Hi Redbearded, Thanks for the information! So true that everyone has their own opinion. We are sure that we want a travel trailer now. We narrowed it down to 2 different brands. Now we need to pick a floor plan. We are traveling to the RV show in Hershey Pennsylvania before we decide. That will...

The question mark was supposed to be a smiley face! No worries, I'm not at the end of my rope, just sick of cold weather!

Hi Bettle, We want see how difficult and expensive it is to find campgrounds on our own for a year before joining TT. We want to travel the entire USA before joining because they aren't located everywhere. We will definitely purchase one through a broker when do. How difficult is it to find a...

Night Sailor, Thanks, we love that it will be cheaper on fuel. That's why we are looking at something small. The small tanks are fine with us. We will probably be hooked up to electricity & water most of the time. We are trying to find a used one that's in our price range. The new B+ models are...

Stargazer, You've had just about every type of camper throughout the years. We've also had a pop-up camper pulled by a motorcycle and a travel trailer. Honestly, the popup was a lot more fun! A lot less hassle and there really wasn't much that could break. We thought about doing that again...

JD Gumbee, we are still shopping around. Maybe there's another type of B+ with a Murphy bed that is on a GM or Ford chassis. We found a class C Winnie that wasn't a Mercedes, but it was gas. We want to travel in Colorado, etc and want to make sure it has enough power for mountains. Homeless in...

Knit, Yes it is a B+ with a Murphy bed and a small slide. The floor plan is spacious, especially when the bed is up. Better square footage then some class C's we've found. The mobility of it is the reason we want something smaller. We want more than 6 miles to a gallon when traveling. We want to...

Bullfrog, if we tow the Honda Civic it would be on a trailer. I will check into the escapees club. Thanks Wandering Rose and B and C, My husband and I get along, but I do worry about getting something too small. The Leisure Travel is a B+ so it's pretty spacious. We love the outdoors, hiking...

sushidog - The class B said that we can tow up to 5000#. I drive a Honda Civic now and it weighs 2700 pounds or maybe a motorcycle on a trailer. I'm not crazy about the motorcycle because I can't drive it. We've seen some motor homes that aren't built very well and are just trying to avoid...

RoamerRV428 - We are looking into purchasing a transferable membership for Thousand Trails. The price is around $4,000, so we really want to check around to make sure that's a good deal. We don't want to boon-dock or park at a casino. I know this sounds like I'm spoiled, but I want a hot shower...

Bullfrog, we are also considering seasonal jobs to help with the insurance costs. I love to hear about people retiring early and enjoying life! We will probably buy a motor home because we plan to travel to all the states within a few years. Wandering Rose, I am sorry to hear about your...

Lucky you for retiring early! We've lived on a budget for years, so that is part of our life. Yes, we would wait until the Spring to list our home. My toughest part is getting rid of all of our furniture, pictures, etc.  I'm already considering what we would keep regarding the kitchen items...

Thank you! There is so much information on this forum! We want to travel quite a bit at first. Maybe stay in some areas for a month during the winter months.   We found a travel trailer that we liked, but are more concerned about how it is built, than the class B. We would probably purchase a...

My husband and I are thinking of selling our home, buying a Leisure Travel class B on a Mercedes and traveling the country. We've also thought about purchasing a truck and a small travel trailer. We are considering all costs, including maintaining and repairing a class B vs. a truck/TT. Any...
