Have you ever owned an RV before..?
RV's and (tow vehicles) are not a good investment to start with... and really are not a way to save money - massive depreciation right away and if you take out loans for both trailer and truck and find that RV'ing isn't what you thought it would be and really isn't for you...you can be in a world of hurt financially.
But, many of us really love this RV'ing thing and have had lots of great adventures and have made many wonderful memories...
Good luck with your choice.
This is some real good advice!
We see many on the forum that are looking at getting a big New RV and TV, and have not been RVing before. If you decide you done like it, big hit on both the TV and RV.
If not retired and only going to use for vacation or a weekend or two really not a good investment.
We had been out of RVing for about 15 years, work getting in the way.
When we decided to try again, we had the TV already, for horse pulling. we found a fixer for about $1,200. Then put about $1,000 in repairs, and enjoyed for three years.
Then decided to go newer and bigger, now very happy.
