Hi! My name is Kurt. I just retired. I am seriously considering RVing. I think I would like a class A. Spend in the 50,000 range. It is just me and could get by with a class C. I have spent the last 34 years in a semi on the road. I like driving, I just want to be able to stop when and where I want. Thanks for listening. If you have advise, please tell me. Interested in your opinion on everything....
Just a friendly word, if it is only going to be you or you and your dog, a class C may be a better choice. Those big class A's are nice and they are great to settle down in and relax and kick back in if you are going to stay in some places for a while, because they are bigger than some apartments. BUT if you are wanting to travel around and see places and stop in the small towns around our country; trying to find parking and accommodations for the larger rigs can sometimes be tough. There were times my late wife and I had to just forget about and pass on by some small-town sites we wanted to see, especially when we had our car in tow. And if you tow flat down with a tow bar, you can't back up without doing damage to the tow bar and equipment; (and it is easier to make the mistakes with the bigger units) and without the second person to move one of the vehicles if you have to disconnect, it creates additional issues. Thats why even though I have never done it before, and most of the time I will have my girlfriend with me with this new class A, I am going to reluctantly tow with a trailer
