My family really wants an RV, but we don't know where to begin. We have no prior experience. What questions do we need to be asking ourselves to decide what is the most suitable RV for our family? Can anyone offer suggestions to us on which brands and options to look into?
We are a family of five: 2 adults and three children. Children are small but growing fast, do we need a bigger rig to grow into?
We are concerned about gas mileage due to gas prices (not so much global warming). Is it safe to assume a smaller travel trailer is more economical to haul than a 5th or Class C?
We would like to travel in the summer and winter months. Which rig is geared for four seasons?
We would like to travel several times a year over the weekend with 1-2 long trips back east. Those trips would probably last two weeks at the most. Would a travel trailer be too small in this case? My husband says his greatest concern is finding something that is comfortable for the entire family to travel in and enjoy. Although we are not necessarily looking to travel in luxury. Our family is close and knows how to get along very well with what we have. I would like to find a towable unit so that we could have full use of the vehicle while the rig is parked.
I am looking at a Bigfoot Travel Trailer 3000 T2801 Model. Would that be a good rig to start with? The Specs on that are
Dry weight 7338#.
GVWR is 9,980#
Hitch weight is 875#.
Average Axle rate is 2x 5500.
Which vehicle would be the best to tow that TT? If anyone could offer any feedback about that particular make, it would be great.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
