Issues with newer RVs?
We have a question for you more experienced RVers. My family and I are moving across Canada and we are seriously considering buying our first RV- a one year old Travel Trailer - and pulling it with ...
Forum Discussion
Just to clarify. We are looking at buying between now (October) and Spring (May). Then we will have two full weekends free to test it on the road with the whole family. Then we are planning to leave mid Summer for the long road trip.
It's Winterized now but we will have lots of time with the unit in the driveway once it warms up but will only get to road test it for two full weekends in spring.
It would be impossible to get my wife to consider Winter RVing at this point.
Thank you all for your responses so far. It would seem that the general consensus is that new RVs take time to break in. They all no matter what manufacturer will have things to fix, tweak, modify or replace. Buying used a year or two old would not only avoid the $ loss driving off the lot but also most of the break period fixes will have been handled by the first owner.
Make sure we buy a unit in good condition and then ensure everything is in top working order (greased, oiled, topped up, sealed) before we head off.
We are enjoying reading all your input.
Many thanks
