2009 Keystone Everest
I've been driving a Class A for 11 years, averaging 15,000 per year. That's been fun, but I'm thinking of settling down and maybe just do 5,000 per year from a home base. Maybe like a snow bird doing only 2-3 trips per year.
I'm thinking of buying the 5th mentioned in the subject line and wonder if anyone has experience with that model or what do people think of the Keystone line in general.
Also, and here's the biggie, since I'm now nearly 70, is it too much setting up and tearing down a 5th? I'm still getting around fine and all, but 7 months ago injured my shoulder and I'm still dealing with it. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't take a step back from too much physicality during setup and teardown and stay with a Class A.
I have been to hundreds of RV parks in 11 years, but darned if I can recall a time when I'd just sit and watch someone do a setup or teardown in a 5th. I regret that now of course, there's nothing like watching an example. Wish I'd paid more attention.
Any advice for me? Stick with the Class A or move over to a 5th? Does it really make all that much difference in setup and teardown?
