Help choosing RV type - your advice needed
My husband and I are planning to become full-time RVers, for at least one year. We have never owned an RV, and need your advice as to which type to purchase (c-class or 5th wheel). Many thanks in adva...

I'd agree the fifth wheel could be the best option. You can find a an older 3/4 ton truck and used fifth wheel for that range. I currently have a travel trailer and just purchased a 2002 3/4 ton to tow with for $8000, and have seen several fifth wheels, that would fit in your budget.
Since I am just a few years from retiring, I've been wondering some of the same things though about which may be the best way to go. Reading on here, when wondering between an RV or fifth wheel for full timing, one item mentioned is length of stops, fifth wheel for longer stops and RV for shorter stops. One week stops is kinda in the middle.
For me, If I went the RV route, I would want a small car to tow. As far as room, I'd make sure to get a slide in whatever you get, will give more room and in a fifth, I think there will be much more room.
Good Luck!
