Gene_M, you posted:" I am recently retired and looking for my first motorhome. get some longer trips in after we "adjust" a little."
Can't tell if this will be your first RV plus in your profile you posted "RVing since: N/A" so reading between the lines it sounds like your first RV.
What does "after we "adjust" a little." mean? Sounds to me like what I posted "Twice the husband on 1/2 the money"
"Get educated" Well, for starters three of us recommended renting several before buying. Then little things like DOT date codes... the age of the tires that look new BUT, water leaks, dual pain windows, size of the tanks, Ford V10 with and without spark plug problems, CCC, size of the hitch, life of a rubber roof......... Good Luck
