[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2939297, member: 5485"] Looks pretty nice. The trade off is it's a little harder to park at a restaurant on the road than if you had a trailer/5th wheel that you could unhitch, but way easier to set up at the campsite. Nothing to hitch/unhitch, easier to fuel up. I've seen tons on that type on the road and at campgrounds, so I think they're pretty popular. My best advice: figure out what you absolutely must have on the road with you and then see if it will all fit AND if it has the weight capacity. Amazingly, most rvs are almost at capacity just sitting on the sales lot. Lots of storage space doesn't necessarily mean lots of payload is available. Somewhere on the vehicle you're looking at will be a GVWR decal that tells you how much the thing weighs at maximum capacity and what it's "dry weight" (what they sell it as) is. The difference is the available payload. Usually just a few hundred pounds. This will have to include all passengers, water, propane, food, supplies, tools, etc. Second thing I'd recommended is to find a forum on that brand/model and see what owners are saying. Good luck, and I think you'll enjoy it overall. It's pretty cool to be able to just pull over and use the restroom, have lunch, bird watch, hear some tunes, whatever. [/QUOTE]
