I bought my 1st RV today excited but nervous
Hi I bought my 1st RV today after years of dreaming about it I actually did it. But now I'm second guessing the decision on the RV I purchased. I bought from a dealer a Class A 2010 Winnebago Vista 26...

The very best thing you can do when buying a used RV is hiring an independent RV tech to get a thorough inspection done. Before owning is better but even after can help, especially if it's your 1st RV and/or you're not handy with tools and fixing things. You don't want to overlook some important maintenance or repair work that should be done and you can create a to-do list of things to do down the road.
Even hiring an RV tech on a brand new RV can be a good idea (long story for 'nuther day)...
If you're planning to travel around to various RV parks and do some road trips, I would suggest looking on Craigslist for a pre-owned Thousand Trails membership. There are some excellent memberships you can pick up for around $1K. We got ours for $800 and can stay in any TT CG in the US for up to 21 days at a time and can stay "in their system" continuously. We only need to pay the annual dues which is pretty reasonable. You can buy one from anyone in the US or Canada. If you are interested in this, make sure to research all the contract details and features & benefits there are as there are MANY different versions of TT memberships. Some memberships have frozen dues for life. There's some excellent info. on the web that explains how to buy one.
Otherwise, enjoy!
