I am simply amazed and often shocked at just how much effort folks put into finding "the ideal" RV for a special layout or a special deal.
Its a RV folks, basically a SHELTER from weather, a place to lay your head for the night, sometimes a place to cook a meal inside and sometimes a place to get out of the rain, snow, heat, cold..
I would not ever consider driving 100 miles or even 50 miles for a RV, they are a commodity, they are cheaply made for a cheap audience, they are readily available pretty much anywhere you can drive to within 50 miles one way for most folks. Dealerships are everywhere, used ones all over the place also..
Most folks do not keep a RV for long, often suffering from the "super size mentality..
Kind of reminds me of a friend of mine, spent 4 yrs designing the perfect home then finding a builder then having his "dream house" built.. Spent $50K on the ideal 1/2 acre lot in just the right neighborhood and $450K on the house.. 5yrs down the road and ended up in a divorce, lost the house to now ex and kids.. Now lives in a $400 per month shoe box apartment and has another 10 yrs to pay of the mortgage on the ex wifes house..
Find a RV that you can live with that is close at hand and move on.. Folks put way to much effort into a mobile shoe box..
Then one night on the web, I found it. My present TT. Setup with two 42 gallon black tanks and two 42 gallon grey tanks. A heated underbelly, with the dump valves heated as well. 3 TVs, and a larger fridge.
This was what I had been looking for.
With this TT I can now boondock in remote locations for longer periods, in style.
I have never been sorry I made the purchase.
And I got a really good deal on it to boot.
Sold my ten year old #2 on the first day for more than half of what I paid for it new...Had two backup buyers for it as well.
That money made a huge dent in the price of the new one.
But hey, as I always say.... It is your money, your choice.
Conversely.. It is my money and my choice.
