Calling on the BBC team to give me your insight once again. Wife is serious about us getting one so today we officially began the tire kicking. We made the promise not to rush and learn as much about them as possible and then wait on the right deal.
- We went to a local dealer (Camping World) this morning and started getting familiar. Since its just the two of us and a couple of small terriers, we narrowed it down to a 24-27 foot with slide outs. Anything smaller will not cut it.
Budget - $20K
The new ones we looked at were right in the $25 - $30 range, but why spend that when a ten year used is going for about half.
What are things to be aware of in the used market? The slide outs look like a leak waiting to happen. We did look at a few used models on the lot, but some smelt dank, cigaret smell, and I couldn't see myself laying on a mattress or furniture someone else had their azz in.
Tires - lurking here, I'd most likely switch out to LT's.
We would have to get a tow pig to handle the chores and I'm a fan of GM Tahoe SUV or even a pppp... pp..ppp'.... pickup in the 1500 size. (joking as I haven't owned a truck in 30 years). Would a 1500 work for towing duties as that range of trailer is around 6K pound?
Appreciate it as always.
