Sister moving to Tx from CA. so a great area to winter. Then back to NC Mtns. For summer near grandkids. I will need to workkamp. (Background in sales.) Did pop-up growing up & then tent camped at 31 with two boys to Grand Canyon. Can't wait for the adventure to begin. All the doubters get out of my way !!

Welcome and if I may say, Go and drive both the C and an A, you'll find that the Class A isn't that hard to drive and give you so much more room! Just my Opinion here!

Then there's me! I had my RVcriteria list but couldn't find anything that met it. Went on Ebay and there it was!! The perfect Class C that I could afford if I could win the bid on it. However, it was in Tampa and I live in Oregon. After many emails and photo exchanges, I bid on it anyway and won the bid!! Bought it sight unseen. Yep! I freaked out and so did all my family and friends.. Flew to Tampa Florida and drove it home to Oregon with no problem.(did have it checked out real well before I left Florida for the trip, but a little too late for the sale decision). It has turned out to be the best deal ever. Just lucky. I am turning 65 in May and retiring. I will be jumping in that thing and headin out!! I am in major purging mode as I, too am going to sell my home. Trying to fit everything important in my RV. Amazing how much crap we acquire over the years.. I look around and it is all just "stuff". Most of it isn't important to me at all. I feel such a weight coming off.. My friends and family think I'm a bit nuts.. So watch out for me, we might run into one another!! Keep in touch!

You are something, campfiregirl! I am moving slowly but surely with this venture! Went to another dealership last Friday, and I may go class A. I just think I will need the room. I am also looking at rigs in Florida. Probably not going to do anything til Spring. This going through stuff takes time...I can 't have a yardsale because not allowed by Home Owners Assoc. ....so either Craig's list (not so good) or consignment stores. Having worked in the Furniture industry & decorating it is hard to part...but it's all gotta go sometime...kids don't want it!
What did you end up getting with your Class C? I was pretty sold on that size for a while. I am leaning towards older Winnebagos & Fleetwoods. But of course that is subject to change!!
Yeah...thanks for the shout out. Let's keep in touch!!

Thanks for your input! We certainly live in a great state for camping, don't we! I looked at a
Class A, last Friday. You are right...gonna be a better size for me. I plan on going back during a weekday & road test it. I am surprised at some of the used prices not too bad...Lots to research. I just finished reading "Buying a Used Motorhome" by Bill Myers. Very helpful. Hope to see you out there sometime!
