Will we buy an RV now that the trip is completed? I still don't really know. I have a lot of thoughts on this - we talked about it the entire trip. See, here are the thoughts on each type of RV.
Class A RV - those are so badass and beautiful and they look so cool. However, they are hard to maneuver and there are some places you just can't go with a Class A. They must be hard to drive on windy roads or mountainous roads. Yes, we could tow a vehicle with a Class A, and that would be helpful, but gas mileage must be hideous if you're towing!
Class C RV - This is what we rented. These are great for lots of sleeping spots. I don't really mind the Class C, but a good one - with slides and about 30' long would be a MUST. I suppose we could tow a vehicle with a Class C, but I didn't see many people with those towing.
Fifth Wheel - These are so amazing inside. I seriously can't believe how nice a Fifth Wheel is. The best part of the Fifth Wheel is once you park at the campground, you can unhook the truck and have something to drive around town with. The bad part of the Fifth Wheel is that no one can ride in the back, everyone has to be in the truck.
Travel Trailer - So, we could always get a general tow-behind trailer. We could have a nice truck or suburban and tow our travel trailer. Some of those are remarkable inside and have interiors like lovely homes. The good part of this would be we could use a Suburban type vehicle to tow it, so we could have a nicer ride. The bad part is that no one can ride in the back. The good part is that we could park the trailer at the campground and just take the truck/SUV and drive around to see the sights.
So you see, there are good points and bad points to just about every one of the RV options. Another important point is that we cannot store the RV in our yard or driveway. We would have to pay to store it offsite, and that kinda sucks cause I would like to be able to use the RV at a moments notice instead of driving over to pick it up, and the cost of storage will simply add to the overall cost of owning an RV.
So there you have it - no decision has been made!
