Its the best for weekend camping but I cannot recommend it for long term touring around the country.  Just my opinion

Thanks. Some of the reasons you mention were also on my list. I see that you are in NJ. When you are ready, I highly recommend Keystone RV Megastore located in Greencastle, PA. They sell many brands including Flagstaff and rpods. Honest, ethical, and great deals without haggling. Worth the drive.
