I am still thinking you can travel America staying in motels and cabins cheaper than in an RV. Gas cheaper, Motel same as a RV spot. Up keep on rv expenses more. Hmmmmm

I started looking for a bigger travel trailer but soon realized I'd need a better tow vehicle. With the recent price hikes for both trucks and trailers, I found that a small Class C motorhome was more affordable. My Class C is under 25 feet long, so I drive it like a U-Haul truck, and so far, it's been great. My Class C can flat-tow my Jeep, but for now, I'm planning to carry an electric bike on the back. It's just me and my dog traveling. I will be out your way in Sept, Grand Canyon for two weeks.

Tim, paying $800 - $900 every month just for a place to park your RV is a lot of money. I remember RV spots were very cheap at one time.

The prices sure have gone up! Like everything else, I guess. This is another reason I am choosing a class B. No way I am paying those kinds of fees when I travel.

There are lots of ways to reduce the cost of parking the RV, but I don't think $800 is bad in these current, very inflationary, times.

In the desert, car batteries do not last as long, windshield wipers go bad quickly, and shoes fall apart quicker than normal due to the glue not holding up in low humidity. Mold and mildew are not problems; dry rot is a problem.

I have two towable campers ones a bumper pull toy hauler with a very open floor plan in the rear half thats been modified to be a large living room since I don't haul my ATVs anymore. I also have a gooseneck style camper. My truck is setup to pull either but the bumper pull is really more convenient.

🤠 Put some Hankook tires on your Crusher (Tow vehicle) Very tough tires. I got a look at them near oilfields,about 16 yrs ago. Was at a tire shop, for some motorhome tires.

Hubby & I prefer towables too, for the ease of getting around once you drop the trailer at an RV site. But we like our large 5th wheel, it feels like an apartment. At some point we may downsize, when hubs decides he doesn't want to tow a beast!

Do you tow it any Cindy? I know some women do. I think towing a fifth wheel would intimidate me. My boyfriend could, but I won't buy anything I can't tow myself. I did used to tow a TT. That was not too fun in busy areas like Atlanta!
@cindyonyoutube
2 ай бұрын
@@angelmission no, this one is almost 40 feet, so I feel like it's a bit too big for me to manage. Overall, I think towing a 5th wheel is easier than a TT, they just seem to track with the truck really well. We're thinking about downsizing to a smaller 5er, that I'll feel comfortable driving myself. You're right, towing through a busy city is no fun at all!!

RVs are sort of like Army Tanks in the old battle of maneuver vs survivability vs fire power. There is no end to it. Each impacts the other 2 negatively. Bigger RV more powerful truck. More powerful truck, more fuel. More fuel less to spend on RV. Buy a house and dig in.
