newbie questions
TIA to all you seasoned RVers for their patience with newbies. I am strongly considering becoming a full time RVer, and have a few questions. I will be able to purchase my RV outright, but beyond that will be living on a tight budget. In general my plans are to migrate. Staying at various places in the north of the US in the summer, then migrating south to Arizona, Texas, or Florida (somewhere warm) in the winter. I don't mind moving around a bit in either of these places, 2 weeks here - 2 weeks there. But I'd like to stay in places that don't cost too much, such as national parks and camp grounds out in the boondocks. How much can I can I expect to pay? I'm wanting to get a handle on what my budget will look like. I'm considering a class A or C toy hauler - or a class A or C with a motorcycle lift in the back (the bike will be my entertainment and local transportation). I'll be alone so I don't need tons of space so I'm thinking something in the 30 ft range. Gas or Diesel? Gas is cheaper, but is there any advantage to running a Diesel RV? Also, what should I expect to pay for vehicle insurance? and should I consider getting a plan for road side assistance? I'll probably make Texas my state of residence for tax reasons. I'll get my mail there and have it forwarded to me. Does anyone have any tips or things to consider regarding becoming a full time RVer? TIA4.1KViews0likes18Comments
