Know Your RV Score

We have only managed to narrow things down a bit to the point of knowing what we don't want but that in itself is a moral victory. Keep track of the features you don't necessarily need or want and that will help narrow your search.

Our perfect RV will be in the size range that we think will be manageable (how we arrived at that is another post) and will give us the four elements in a traveling home that we feel are things we can't compromise on. Our RV will be lived in for a quarter of the year in places like Oregon, Colorado, Alaska and we want to feel at home, not cramped. Your perfect RV may be anything from a Pop-up to a fancy motorhome depending on how you want to use it and how much time you plan to spend in it.

We Sure Like The Fifth-Wheels We've Seen

Can't afford the big guys and not sure I would have one if I could. And after having visited more RV lots than we can remember and talked to many "experts" at dealerships, RV shows and with private owners we find (at least at this point) that we are about 80% decided on a 5th wheel or "fiver", as they are sometimes affectionately called, something in the 27' to 30' range. This should make towing and maneuvering easier (especially for rookies like us) yet seems to be big enough to offer the most options in floor plans for rigs of that size. It also keeps the towing vehicle to three- quarter ton size with room to grow.
