Re: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
We started 37 years ago with a tent, moved up to a bigger tent, then to a pop-up. The next unit was a mini class C which was fine except my 6'2 husband kept hitting his head on the handle for the roof vent. We then moved to a 26' fiver, which we really loved, but after a 3 month trip to Alaska decided it was a little too small. All our friends and relatives told us we needed a Class A. Really easy to set up, can get a drink and use the restroom while on the road, easier to back up, etc. We shopped for a long time and finally found a floor plan in a price range we liked in a 36'. What a mistake. It wasn't long before we discovered, 2 engines to maintain, insurance cost were doubled, taxes and registration were tripled, we still had to tow a car, still got wet unhooking the toad to get the monster parked. Tried to trade back into a fiver and what a beating the dealers were giving us. Thought we were going to be stuck in that thing forever. We finally found a buyer ourselves, took a $10000 loss, but it was worth it. We now have a new 29' fiver and are back in our element. unfortunately we learned the hard way that we are not MH material.517Views0likes0Comments
