You have a long and confusing road ahead of you. :)I honestly don't think anyone can help you, yet. You need to decide what your requirements are before expecting a reasonable reply. When we moved to AZ in the building boom we started to dream. I remember a motorhome we looked at and as I sat in the driver's seat, I thought, "this is me"!!. As the years passed and we decided we could afford to "hang it up", I didn't want one. I didn't want to be nailed down to the big bus. I opted for a detachable truck and a trailer. I think your finances may have an influence on your decision but fortunately you have time.. I wish you all the luck.... :)
