Re: questions on costs
I posted in the Class A section too. The information is roughly the same. I'm not sure how insurance costs compare though... I'll check with my agent to get his thoughts. We are looking at the variables the threads have uncovered, and focusing on floor plan, costs, safety, and the lifestyle.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: questions on costs

You must be trading my mind. Which rv type keeps a larger percent of the purchase value over time? As far as insurance goes, which set up is cheaper? I've seen the remnants of a flipped TT/pickup and a destroyed class A...neither was pretty. I believe a pickup is safer than a motorhome but am not so sure when an additional 15k follows it into a tree or other traffic. What do you folks think about the accidents and risks to the occupants?440Views0likes0CommentsRe: questions on costs

How would you compare the costs of ownership between a motor home and a fifth wheel/pick up combo? I'm interested in maintenance. Barring the driveline differences are equally equipped coach and trailer costs the same? Considering driveline maintenance, my perception (based on doing my own suspension lube, filter and fluid changes) is that a diesel pick up would cost less than a class A To maintain. Is this accurate?2.7KViews0likes16CommentsRe: New to Class A
