What we've learned...
Before you buy - Sit down and talk extensively about what kind of RVer you want to be. Where do you want to go? How often do you plan to go? How long do you plan to be gone? By doing this my wife discovered she DIDN'T want a 36 footer and we wound up with a 22'Pleasure Way Pursuit.
What to buy - Obviously, there are practical reasons why certain choices are made. If you don't want to spend your entire life's savings or already own a pick-up, then a TT or 5th wheel make perfect sense. But if you have the choice and you think the trip should be part of the fun, our advice is buy a MH. More specifically, the smallest one you can live with.
Knowing what we wanted our RV life to be like was the key to us still believing after 15,000 miles that we bought the perfect (for us) RV.
Right on! These are some of the things I preach to those who are in the market for their first RV. I will even say that if you are getting a towable of any kind, get teh smallest one of those that you can stand as well. Smaller = many more campsites you can put it in.
