A few months back, a friend of mine was asking questions about our motorhome, as he and his wife were thinking about buying some type of RV, but really didn't know what he wanted. Gave him a few questions with a spectrum of answers (below) that he and his wife could discuss which might help guide them on what to pick. So far, they are still only planning.
How many days/nights a year do you plan to use the RV? Full Timer / 4-6 months total / a few weekends each year
How many days/nights will your average RV outing be? Full Timer / 2-3 months / 2-3 days
How many consecutive nights in one campground? As long as they let me / maybe a week plus or minus / 1-2 days max
How many people will typically be staying in the RV? Always extra guests / sometimes extra guests / only us
Where are you going to go with your RV? Snowbird it / A few local parks / See the USA
At what type of campground will you normally camp? Everything provided / mix commercial & state/national parks / Boondocks
How important is space inside the RV? Room for everything / middle of road / multi-use all space
Bottom line - what works best for me won't work best for everyone - which is why there are so many types and sizes of RVs. A class B might work for the OP - but not for me, my DW and five cats.
