Thanks for the feedback guys. The warning about crossing brackets is well-heeded, and perhaps if we find ourselves toward the bottom of the bracket a few years we will pull a bit more out and set aside (in CDs perhaps) to later apply to the purchase. We are planning on doing this a few years down the road, as we get toward the end of our renovation, while our house is on the market, and for maybe the first couple of years at TV. I'm not keen on dumping a lot of cash on rv storage so I want to get the wanderlust out of our blood in relatively short order. We have been RVing for years and have had a small motorhome in the past and have a large (to us) travel trailer currently. Our longest trips to date have been about 1 month, so the opportunity to head out for 3-4 months seems like quite an adventure!

Again, thanks for all the feedback.
