Interesting how people end up with 2 RV's. When I retired we picked up a short used cruise America class C, little bit longer than a camper. At the time we already owned a 33 foot 5th wheel but sold it. Being we already experienced the hassles of a large RV going small was a no brainier for us. But after spending a couple weeks in our small RV we then understood the space in large RV was missed. Wife found a 30 foot trailer she liked and it is her "doll house". We have a lot in Yuma that we use as a base camp. Our smaller is RV great for traveling and camping but spending any amount of time or stuck inside because of rain couple for a weeks might change your mind. At our park (full hook ups) many people with large RV's got tired of dragging them around over the years and they picked up a small traveling RV. And some put their large RV in covered storage (because sun damage) and go from their home and "camp" all the way down from Canada or other frozen places to the southwest. By the time they get to Yuma, camping all the way in Nat campground and such they fall in love they the bigger RV all over again. Being able to fit in anywhere without the hassles is great but we sure do enjoy the space of our big one. Also when at home, use the smaller class C as back up vehicle and spare bedroom. Having both small and large RV has many benefits. However this year we had to stay home because wife got new hip (don't want her in public, somebody might try to steal her:) Now with 2 rv's I now have to all the maintenance items and insurance of two. Also getting old that the place I buy RV parts from knows me by name.
