Looking for a Recreation Vehicle

Hello! Newbies here. Looking for assistance in finding the right Recreational Vehicle for our needs. Is there a website or anything we can check out? We have a few specifications, but I think choosing the type first is best, any suggestions?
  • RVT.com is a place to look online. You need to narrow type, dollar value, how many does rig need to sleep.
  • Forgot to mention we would like a used 2012-2014. We would need another vehicle for sightseeing etc. As far as budget...if we see what we like I am sure we could figure something out.
    One of our major specs is the Shower needs to be low (step/walk in) and either have a seat or enough room for a seat.
  • If you haven't already, try this web site.
    Go Rving
    You should try to locate RV dealer in your area. You may need to make a weekend trip to another area to get a better idea.
  • We have gone to an Outdoor Show and looked at a bunch of Travel Trailers,Fifth Wheels, Pop-ups and Cubes, no Class A, B or C's. Don't know why, but even our local dealer stopped selling anything other than TT's & 5's. Closest Camping World is 2-3 hrs away. We are in the process of selling our home, and want to go fulltime. Our current Class C is a bit old and could use a lot more space (storage and living)for 3 adults (elderly & disabled)and 2 dogs.
    I already have a few specs I need, but I think finding the right class first would be best.
  • How will you be using the RV? some weekends and perhaps a 2-week vacation? full-timing? Snowbirding?

    How many people?

    Do you have a budgeted amount to pay?

    New? Used?

    Answering these will give us some idea of what you might look for.

    As for a website, you might start with this one which are used ones. They have a section for trailers, 5th wheels, Class C, Class A (gas or diesel). This will give you a good idea of floorplans for each type and prices for used.
