Opinions etc.

Need to let everyone know, I try very hard to help people about RVing. We have been fortunate, in owning, a dozen's of 5th wheels or tag alongs, including a 2020 Motorhome. And many type trucks from 2500hds, 3500hds, 4500hds, up to a Freightliner. When we began our travels we bought a 5th wheel and had a brand new Chevy Silverado 1500 which was not capable of towing the 5th wheel. Our first Chevy HD was a 2500hd. We went to Key West for a month. Then returned and went to Canada, then we returned to Tennessee and wife decided she want a larger 5th Wheel, she bought a Keystone Everest. Went West for 4 months. Then she seen a Cambridge by Keystone, to this day I think the Cambridge was the best 5th Wheel Keystone ever made. Then we had to go to a 3500hd because the Cambridge was one of the heaviest 5th wheels we ever own. Then we bought a 2008 Landmark by Heartland, kept it 8 days. Went to a 2009 Mobile Suites, one year later we went to DRV manufacture and had them built us a Custom built 2010 Mobile Suites, many of the things YOU have today was because we had them built into our 2010 Mobile Suites. We traveled all thru out the lower 48 with the 2010. Then we sold every thing Truck, Mobile Suites because of illness in my wife's family. We stopped traveling for two years, then bought three tag alongs which never met our needs then back to 5th wheels. Sold the 5th wheel and truck again. Now we decided to go back to RVing, bought a 2020 GeorgeTown Motor home, on a Ford Chassis, never slept in it, traded it for our 2021 Montana 3762BP our first Montana in April. Have not use it yet, however, on 13 Nov. we will head to Florida for 6 months. I do not know everything for sure, however, I like to pass on my suggestions, and opinions. Which are only suggestions and opinions. The fact is RVing is stressful and be prepared to spend money. No RV today is perfect. One must deal with the issues. Don't let issue pile up, repair then as soon as possible.
Again, what I post is my opinion or suggestion. Good Luck... Time to go to Church.

Happy trails.

I think for a lot of people, they go through 3 RVs before getting the one that should have been first. For us, our 3rd or our 4th should have been our first.

Another thing to consider is the fact, as we pass through time, our needs change also. Nothing is stagnate. Life throws whammies at us all the time that changes our way of ... simply doing life. Jobs come and go. Our finances increase and decrease. Pandemics change the world!

The most important thing when stepping into the world of RV ownership is to remain flexible and expect change. Changer happens. After all, isn't that why RV have wheels?

Sometime we forget we are towing our home 70 MPH, and we know how ruff the roads. RV manufactures continue to make the RV's lighter and will less that desirable materials. We have not owned an RV of any type that we didn't have issues. YOU will have issues, for sure.

Happy trails.
