[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4179210, member: 7900"] Seriously consider how you want to RV before making a purchase. For instance, in our case, we chose to travel to some place and spend months so that we could see as much in that area as possible. For such a plan, a towable (think fifth wheel for space to live in) is best because one can park the RV and drive around in the tow vehicle seeing things. Motorhomes do best when one is moving on fairly regularly. Those in the RV world believe that a motorhome needs to be "exercised" so as to keep seals and bearings in good shape. In all honesty, we have been living in our RV now for 12 years, and the last five years we have been in the same RV park. We've decided that for the cost of diesel to tow the fifth wheel around, we could stay in hotels much cheaper if we want to travel. It is great getting to go see new places, which is one of the things the wife and I have been blessed with. As for bucket list stuff, after my knees get fixed next month and I recuperate, I imagine the wife and I will do some more traveling. We have relatives now in Virginia and Idaho. Idaho we've been to numerous times, but we've spent very little time in Virginia. [/QUOTE]
