not sure if this is the correct place for thisquestion but since i am prepairing to buy my first rv.......................
about us
late 30s me and my wife no kids - wife is severly ill with neurological disease - we dont know how long she has!
currently in a wheel chair - she has been stuck in bed and stranded alone while i work 10 to 12 hour days 6 days a week for to long - time to fullfil one of her dreams b4 its to late - we want to go full time
we have been shopping for a while but timing hasnt been there
trying to choose between :
class A
american coach tradition 2002 40'
cost 130k
obviously has evrything we want but - conserned with 40' coach being to large to go everywhere we want to go
with my wifes condition we will want to get as close to the scenery and widerness as we can
class a
tiffin allegro bay 2008 35'
cost 139k
has w/d and all we want - but even though its a diesel im concerned with the engine in front and long term ware- i also hate to buy new cuz of depreciation - i know the tradtion is much better but we want to have acess to state parks and wilderness and would like to be able to drive roads like the blue ridge parkway
class C diesel
Senaca 2006 35' with custom added w/d in closet area
cost 100k
more familiar to drive- cost less so gives us more money to travel - easy to get on curvy roads - realy is perfect for us but im severly concerned with the lack of storage in comparison to a class A - and also worried about water compacity with w/d and only a 65 gallon fresh water tank - since it takes 20 gallons to do a load of wash
we do want to dry camp alot - for this reason we have gone away from the 40" coach even though it really is the most for the money - we also thought to go with the 35ft to allow us to stay in state parks - we dont want to feel like our RV is parked in a parking lot - will a 35' coach give us considerably more options to park in private setting
privacy privacy privacy - we want to feel like we are camping - camp fires and marsh mellows but with running water and toilet
problem is i love - i mean love the american coach line but im worried about restricting the places we can go to get that private nature type setting that most of the Rv parks seem to not have (or atleast the ones i have seen)
they have RVs squeezed in as tight as the can - it looks like an RV sales lot to me
any advise????????????????
