Travel Trailer vs. Motorhome (my situation)

I would also urge you to look at used units. The new ones are not trouble free so you should plan on sticking around your area for a good while until you get all the bugs worked out. I would consider a 4-5 yr old one. If someone gets rid of it in the first year or two, maybe it had problems. If they kept one 4-5 yrs then the bugs should be worked out or they wouldn't have kept it that long. We purchased a 10 yrs old motorhome, now 19 years old and we have had very few problems. Things like replace circuit boards, fan covers, engine coolant overflow bottle, grab bar on the outside, lens covers. The rest were things you have to do to a car - new tires, serpentine belt, radiator flush, brakes etc. They last if you take care of them. We are still happy with our purchase.
