Ha, thanks for reading :) For someone in your position, I strongly recommend you go to this web site and begin reading and watching the videos. This is a very good web site, chocked full of information, and the videos are interesting and fun to watch. After being around RV's all my life (and I'm 60 years old), I still enjoy the simplicity of this web site and the information it provides. You won't go wrong checking it out. Click here. Thank you very much for your help!!441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbies searching for travel trailer?

Ok well his job requires travel (lineman) so we figured this would be our best option, not only that but we already love to camp, but honestly, yes we hoped to save some money in doing so... Why do you say it's not cheaper than renting? Do you know how much rent is in Colorado? Do you know how much it costs to rent a site for the night; even at a monthly rate (I presume your not planning on sitting in some parking lot for 6 months with a kid). Then pay for electric, propane, the maintenance and repairs, plus your RV monthly payment. You'll soon be looking for an apartment to rent and an RV to get out from under. No. That's why I came on here to find out. So why don't you tell me? And stop giving me a hard time.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbies searching for travel trailer?

The company is no longer in business but I can not believe there are not 4 season rigs still being built. Just see if the dump valves are exposed, that generally means it is not all season as the valves will surely freeze unless protected. BTW the wife and I have been living in the above unit since driving it off the lot in 2004. Our first three winters were in temps of less than 10 for days at a time (yes, the propane bills were a little much) but we stayed warm. Thank you.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbies searching for travel trailer?

Are you planning to follow the sun and go south in the winter? We will go where his job needs him. Right now that's in CO. Where rent is insanely expensive.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbies searching for travel trailer?

My husband and I decided that we will be moving out of our apartment and onto the open road! I don't know what will be best for us. Here's what I do know: there will be three of us, my husband, me and our 1 year old baby girl. We have a Chevy Duramax so I think we can pull most things, he doesn't want one that attaches in the bed (5th wheel?), and we're in Colorado. Any help is appreciated as I'm not even sure what the different options are called! Ha, thanks for reading :)5KViews0likes25Comments
