I will never buy another. The Starcraft we purchased was junk. got to use it 3 times in 3 years we owned it. once when we were taking it to its new owners. Never again.
“You get what you pay for with RVs. They arent built to be lived in for more than a few days.”
My sister and her husband have been living in their 5th-Wheel for 2 years now. I actually visited them and stayed in their RV for a long weekend at Fort Wilderness at Walt Disney World and had a blast. Three of us were in there and I was not overwhelmed.
Now, you are correct, in so far as I was ready for the comfort of my home after that amount of time, but mostly due to sleeping in their spare bed, not their master suite.
RV’s have come a long way. Here is their model: https://www.jayco.com/rvs/toy-haulers/2021-seismic/
I believe that.
From watching the Walking Dead, everyone knows that having an RV is a critical must have after an Apocalyptic event.
Lot cheaper than current home prices. At least where we are.
My wife and I and our 3 big dogs have been living in a 32 foot travel trailer since last September while our home is being built in NW Montana. With a few modifications we made it through the winter OK. We had a crooked contractor and had to take over the build ourselves. Its been a challenge but we shall overcome!
no doubt there’s many people getting rich these last two yrs...just look at govt workers...never missed a paycheck...
Like everything, there clearly are different levels of RVs and some, really are not designed or spacious enough for most people to want to live in all year round.
It depends on what works for you at the moment. Are you young? Have a lot of stuff? Kids? Pets? What can you afford to buy? What level of quality do you have to have, minimum? Space requirements? Fuel issues? Can you afford to maintain it?
Travel Nurses often use an RV to go to their assignments on the cheap and bank the per diem.
Elkhart/Goshen area RV companies are starting to reduce production. Some are working 4 days/week. Some down to three.
I have a mobile home park on my delivery route that has RV’s in it as main residences, some having been there longer than me. I’ve been there 15 years.
Beautiful picture.
Stick your Snowbird with your ttude up your @ss. There are good brands out there but most are not meant to be lived in. But then wtf would I know after living in Trucks and rv camps in oil fields of South Dakota?
Wow!
*Smooch*
Have you ever asked any of them about plumbing, electrical, heat/ AC and other issues that have come up? People do it but stuff goes wrong faster than it does in conventional and mobile homes.
Looks great but how well is the heat, AC, toilet, shower, sink and so on built? Things get real after a couple of weeks or so.
