Full Time RVing Part 2

     Expanding on the premise of RVing full time. I have come across a boat load of articles and blogs and magazines as well. But I have found out that the experience is nothing like what you read. You tend to see more negative articles from people who have a hard time adapting to the lifestyle. It is quite a change to the lifestyle of the everyday norm. Most people will have that scare right off the bat of “what am I doing?” most will adapt very quickly to the process. What I mean about adapting I mean downsizing all the stuff you do in life. You will leave a smaller footprint on your soundings. But in the long run you will also relieve a great amount of stress as well. The one thing that you will have to remember is you cannot carry all your worldly belongings and excess stuff with you and that in-turn takes even more stress off of you. The more stress you relieve the better you will feel.

     Like I said my first write up, you will have to pick an RV to start with. So let’s start with the pros and cons of each class. Travel Trailer Class: First off for long term travel you will want to pick one with the correct amount of room and the correct amount of storage. (Listen to your wife) Happy wife happy life. Most if not all your major brands today they all come with slide outs. This is a great feature for adding room to the overall area of the trailer. They can also range in sizes from 19’ to 30’ or even larger. They can also range from 4000lbs to around 15.000 lbs. depending on your pulling capacity. Half ton trucks should stay at their GVWR as per the factory standards. Example: If your factory standard is 12.500 lbs. and your truck weighs 7000 lbs. the trailer should not exceed 8000 lbs. And another great feature is sway bars which I highly recommend, because when you are going down the highway it will help maintain a stable ride and will distribute the weight according. Some of the most important things to understand is that everything is done in smaller amounts, you know cloths, jewelry you know those things we always worry about. Smaller amounts mean smaller worry.    Price on this one is around 9000.00. 21ft about 3000lbs.

31ft Wildwood and weight around 6000lbs. and an average price of 18,000 to 21,000.

I suggest you find your local RV Dealer or Camping World to find the right Travel Trailer for you.

My next write up will be on 5^th wheels and Class A RV’s.
