  1. We have a 31ft. 2002 class C motorhome, it was recently renovated when we purchased we’ve enjoyed it for 3yrs. We’re thinking of stepping up to a 5th wheel, we’re gone 4 months out of the year. The only thing, we are would like is a slider, in the bedroom,ours only has a slider in the living room, also I would like, a bigger bathroom. It’s paid for so the gas, and space to park, is our only cost, of coarse we live in a retirement area and they give seniors a discount to park. Do you think we would be making a mistake, by wanting to go bigger.
    Thank you

    1. Hi Pauline, well it all comes down to what you can afford. If you have the money to go bigger, sure go bigger if you want to have more space. BUT if you are going to struggle to make payments for a bigger RV, I would try it out first and keep the one that is paid for already. At the end it is your decision and you have to be comfortable with it.
      Hope this helps a little.

  2. Thanks, Conny for your detailed post. I want your suggestions on purchasing a camper or Type C Series vehicle at the RV Shows. Do they really give big discounts on these shows or is it just a scam?

    1. Hi, thank you for your question. Yes, they normally do, if they will do it this year is a question as the demand for RVs is very high. But I would definitely ask for discounts. Hope this helps.

  3. I liked how you mentioned that you can determine what RV you want by how much storage it has. My wife and I are wanting to travel the country and we were wondering how we could decide on an RV to buy. I’ll be sure to tell her that we should look for an RV that has a lot of storage.

    1. Hi Carl, I would definitely rent one before you buy. RV’s are so expensive and you want to be sure you pick the right one. Maybe also shop for a slightly used one and yes, check out different floor plans. Thank you and good luck, Conny

  4. I like how you mentioned checking the walls and cabinets to make sure there is no damage done. My parents are wanting to buy an RV since my dad is retiring next year and they can travel across the country. I’ll send him this so they know what to look for and what features they want in a new RV.

    1. Hi Taylor, thank you. Yes please tell your Dad to keep his eyes open for any water damage. Water damage is hard to repair and can turn out into a nightmare. But I am sure he will find the right one.

  5. My husband is thinking of buying an RV since that’s always been his dream, but we are looking for advice. I like that you recommend checking for dark spots under the windows or on the outside corners of the RV. We will definitely follow your advice so that we make sure we buy a good RV even though it’s a used one.

    1. Megan, thank you. Yes, make sure you have no water damage. This could really turn out bad. Take your time and check the roof and look inside cabinets. Take the checklist with you. I am sure you will find a good one.
