We had a Coachmen 30ft TT for a couple of years then decided to homestead with a Dutch Park park model. We have 2-3 years to go yet before we buy a MH (son is a second semester sophomore in college) and this site, particularly this thread is turning out to be a gold mine of information. We plan on hitting the local shows, do a few rental trips during the next few summers, maybe rent one for our annual May trip to Disneyworld. Right now we are open in terms of size, powertrain, etc, although since we are both a decade or so at least from retirement, full timing is not a consideration for the foreseeable future. There's quite a lot to consider but fortunately the time constraint imposed by college tuition should prevent any impulse buying mistakes :). So I'll keep reading through the many conversations, through out a question or two as they come to mind and hope to see some of you friendly folks down the road. Oh and by the way, we have our park model on a site at Pleasant Acres Campground in Wantage Twnship, New Jersey. If anyone gets up that way drop me a line....
