Good advice already posted so I'll take a different route and post my experience. I've owned 3 rv's the 1st was a gas 36 ft the 2nd a 40' diesel the 3rd 43' plus a few inches and loaded with everything, all the bells and whistles. Well all those bells and whistles are potential problems. I was much happier with the 2nd RV which was a basic but nice diesel pusher very few problems and fixed quickly. The last one seemed to always have something needing fixing. Motors for shares going out, fancy cabinets needing latches, aqua hot needing something, heated floor leaking and on and on. Also at almost 44' and 13' high towing a car you had to be very careful getting off major routes with out planning. Seemed like everytime I did I got in some kind of situation. We did full time during that period and traveled a lot, it would of been easier to just drop it off and have them fix it and go home but we found sitting in waiting rooms with 2 dogs was not our thing.
