Like many here, we wanted to make sure we liked camping before we took the plunge into ownership. We rented three years in a row ('04-rented for one week, '05-rented for 10 days, '06 rented for 2 weeks). All coaches were new with less than 8,000 miles as the rental company replace their fleet every year.
First rental was a 31 ft. Fleetwood Tioga class C, second was a 38 ft. class A Fleetwood Excursion 3 slide and lastly, the third was a 38 ft. class A Fleetwood Excursion 4 slide. Well, we really liked camping/traveling so we ordered a new '08 Monaco Dynasty, 42 ft., 4 slide in January of 2007. Drove that unit for almost 70K in 7.5 yrs.
Then, we upgraded to a 45 ft. Liberty Coach, 1.5 baths, 4 slide.
In the future, I can see maybe going to a class B in our later years.
So, I would say rent first before you decide to buy.
Safe travels and good luck!
