Full Timing in a Gasser

[MagillaGorilla]

It seems to be that the high percentage of full timers have DPs. Depending on how you live/travel the DP may or may not be the right choice.

The DP is considerably more expensive to buy, maintain and fill up. So to me you need to be mobile in order to justify it.

So why is it that more people, that stay put or just snowbird, don't buy gassers? What am I missing here?

To me it just seems that if you stay put all winter in one campground and then move to another one up north later in the year, that a gasser would be fine. I mean if you are just putting 3500 miles a year on it, what the point of the DP?

What am I missing? I'm sure I'm missing something here.

:S..Senior moment..:W

For us, we don't sit, we USE ours...15,000 miles last year..but the DP has more options, AquaHot Air Leveling, quieter too. Genset is in the FRONT so if you run it while you're sleeping you forget it's on....Dennis

I know quite few fulltimers with gassers. Some travel frequently while others stay put for months or even years at a time. I have no idea what the ratio is of gassers to DP's among fulltimers, but I do agree that DP's seem to be favored by the frequent travelers at least. We spend 9-10 months a year moving about in our 34' gasser, with stays of up to a month in locations we really like. The rest of the time we're at our lakeside cottage in upstate NY, although even then we typically continue to live in the coach for the most part.
