What’s the best way to decide which RV style (class a, b, c, travel trailer, 5th wheel, airstream) to purchase for this amateur early 50’s couple?
We’ve never RV’d before. Jobs phasing out in 2 months. Tired of rat race anyway, selling everything and currently in the planning stage of hitting the road full time (maybe in 6-12 months). We are not rich (about $100k banked). Approx $500/month non-earned-income stream is expected and expect that we will need to work along the way. We do have some outdoors camping experience.
Which RV? We are open to pre owned and open to a diesel crew cab if necessary. I have experience driving a converted van with a large cube box on back. Some small boat trailering experience. Thank you...
You plan to live on 500$ a month?
How much do you spend now,,on food,,fuel,vehicle insurance,repairs..etc
traveling wont be any cheaper even if you boondock full time,
as youll pay more for fuel..and food if eating out all the time.
If you dont like rat race,take life more slowly..
