Re: How do I pick the right RV for my family?
I cannot thank you all enough for your kind and honest words. This purchase is defenitly a process and one we are not taking lightly. I feel like I research a little more each and every day. We have pretty much settled on a MH as it is very important to my husband and kids that they be comfortable on the actual road trip. Fortunately my husbands Navy career has tought him to be a mechanic so the additional maintenance does not bother him. We have also decided that we will rent our MH to other military families to offset some of our costs. It's not an ideal situation but one that greatly appeals to us financially. As DH starts his transition back to civilian life (retirement in 2017) our plan is to use the MH for weekend trips and family vacations. Ultimately working up to the post Navy retirement summer on the road! We are currently looking at a Thor Windsport 34J model. As far as we can tell now, it has everything we are looking for and while a pricey purchase it is well within our budget as is the insurance, gas and CG fees etc. Have not signed the dotted line just yet but hopefully by this fall we can share pictures of our first adventure!432Views0likes0CommentsHow do I pick the right RV for my family?
Good Morning- My husband and I are in the beginning stages of research and shopping for an RV that will suit our family. Our family is us, 2 kids (13 & 9, boy and girl) and our easiest kids our 2 Spaniels. My overall goal is to build better family relationships and spend our free time away from the technology that seems to continuously invade our lives. I want to escape, see our amazing country and spend quality time with the people that matter most. We are currenlty working the pro's and con's of purchasing a Class A or a 5th wheel and appropriate hauling pick-up truck. As is true with any relationship, husband is leaning towards one and I the other. What I would really like to gain from this forum is the opportunity to talk with RV'ers who own each and talk about how you are using it and what you like and dislike about your choice. It would be most helpful to talk to similar style families but of course any advice would be amazing. I am reading a ton of blogs but I am finding that most of them are full-time RV'ers and that is not what I am going for. We want to be casual weekenders initially exploring the areas within a 2-4 hour radius of our home in Southeast GA where my husband is stationed. I thank you all in advance for your wisdom! Sincerely, Amy (The Mom)7.5KViews0likes43Comments
