A long time ago when we were first talking of RV'ing we had every plan of getting a 3500 a big fifth and just going. When it came time to actually do it,we forced ourselves into a reality check.
We realized that the was no way we were going to go with out seeing the kids for six months on the road. Plus there is no way that I could bring myself to let a management company or lawn service tend to my house a for that long a period.
Somehow putting close to a hundred k into a nice rig just didn't seem wise.
We ended up getting a capable half ton and a TT,for half the expenditure. Doing some quick arithmetic, we have used it just over 10% of the time we have owned it. The Missus retires in April and we have 6 weeks trips planned for next summer. After that we'll see.
