Re: buying advice for family of 5 plus grandma
I appreciate all of the responses and thoughtful advice. That's why I'm here. The financial reality check is valuable. IF we do make the purchase of an RV then we would camp our way on the way to pick up my mom. If she is game we would also make a slower return across the country. Mayo30 brought up some good points about how much we would all enjoy the trip back (kids are 10, 6 and 6). While I have given thought to buying an RV we would most likely re-sell this vehicle after the summer trip. Looked at renting but the costs add up quickly as well. There's alot to be said for asking Grandma to take just one more Amtrak ride. Less of a family adventure but hey - we could always take her off the train in Denver and road trip back if that is fun for all.320Views0likes0Commentsbuying advice for family of 5 plus grandma
Greetings and thanks for reading. I appreciate your patience with another noobie. Grandma is moving from the east coast to the west coast this summer to be closer to grandkids. She doesn't fly and Amtrak is $$$. We are thinking of driving east, picking her up by RV and then returning west. My wife and I are teachers so we have the time - money, not so much. What's our best bet? We would do best with a smaller vehicle (B or C?) that can accommodate three adults and three kids and are open to some of us tent camping alongside the RV. A used RV is the best bet but I would appreciate any other buying/manufacturer advice that you can offer. Thanks, RM3KViews0likes15Comments
