Windy, dirt roads, off-grid boondocking - what kind of rig should I buy?

[twogypsies]

If you read her other posts which began March 2017 - she has a 1988 Coachman Catalina trailer and has lived in it full-time. So she's not new to RVing.

I just wish she'd return and let us know if anything we suggested helped or not and what she's going to do.

.....

...well. in fact I did not read every post Nicole has ever made in every OTHER thread she has participated in ....but in her first post in THIS thread I believe she said that she had never towed anything (!! that sound like maybe a newbie to towing in my book)

... and that she didnt really know the difference between Class A and C except for 'maybe their nose' (that sounds kinda like a newbie to me )


...that and other things she said strongly imply to me she is new to RVing. No big deal. She clearly was asking for suggestions though.


But regardless of that, ... my point was that her desire to be out in the quiet solitude of the outdoors got interpreted by her somehow as going to places that you will 'fall off cliffs'.


That to me is a surmountable situation.
There are innumerable places to safely and enjoyably drive a Class-C and be safe and happy.


And again I wish Nicole well !

My research suggests that a Class A would give me lots of size, but no maneuverability and could end up falling off a cliff in the mountains.

A Class B looks too small to live in full time, especially with a dog and a potential partner.

A Class C doesn't seem that much different from a Class A and I'm not sure I really understand the difference between them except that Class A has a flat face and Class C has a nose.

A travel trailer plus tow vehicle worries me that the trailer might go off a cliff on a sharp turn, but I'm not sure. I've never towed anything before.

A converted schoolbus seems to be basically the same issues as a class A, except no slides but lots of windows.

Can anyone give me some advice for what to be looking for?

This is an old thread, so I'm probably wasting this help - but here is the perfect RV for one (or two) to full-time live in comfortably anywhere in the U.S. that a 4X4 pickup can go - they're not too too expensive new, but a used one would offer the most value:
Tiger Models - Tiger Adventure Vehicles


(Study the information thorougly - these ARE NOT "truck campers" per se. They're way more rugged and stable than a truck camper because the coach part is permanently built on to, and connected to, the base truck frame itself.)
