I am hoping to get a little advice on RV's. As I have mentioned Steve retires from the Air Force Sept 1, 2013. He will be pretty much done with the day to day stuff and trips as of Mid June 2013. Yay! Unfortunately we probably have one more deployment in Feb/March .
We are sort of thinking of getting an RV since we will now have time to spend together as a family. And the kids are at the age they still want to spend time with us.
We know nothing of RV's and the best time to buy one, where to buy one. Independent vs Dealer. We will definitely be buying used probably. At least 7 or 8 years or older. We are looking at both a class C and a Tow Trailer (Not 5th Wheel). Not big/Not super deluxe/ and will sleep 6. We think we are leaning towards a Class C because of the ease of just being able to get in and go. Also, I could go on my own. I know I wouldn't drive a truck and trailer. But getting a used truck and a tow behind for the price of a class C is appealing too.
Other than looking online and walking through 3 Rv's at the fair, we have not seen much. I am just figuring out where to start. Any thoughts? Any preferences? Best places to look (Rv Shows, dealers, Online)? Thoughts about Class C's and Trailers for a family?
We are thinking of driving up to Alaska next summer. And then touring our national parks and monuments on trips after that.
I know this isn't food related, but this is the only place I know a few of you have RV's or have had them, or are thinking of them...
Thanks
