I just bought my first motor home last week,and since I have never even ridden in one before I'm fairly certain I must have made a mistake of some sort. It's a 1984 Fleetwood Southwind 30 footer with 69,000 miles on it,and I paid $4,000. It looks good and there isn't supposed to be any mechanical problems or probles with the motor home itself except for needing new batteries.
I bought it because I plan on moving out west next spring,and I figured the best way to do this would be to take a motorhome out there first and wander around until I found a place where I wanted to live. I have no idea if I will keep it or not after I buy a house to move into. I kind of got camping out of my system while I was in the infantry. I know this is a higher order of camping that that,but we will have to see how much I like it.
Never been camping in RV parks before,so I'm still trying to figure out things like "how do I get my mail?",and "how can I hook up to the internet from a motor home?".
