Hello everyone,
My wife and I officially have the RV bug! After countless family vacations dealing with expensive hotels and nights at the campgrounds in a hot tent we have decided to buy an RV. We are in the research phase right now. I've read the "Idiot's Guide to RVing" to get familiar with all the terminology and technology. We've looked at countless pictures online of RV's, floorplans, etc. and I'm starting to work my way through this forum. Based on our current vehicle and financial situation we've decided to get a travel trailer.
With the school year about to start (Wife's a teacher and we have 3 kids) we won't have time to take a vacation until Thanksgiving so we're not in a rush to buy one. We're going to head out this weekend to look at some of the dealers (Houston area) to actually see these things in person.
Any advice before heading out would be greatly appreciated. New vs Used, How old is too old, manufactures to avoid, etc.
Thanks,
-Scott
