Retirement will spring to life in a few years
My wife and I have a Jayco Eagle 29RKDS now and while we do really like it,and love the chevy 2500HD Duramax that pulls it, we are looking at a class A, and favoring Thor. I’d like to live in the 45’ Tuscany, but I’d rather drive and store the 34’ Aria. We have three 60lb dogs that travel with us too.
I also have passion for designing electronics so my Eagle is in process of getting outfitted with self designed non contact level sensors on all four tanks, including a new 7” touchpanel and a custom wireless internet to tie it together.
I also do mechanical designs and use a laser cutter and 3D printer to bring newly imagined camper parts to life. Both of these things and more to solve problems that seem to exist in every low to mid end trailer I’ve seen. Like I don’t have to open the sliding panel on my screen door to get outside... I have a new retrofit kit that puts a handle on both sides! The creativity is half of my RVing fun!

Depends on how long your trips will be, but I wouldn't want to share a 34 footer with three large dogs for very long.
