This is my first time posting on a forum so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. My wife and I just went through the same dilemma. small R.V. with tow vehicle? or bigger? well we found a previously rental unit 32 footer with 20,000 miles clean as new for about 15,000 cheaper than a 25' or 26' new. It has a 5,000 hitch on a ford 450 chassis, so we can pull a small boat our Honda on a dolly. we figure we will do what ever to get around because we are weekend worriers and somone in our group is pulling a trailer or has a tow vehicle if we need to get somewhere. I think renting a couple of motorhomes before buying may be a good idea. Happy Camping!
