5th wheeling, any regrets????
Hi All! We are exploring our options when I retire in January. One of them, the one I am most geeked about is purchasing a fifth wheel rig. We have a park home that we can summer in in Homer Mich...

I think this was the biggest shock when we first started to snowbird was the small area we had to explore. Unless you head into Mexico, your travel area will be very limited due to cold temps. You'll have California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida to explore, pretty much anything under I10 will be warm in the middle of winter.
For your other questions, the statement of buying good used was a good one. We love snowbirding/exploring just like Al, but I agree it's not for everyone. A one week rental might be a good thing to see if both like it enough to spend months at a time.
Now for the story :E :W. Bellied up to a bar a few years ago for happy hour when another couple sat down next to us. They asked us what we were doing and we said we were RV snowbirds. Turns out they were leaving the next day to California for a month, they were in Texas for a month already. Their story was they were FT's then RV snowbirds, and now using the internet rent monthly in various states during the winter. They move from state to state and explore that area. Kinda made a lot of sense the more I thought about it.
