Hi all, total RV novice here
My gal and I will be hitting the road as full timers mostly in the mid west and SE in about a year and half. short term were looking at 9 mo/year on the road for work and really need to get away from the motels/rentals as that money soo could be better spent in an RV/truck as we save up for a retirement place. Ive been doing ALOT of reading and picking through RV vids and have narrowed down matters to a good quality 5th wheel (perhaps used) and a diesel crewcab (probably dually). Want to get as big a 5th wheel we can legally pull in most any state (figure 55ft comb and 40ft max trailer - actual length not model number hocus pocus.)
After alot of reading considering full timing Ive got alot of concerns over pretty much anything recently made under the Thor or BH product lines as not really suitable for full time and lots of moves well need over the next ten years. Considering many of the better makers have been driven out of business by the larger conglomerates it seems choices of truly well built 5th wheels has shrunk alot. At this point theres a few used and fewer new ones that will fit that bill it seems to us. Vanleigh, DVR/MS, Newmar, Agusta Luxe & Ambition, New Horizon, maybe Redwood seem to carry decent frames/ construction. As far as trucks go were leaning RAM with the Cummins based on mostly probability of dependability and work ease...anyway hope to converse with you experienced owners over the next year and half and pick up as many tips as we can before the final trigger pulls...thanks in advance
