NEW CAMPER IDEAS - Event Date: 24 Nov 2022

I am always looking at Lance. From what I understand a more quality build (and would love to hear differently if folks here disagree). 

A number of reasons, but generally - age, not comfortable towing the larger, longer unit after 70. Got tired searching for RV parks that had room for or allowed longer trailers. Less maintenance required and really didn't need the extra space for family anymore. Wanted something we could tow with a smaller pickup and on rural, unpaved roads more comfortably. (The smaller pickup worked better on the off road places we liked to go into after setting up.) Etc.

Jon, in my limited experience, you buy cheap that's what you'll get. But you can spend a lot and not be happy either. Shop a number of dealers' lots in your price range and get used to options, verbiage, and sales tactics. You should be comfortable - no pressure - read reviews. Many RVer's think they know what they want, then a couple years later get one bigger. We did, going from 18' to 27' to 30+ foot before going back to a 22' unit that has what we want at this point in our lives. Starting with a good, well cared for used one saves you from the depreciation you suffer from buying new. Take your time and enjoy your investment, have fun!
