Welcome to iRV2. Since you are new to RVing, I'd strongly suggest that you rent one first and give it a try. With just a few days in an RV you will quicly see what you like and dislike. It will cost a few $$$ to rent one, but it is better than making a mistake and getting the wrong RV and spending many more $$$$$$.

Absolutly correct! Our dilema wasn't if we wanted the RV lifestyle it was what type of RV to buy.
I retired a year ago. I bought a travel trailer about 8 months before I retired. About 6 months after buying the travel trailer We found out that a motorhome was much better suited to how we wanted to travel. I traded the travel trailer for the motorhome and lost about $5K in the process.
Not a terrible finacial hit, but I could have rented initally, for much less, and saved a few bucks from the get go.

Thanks for the info. The more I read, it's looking like a motorhome would suit our needs best. Maybe pull a trailer with a Jeep and small fishing boat in it.
