[JC and John]

We own a 2016 class C. We enjoy the freedom to travel with our pets. We thought long and hard about buying an RV. I am a city girl who quit Girl Scouts because I didn’t like camping. My other half grew up camping in a travel trailer. Buying a motorized RV is a huge investment to be sure. Rent before you buy is the best advice and do your homework. Take heed of what others have posted on this site. It’s not just gas and oil you need to concern yourself with. Also, consider how you are going to get around after you have parked and set up camp as mentioned above. You can unhook and drive the RV, tow a car or rent a car to go get groceries or visit your destination. LOTS of things to consider. Again, do your homework! If not, then buying an RV especially now in a very hot market could cost you basically pennies on the dollar on your resale should you not like RVing. On the other hand, dealers are clamoring for used RVs now because of the market. Just a thought, used RVs are not like used cars. I am sure there are great deals to be had but know this, new or used RVs have plenty of things that can go wrong and yes, your brand new RV can spend weeks in a service bay. Ask around it happens more than you know. Did I mention homework and rent? We chose to RV because of our pets. Could not imagine going away for a month or longer and leave our pets in a kennel. The best take away is that camping (Glamping) is quite social, meeting fellow travelers, making new friends and seeing our great country. There is no right or wrong here. It’s all a personal choice. Good luck and safe travels,
