Thinking of Full Time would love some advice
My husband works remote, and we're discussing full time RVing. I have a few questions about this topic. What type of insurance is the best? Should we buy new or used? We've never owned an RV befo...

Having fulltimed for 10 yrs now, I'll share a few items for you to think about.
First - go rent an RV, say a Class C for at least a week. Yes, it will cost money but since you don't have experience, you need to see how you feel being in a small space 24/7.
There are several forums out there - read them and then look at those who post frequently and see if they have a blog (usually in their signature line). Go read as many blogs as possible - - everyone fulltimes differently.
We bought used because we could get more bang for our buck. If we had gone new, we would have had to have settled for a entry level DP, buying used meant we could get a higher end (better fit and finish) coach for the same $$$.
Unless you know that you are going to boondock a GREAT deal of the time, solar is not a good return on investment.
We have Version and a MiFi with 20G/month. Adequate for our needs, but have no idea how much bandwidth you need. Do NOT depend upon park WiFis. Some good, some bad, you just never know.
We've had National Interstate for 10 yrs for insurance. Bought through a broker. There are several out there, Escapees has some insurance brokers who are commerical members you might want to talk to.
