Thank you, Rockhill Manor, Ugh, and Brian. Yeah, I had thought about a MH, of all different varieties, in fact. I started thinking about trailers because the cost of a MH seemed prohibitive -- at first.
You can easily find and pick up a real nice used MH for WAAAY less than what a tow vehicle and TT will cost. Not to mention you are then stuck with a pricey, payment loaded, gas guzzling 'truck' as a family car around town at home.
The issue of not having a vehicle to move about after you show?
First of all when you are parked in the RV lot at the show you will make so many more friends and most of us that have a toad always ask around us who needs what, from where, or do you want to go with. :C
And then....after you get your feet wet with the MH you WILL end up getting a toad or setting up your family car if possible to pull behind the MH.
Also next show take a walk around the RV parking lot. There's always a few exhibitors that have their MH for sale. They are the best deals I've seen, Show people 'always' keep their RV's mechanically in shape. For what we pay for entries/travel we can't afford a breakdown on the road and miss a show!!!:B
