I am new to the RV world & would love to have some input & any suggestions anyone may have. My husband just left for Iraq a few weeks ago & me & our 5 month old son have moved back to Mo. to stay with family while my husband is gone as we sold our house right after he left. The reason I have been considering purchasing a 5th Wheel or Class A is because we really need our own space as I'm sure you can imagine. My husband will be gone about a year & a half & then we will be returning to KS only a few months before we move to FL. My thought was instead of renting a house here & then not really having a place to live for a few months in KS. when he returns & then for a few months while we find a home in FL why not get a RV. We have always wanted a Class A Diesel when he retires but for the situation we are in right now I'm not sure which way to go & really don't know that much about either one or the pros & cons on both. Both of our vehicles are all wheel drive so I have been told we can pull them behind a RV & we can't really afford both a used class A & another vehicle. On the other hand we don't have a truck to pull a 5th wheel but could by both for about the price we'd spend on an Class A. Whichever way we go it would end up sitting & we would just live out of it until my husband comes home in a year & a half. He does get a two week break this June so we might want to take a trip at that time & could wait to buy a truck until then if we went 5th wheel or just rent a car maybe if bought the Class A. After the 2 weeks it would be parked again until he comes home & we go back to KS for a few months where it would be parked again until we moved to FL. We thought we would just sell it after that but with living about 3 hours from Disney I was thinking we might just keep it & store it for when we got to Disney which would probably be pretty regularly. Anyway sorry for the long post I just don't know which way to go & I'm not even sure if this is a good idea. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions anyone has.
