How do you expect to get a loan, without a job??? I will get it a month prior to quit my current. I am also looking for a job in the LA area as right now so I could be going there with a job in place402Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to RV world, I have a few questions

I have found a few ranging from someone's driveway for almost no money to a really nice one with pools and everything for $800-$1000 a month. I think that there are enough options out there to fit my budget and needs.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to RV world, I have a few questions

However, first of all, I am not sure where I am going to be landing a job so If I am mobile I am in a little better shape. Second, I have been looking and its hard to find anything under $1500 a month not including that I have to find a place to accept 3 cats. Third, rent is just money flushing away every month. With a RV, I am actually paying "rent" on something that I ended up owning in a few years (5-10 years). Also, I dont plan to live in the RV for longer than maybe 2-3 years. Thanks for the feedback204Views0likes0CommentsNew to RV world, I have a few questions
Hello, First of all I am very new to the RV world. I am planning to live in a RV for a few years as I am moving from Boston to L.A. I am very much between a TT and Motorhome. I currently own a car. My budget: ~40K loan (will finance everything) Option 1: Sell my car and pay off my car load (I will probably be even on it), buy a truck and a TT (both used) I have found decent TT for around 20K and also either a newer 1/2 truck (2012, 2013) for around 20K or a 3/4 truck (2009, 2010) for about 20K also On this option 1 I am looking to get at least 33 foot Trailer and, I was wondering if any 1/2 ton will be able to tow it or I need a 3/4 ton truck after all? I would definitely prefer a 1/2 ton truck because once I get to my destination, I will be using that same truck to drive around, go to work, etc. I think the MPG difference and price difference is quite big between 1/2 and 3/4 truck. Option 2: Buy a used Motor Home class A and tow my current car. On this option 2, I would preferred a diesel engine 35-37 footer (like a bus) kind of motor home. I have found one or two 2001, 2002 for 30K. I believe option 2 is a easier transaction because I only need to buy one thing and a relatively simple hitch to pull my car and I am good to go. However, is it a good option if I am planning to live in it and perhaps not drive the motor home at all for 1-2 years ? Too many question to ask but that is pretty much what in my mind at the moment. I hope I made it clear. Thanks for the help in advance and please I want to hear what you think!4.3KViews0likes23Comments
