Yes that is what we plan to do. We're going to wait till the spring and rent a RV for a long weekend trip and see if we like it enough to want to take the plunge and buy one of our own.
Now that I'm learning a lot more, it probably wouldn't be practical for driving it to conventions.. they're all downtown on streets that were laid out with horses in mind not cars or RVs. And the cost of gas to get there and back would probably just as much as it would cost to pay the price-gouged hotel rates. So that's not something I'd look into unless I had it a while and really knew what I was doing.
We are also probably going to have to buy used, and that worries me.. it's not like buying a used car there's so many other parts to consider and i'd worry the last guy didn't take good enough care of it. So we definitely want to make sure if we buy used we get something good that's not falling apart or has a mold problem or something.
So yeah, we're definitely not in a rush at all :
Glad you figured out that downtown center RVing with dogs really wasn't going to work out in most places.
Buying used isn't the end of the world even if you don't know the mechanics. Hire an experienced RV mechanic to do a check over before you buy. Your neighbor with the RV probably has a source or 2 for you.
