Buying first RV--- doing research
Hello all,
I want to first say thank you for any help you can give me. My wife and I live in Michigan. We have owned a boat and kept it in Fort Lauderdale for the last seven years. We have used the boat as our condo on the water. Well the boat has been sold. We have decided to buy an RV and spend our winters away from the cold in search of the perpetual summer. I work overseas and am gone for 1/2 of every month. I can go to work from any city. We intend to travel approximately 6500 miles per season. I already have a Silverado 2500 HD diesel. We are exploring the idea of a $65,000 used class A motorhome or a $45,000 new fifth wheel. We are not opposed to a used fifth wheel as well. I have some concerns over having to buy a separate vehicle to flat tow behind the motorhome. That is why we are looking at all ideas.
I guess the bottom line is? I am not sure what we should buy to best suit our needs. We enjoy being plugged in and not being in the middle of nowhere. Our goal is to chase the summer and get as much bang for our buck as possible.
Your opinions are wanted and needed.
Thank you,
Brian
