planning to make your purchase? Don't think finding out what RV's cost now will help you much in a decade! I probably misunderstood your question. If you want to brose through some large used RV sellers to get ideas on what rigs cost now, suggest you check out sites like http://lazydays.com/ or http://www.rvtrader.com/ for ideas. You can also check craigs list in your area. We purchased a 2006 32' Georgie Boy Pursuit with only 8,000 miles on it for less than $60,000 last year from Lazy Days in Tampa, Florida. We are thoroughly enjoying it. We have been RVing for almost 40 years and finally got our Class A Motor Home! We found that the best way to learn about the systems in an RV is to go to a campground and ask many, many, many questions. Most campers are only too happy to show off what they know and explain what they have learned along the way. Often, it seems, trial and error (with basic knowledge beforehand, of course) is a great educator! Good luck in your search!
