[QUOTE="Lil, post: 737832, member: 17309"] Oh you're talking RV's! I want one SO BAD. I have always been able to imagine myself living in an RV or a camper or a van (down by the river - LOL! SNL anyone?) Really, when I was young and childless my favorite fantasy was to just sell everything I owned, get my paycheck, default on all my bills and buy a camper or van and just GO! Drive until I was out of money and gas and get some crappy waitress job and start over. Maybe even use a new name. LOL... I grew up of course and have no desire to be so poor I HAVE to live in a van...and I have Jabber and a kid that I at least get a text from once in a blue moon. Plus, it's way harder to change your name and disappear now. :p Still, I love the idea of living in an RV...even full time! Jabber and I will both have retirement income after all, so if we didn't have BILLS like in a house - I could be quite happy I think. :) My goodness that's going to be a LONG vehicle! Has your husband driven it that way yet? I can't imagine anything that long, although some of those big Class A's are AMAZING. Jabber and I are always looking at them. We've wasted more salesmen's time than you can imagine. lol - Last place we looked at these Class A's that cost more than our HOUSE! They were nicer inside than my house too! But we've decided that a C is probably our best bet - the kind with the cab-over? We'd just use that part for storage, since we'd want the queen bed in the back. I love the B's - the Camper Van's? But they're just too small. Would be great for one person, but the bathrooms so small you can't close the door in is a deal-breaker for us. We'd like about 22 -25 feet and tow a LITTLE car - like a smart car or Fiat or something. MAYBE a very, very small SUV, like a Jeep. That would actually be best for mountains. If not a C then an actual camper trailer - still doesn't have to be big, just enough to have a decent bed and bathroom. We've seen some really, really nice ones. All things considered, given we own a truck that won't be paid off any time soon, if we were to do it sooner rather than later, that's what we'd really get, the trailer. I foresee travel difficulties. :) But really, if it's JUST highways, you could have a LOT of fun taking the scenic routes, there's always some way to get from point A to point B off the big interstates and there's lots of stuff to see that way. I'm a nervous passenger. Makes Jabber crazy. I'm FINE driving.
