Re: First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006
Wojo, I agree with your reasoning about heat pumps and dual pane windows. But, if they are part of the package deal, why not? We have never had either and have still enjoyed our 20 years of happy RVing.There's a difference between nice and neccessary... Lyme490Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006
JohnnyT, you wrote a great instructional guide and your personal experience served to illustrate its efficacy. Nicely done. Two of my choices (constraints) limit my ability to buy the perfect motorhome, if such a thing exists. No. 1, Budget prevents me from buying new so I can't factory order what we think we want. No. 2, we prefer twin beds and there aren't that many used MHs that have them. In some ways it is easier for us by having these constraints. We know up front that our choices are limited so we don't have to kick as many tires to find one that will make-do for us; and we know our selection will not be perfect so we don't have that self-induced pressure to get the absolutely correct combination of features. All of our MH purchases have been compromises, and there is comfort in knowing that MH perfection is beyond our control. Having said that, I too derive much pleasure from trying to get as many of the variables lined up as possible so that we make the best possible choice. The final factor is always gut feeling, however. The emotional response to the "feel' of a motorhome is what makes it our "home" while we are on the road. Lyme479Views0likes0Comments
