Expectations of a Newbie

My wife and I are in the same situation. Wanted an RV for the same reasons/purpose. We started with a small Class C with a pullout couch/bed which was comfortable but being older, one of us would always find we had to get up in the middle of the night. If you were sleeping in the front, you had to crawl over the one in the back. Corner bed models have the same issue. If we were younger I don't think we'd mind. Moved up to a larger class C. Then a used class A. Now our New Winnebago class A. Worried at first driving something big but you get good at it quick. Seen a lot of newbies get in trouble taking uphill ramps going into parking lots. I make it a point to pass by any place that's not a fairly level entrance. We don't have a toad. Makes getting the rig around much easier. Most places we camp are right where we want to be. If we are going to be in a spot for a while, we rent a car. Enterprise will pick you up. Big destinations like Zion and Glacier almost always have shuttles. We try to do shopping enroute to a destination so the rig can stay parked once we get there. Just my opinion.... Others may feel a toad is a necessity.
