First time buyer questions
Looking for some advice and answers with regards to our first RV purchase. We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids range from 4 to 13 years old. I don't think I am the typical RV buyer though as every floor plan I have looked at online seems to include lots of things that I would find to be a waste of space/weight while not providing the key features that I am interested in.
We are not looking for a home on wheels. When we camp, we are there to spend time outdoors, being active,not sit around a campsite doing things that we would normally do at home. For example, I do not need or want a TV or audio system. I can't understand what I would want a microwave for either. AC is something that I suppose I would consider but definitely in the not needed category.
A shower is a must, but it doesn't need to be much more than a hose with a drain in the floor. A toilet is also on the must have list according to my wife, although I am indifferent to that.
Basically, I am looking for ultra lightweight, sleeps 5 comfortably (one bed must be a queen) and has lots of storage space.
I would consider a tent trailer but just have concerns about how rain proof they really are. For example, I'm not as worried about an actual leak as I'd be concerned that just touching the side of it during a good rain would wick moisture through... Is that even a possible issue?
Any suggestions or ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks.
