5th wheeling, any regrets????

[sunblade50]

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 Michigan. What we are thinking about doing is selling our main house and purchasing a fifth wheel rig and spend our winters traveling.
This has probably been posted before, but what I would like to know is what are the pluses and minuses about this lifestyle?
I understand that if we don't like it we will have to probably take a big hit on selling the rig.
Is there any places that will lease a rig for a year?

Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

One thing that you haven't mentioned is if you have spent time in an RV before. If you haven't it may be wise to rent an RV (doesn't matter what type) and spend a week or two in it to see if it suits your lifestyle. It's a good way to try it out without buying and taking a financial hit on a sale if you don't like it.

We winter in the south in our 5th wheel and love it, but we've had a 5th wheel for about 30 years.
