I would! I have limited mobility and it took me WEEKS of looking at used RVs 3-4 days per week to find one that I could use.
I don't know if this will help you and your DH, but my plans are:
- don't bother with hookups for short stays, which will be most of our RVing. That is feasible for us because we typically don't need AC at night in Wyoming and we don't expect to be RVing when we reach the point that we need heat. We simply will avoid campgrounds that don't allow genset use during the day.
- Do our emptying/filling at home. That way I can leave hoses in place as long as I want.
- Bring my rollator to the connection area. I have very little stamina and this way, whenever I run out of energy, I can sit down until I recover. If it takes me 20 minutes to get things hooked up, who cares?
- If we have to use a public fill/dump station, DH will simply have to do it because it would take me too long.
