Our Jouney begins in finding the right RV for our home

I have been researching online for over 3 years now. In the beginning we were looking at the nice big fancy 5th wheels, but they also carry a nice hefty dollar amount with a monthly payment. Plus we'd have to invest in a heavy duty tow unit. Even though the extra space would of be nice for those rare times family comes to visit. Then we started looking at the used units as many Rver's have advised us that sometimes it's best for first time buyers to go with a used unit.

In the beginning hubby wouldn't even consider a motor home, he wanted a 5th wheel. Myself, because of several factors was interested in the motor home units. Reasons being were:

1. I felt they would be easier for me drive

2. safety reason when parking over night .. we wouldn't have to leave the unit during the night time for any reason, as going to the bathroom, if we needed to make a fast exit for some reason

3. It would be a extra vehicle if needed when hubby or i was away in the tow vehicle

After looking at new and used tow units, we decided to start looking at the motor home units. After we started looking at the motor home units we started liking them. During the past few years we have gone back and forth in what was best for us, but after weighing the pros and cons, the decision was finally made and we decided that a motor home would be the best type of unit for us to go with for several reasons:

1. we could purchase a used motor home unit for the price of a used tow unit

2. we both liked the idea that i would have access to the bathroom while traveling down the road if need be. (that is a big plus with my back injury)

3. If need be it could be used a second vehicle in case of an emergency

So today we were suppose to head North to look at a 1987 Mallard Class C 28' motor home. The woman called and said the news was predicting freezing rain and snow for them tonight and tomorrow, so we decided that Monday would be a a better to go. Plans put on hold once again ... grrrrrrrrrrr Hopefully, they don't sell it before then.

Hmmmm ... will the Mallard be our new home?
