Hello all and hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
My wife and I are wanting to get into camping. For the last couple of months we have been taking, what we like to call, day trips. We live in west tennessee and have been I think to every rv dealer within 200 miles. We have seen so many campers they are all starting to look the same. I will say that even if we never buy one we have had a wonderful time looking . I do have some questions if someone don't mind answering them please.
I have a f-150 fx4 ford supercab that the owners manual says I can pull 8800 lbs. It also says the gvwr is 14500. The sticker on the door says it weighs 7200. Take 7200 from 14500 and that does not come up to 8800 Which one do I go by. I have asked all the dealers where we have been, but I get different answers.
We have seen so many different brands and models, one has something we like that the other dosent and vise virsa. Is there a brand we need to stay away from.
I would love to buy used to save a little money but the prices we have seen for used ones is only about 2-3 thousand below what I can get a new one for. I know 2-3 thousand is alot of money but when your spending 20-30 I think I might rather have new with a warranty. I have read on another site someone saying that if your just getting started don't buy new. Decisions Decisions Decisions!!!!!!!!!
Have many more questions but I leave with those for now. Thanks in advance for any replys!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY CAMPING!!
