VERY hard to sell any type of RV. Try to buy as cheap as possible but expect to take a loss when you sell it (get the price down where it should be and it will sell faster). Hey, you did have fun times using it, right? You expect something like that to come free? As retired old coots, my wife and I prefer a motorhome. You can stroll back to the bathroom without having to stop or go outside in weather that could be bad. A single vehicle is always easier to maneuver and park than a tow rig either at a campground or at a restaurant for lunch. It IS much easier to set up camp with a MH. Probably most parks you stop at have sites too short not to unhook when you stop for the night. Leveling in a Class A is a matter of just pushing a button. The MH is REALLY appreciated in inclement weather. We "graduated" to a Class A from a TT, then 2 Cs. In the used market, it seems you can get an A for little more than a C. Class As have that nice "IMax" view out the front that nothing else has. Travelling the country we have certainly enjoyed watching (and photographing) the landscape through it! We travel with a cat that isn't particularly happy riding in a car but apparently the larger size of the MH agrees with her. She'll curl up on the dash and travel for hours looking out at the world. Sacrificed a cabinet for a cat box holder by adding a cat door to the side. We've not had breakdown problems but have always looked rigs over with a fine tooth come when buying and keep up with the maintenance. We bought several used RVs from a private broker and were pleased with our purchases from him. Two years ago we bought our first new motorhome as we are now old enough we probably won't be needing another. Expect to take a real depreciation hit that way but we've come to use our RVs so much, we felt it was a worthwhile expense for us. Everyone has their own priorities. I'm sure you will enjoy which ever way you decide to go! I should add that if we are going to stay at one location for a few days to sightsee, we'll just rent a car. Enterprise will come to your campground and pick you up.
