Looking for ideas on next RV to purchase
Hey all. I currently have a Tiger CX by Provan that serves me well. With the approach of retirement coming my mate says she will not join me without a larger RV. So the question is what are my options...

About 30 years ago I sold my 17? 19? trailer and took a short break that turned out to be longer than I thought it would be. I got back in with a slide in truck camper which was what I thought would be enough room with just me and my two dogs and possibly female companion. About a year later I went to a 28 foot 5th wheel because I was going to be living in it for most of the summer. The 28 foot 5th wheel seemed huge compared to the T/C. Fast forward another year and I now have a 33 foot 5th wheel in my drive way because I did not need more room, I wanted more room. The larger camper with washer and dryer and a bunch of stuff the other one did not have will make things more pleasant.
One decision I am happy with was the fact I got a truck that can handle just about anything I will ever need, although this most recent purchase is about as big as I feel comfortable pulling with this truck (2010 Dodge 3500 dually long bed with 409 cubic inch diesel). People have done quite well living in a slide in camper but it all depends on how much comfort you are willing to give up. I have used the washer dryer once to test it out and I believe it will make things a lot more efficient by not needed to search for a laundry mat and wasting hours sitting in front of a washer while the clothes got cleaned.
Last summer I did not have to time to go to a laundry mat so I wound up searching the stuff I wore to find my cleanest dirty garments.
