Don't rule out doing the rental of something you both like. Nothing better than spending a weekend in a rental unit finding out what may work best for you all...
Just going down and buying something is one thing but when you hit the road with it will really start showing what your needs/likes are going to be.
My hat is OFF to those that can manager those big rigs going down the roadway. They are hugh, expensive to operate, and to me can't be all that enjoyable in the transit mode. Too much for this ole country guy to manage. I also think you will always have to have DEEP POCKETS to keep your head above waters.
The only expenses we have is buying a couple of batteries and a couple of tires ever five years or so. Insurance and licenses is not bad at all for our OFF-ROAD size POPUP I have. I have all the modern appliances the big rigs have just abit slacking on the move around inside space. Everybody wants to go BIG - The bigger the better it seems. Our camping lifestyle likes the 24-26 size trailers.
Of course we are in it for the camping mostly off the power grid places and not for the full time living in the HOME ON WHEELS thing. There is a big difference in lifestyles here...
Must be a hugh nightmare for you guys trying to get it right the first time. It is hard buying your last RV first. You may end up going through two or three of them before you get the one you like the best. i.e. the more deeper the pockets are the better I reckon...
just some of my keeping sane thoughts here...
