So, the future is now and nobody can afford a house anymore, at least that's how it feels. All over the t.v., you hear about "Tiny Home" living. Here's the thing, they're putting a new "glam" name on something people have been doing for decades. What is tiny home living? It is living in: A modified bus, a fifth wheel, a travel trailer, a recreational vehicle, and even a camper. Look, until a few years ago, whenever someone said something about tiny homes you thought about shows like "Little Family," and "Little People, Big World." You thought about "little people" living in the world. It wasn't even about their homes being little, just them. But these days, "tiny home" is just a new spin on an old idea. For convenience, I'm lumping all of the varies types of "tiny homes" into the initials RV. So, glam aside you still like the idea of travelling the country in your own mobile home? We're right there with you! So, our first step is choosing the RV!
Now the first thing to do is know what you want. Do you want something that drives itself, or something you have to haul? Are you planning to camp out as much as possible, or only as a last resort? I'm the driver, so I personally prefer something that drives itself. That limits me to either a Class A, B, or C RV. The Class B is, essentially, a glorified van. That's not the most accurate description, but it's pretty close for our purposes. Dropping that, then, we're looking at a class C or a class A. Now the class A is, generally, going to be the more luxurious option. If possible we'd like a class A with a real toilet, walk in shower, queen or bigger bed, a desk for my computing needs and a place for Erin to do her crafting.While I'm inclined to like the class A, I aim to look at the C's as well, and find the best I can for the money we're planning to use.
Update: So we've hit up our local RV/auto dealer and found a couple of okay deals. We found a class A that's within our budget, but we're holding off until after the new year. Depreciation works both ways, dealership people! So, since we're not planning to leave until April or May we are going to hold off as long as we reasonably feel we can. I've also been comparing prices on the rvtrader.com website, and I'm reasonably sure that even if the dealership manages to sell the one we want that we can find another good RV for a good price. So, 2015 Itasca By Winnebago Sunstar 26HE, I'll be seeing you real soon! Although, to be honest, we're willing to go even older if the price is right. This model doesn't have a real desk area, but it's a little smaller which I read to mean a little easier to drive. Until next time, people!
