Full timing for summer
Hi all, I’ve been a member on here for years but sold our TT about 4 years ago and haven’t been on since. We’ve gone from tent to pop up to HTT. We were looking at going Class C or A in retirement but things change. Just for background. Anyways here’s my current idea. I’m looking at possibly getting a Class B. Basically a conversion Van and looking for something that at least has a couch that folds down to a bed, although just a bed would work also. However rather new to this class so no idea what to even look for. I did a google search and there’s new ones that cost more than a class C and def nothing close to what I need. It’ll just be myself and a dog and cat and taking a 6 month break just to drive around the country and staying in campgrounds or truck stops. Looking at a budget of 1200-1500 a month. My question is this doable and secondly, that 12-15 would be already having said vehicle and that’s just monthly expenses for food and some nights in a campground and seeing some sights so don’t factor in a rental or payment on it or anything, what should I be looking at? Local area has a GMC conversion van I believe a 99 that has a couch/bed at the rear and 2 chairs in front of it with a older TV and DVD player kinda in the center console area, and than obviously driver and passenger seat in front. The 2 “middle” seats I might remove one of them for more space but it didn’t come with even a microwave. Unsure on if it had a small fridge or not. And it was 4K which I think is pretty reasonable. Do these come with say a small 2 burner stove, mini fridge and microwave? None are super necessary was just wondering where to start. Not looking to spend more than 10k and even under 5 is best. Any of this realistic? Or places to start looking? TIA1.9KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Full-Time Model Suggestions
Yeah Im also looking at Full timing in the next year and a Ram 2500 isnt gonna cut it. You gotta go bigger, or figure a Class A and just a toad. Unless youreally want the gypsienomad feel. But any Fiver in the range of a 2500 wouldnt be a full time live in deal for me. 3500 dually than yes. Solo 2500. Nope.176Views0likes0Commentsfull time nurse
