Congratulations, we are retired and travel extensively in our RV AND LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. I like having my own bed and bath and especially knowing who slept in it the night before BUT MOST OF ALL WHERE EVER WE ARE, OUR HOME IS WITH US as I dont sleep well in strange beds nor do well in restaurants three times a day grrrrrrrr.

Still, were free to dine where and when we want and at the Natl Parks spend all the time we want in their Magnificent Lodges public and dining areas. IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE LODGE AT MANY GLACIER OR THE TALL TREES LODGE OR THE YELLOWSTONE INN YOU AINT SEEN NUTTIN LOL and you dont have to stay there to see it, our RV was in the parking lot.

ANOTHER BIG PLUS if in your own RV with bed n bath n kitchen, you dont wear out your welcome near as fast when visiting kids n grandkids lol


HOWEVER its NOT for everybody and thank God we all have choices and preferences, wouldnt it be boring if we were all alike?? Actually, Im glad more people arent like me and prefer hotels and restaruants three times a day because the RV world is getting crowded enough the way it is lol ITS A BAD LIFESTYLE I DONT RECOMMEND IT wink wink wink.

Of course there are cost trade offs, it costs us more for gas, but we save a ton on restaurants and motels each night. ITS A MATTER OF CHOICE AND LIFESTYLE, to each their own!!!!


I have owned several Class A,,,,,,,Class B,,,,,Class B+,,,,,,,,,Even truck campers and as were more TRAVELERS then go just to one place and stay 6 months (for that Lifestyle a Fifth Wheel is GREAT and MUCH BETTER) and since we love the National Parks, National Forests, BLM and Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds and mountain terrain (Utah and Colorado), AND A LOT OF TRAVEL,,,,,,,,,, a somewhat smaller, more driveable, lower center of gravity, much easier to drive, less wind resistance, better MPG, easy in and out front doors, more maneuverable, easier to park in Natl Forest and navigate mountain passes, THE CLASS C WORKS BEST FOR US. When we go to Florida to stay 3 months we tow the car behind.

Class A's seem to have more prestige or at least some who own them believe lol?? They have more room and storage and are best if you stay long periods at one place BUT NOT AS HANDY IF YOU WANT TO TRAVEL A LOT AND BE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND OUT WEST (just to darn big n heavy n bulky and harder to get around mountain switchbacks). Many Natl Parks or Natl Forest where we stay either have size limits,,,,,, or the roads to them are tough to negotiate,,,,,,,,,or the sites were designed in the sixties for smaller units, so a huge Class A wouldnt work for our travel and our lifestyle.

Sooooooo its your money your choice but it sure depends on if you TRAVEL more like us, orrrrrrrrrr just go to a few locations and stay there long periods of time where a Fifth Wheel and a big Class A would shine.

Take in the National Parks whatever you do. AGAIN the free spirited traveling portable roaming RV lifestyle IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, thats why theres plenty of hotels and restaurants out there for the non RV crowd, but hey sometimes we go there also lol lol Thats it WE HAVE THE OPTIONS

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
