ℹ️About the episode:
We've had 5 RVs in 4 years. I guess that's not normal, but we've also produced 272 videos about RVing which isn't normal either! One of the reasons we change RVs so quickly is to expand our experience so we're able to share and to keep us in "learning mode". With all this RV changing, we've been getting countless emails on how to pick the right RV and how not to lose money. In this video, we share how to pick the RV that's right for you, how to mitigate depreciation, RV warranties and more!

Today is Tricia's birthday so we're going out! A couple more how-to-ish videos and then we pick-up the new rig and prepare for 7 months on the road. So many great places to see this year! We're looking forward to hitting the road again and getting back into a rhythm of travel and releasing travel videos!
Many have asked if the COVID-19 has changed our travel plans. The short answer is yes. But one of the lessons fulltime RVing teaches us to remain flexible. Our plans are always changing due to forest fires, closed freeways, low bridges, family needs and more. That is just part of life.
We know from past events that "this too shall pass" and in the meantime, we remain cautious, healthy and flexible. Perhaps RV travel is the best way to get out during this time, but it's important to be self-contained and self-reliant and perhaps not too far from home should medical attention be required.
Thanks..great video too! Look forward to seeing your new rig!
Happy Birthday Tricia. Your looking great dear lady, and you definitely don't look old enough to have the three children you have. Thank you for this issue of KYD, it was a welcome eye opener for me. I look forward to the April reveal.
Happy Birthday Trish!!
Tricia Happy Birthday!!!! ❤️
Thanks for the tips.... lots to add on to All our thoughts 🤔
Happy Birthday Tricia!!! Hope your day is blessed!!
I am half way done the video and as a RV Salesman.... I AM SUPER IMPRESSED With your TIPS!!! I 100% Agree with everything your saying! I love it! ....ps The best way to buy a New RV is by Calling me :)
Thanks Matt. Just like every video... our list of things we wish would have said are long!
I think it would have been more fair had you mention that depreciation on your rigs was likely protected by the upgrades that you did. Some of which I assume were not out of pocket expenses. Not judging you for the free products you recieved. Well deserved. Unlikely most KYD viewers would have access to those upgrades, thus not having the same protection from depreciation.
Upgrades just make a rig easier to sell. It's all blue book and condition of the vehicle. Nothing more will add to the value.
I would say that it is easier to sell something to someone you know, that knows the history, that knows it has been well taken care of, whether it is family, friends, or KYD viewers as well.
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova I really do not understand your logic..Are you an RV salesperson. You will pay more for upgraded generators, custom carry racks, AGM batteries, 12 ply tires...and the list goes on
It's like selling a house. If you put in 12k in hardwood floors your not going to get that back on the resale side. It will make the house more desirable and therefore easier to sell.
You are right and I too have no problem. I happened across their video when they got the Grand Ginger toyhauler and Marc said it was their strategy to minimize depreciation by leveraging the free upgrades they got from their partners such as Battleborn. He said that way they could switch often and provide info to viewers. I enjoy the results.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tricia
Hope you had a great day.
Safe travels and good health.
Love the Mr Mom reference! Haven't thought about that movie in a bit. If you need me I'll be at the gym or the gun club.
Great video. Been following along for years now. Curious of your thoughts on buying from a dealer (new & used) in today's climate. Thanks in advance!
My wife always says our first trailer was a mistake. I say No No, it was perfect because we learned what we wanted, hated and couldn't live without. Our trailer now is the one we couldn't live without.
Great advice. Reminds me of that saying: “The best camera is the one you have with you”. The best trailer is the one you can afford!
great advice
Y’all are my favorite Sunday evening pastime. 😁
Love your current rig, it’s reinforced my decision after much research to purchase a teardrop from @Tcteardrops from Wausaw, WI
Yaaa! Wausau
You have the KYD factor that we don't have when selling your RV's.
They want your unit.
Can you factor that out?
I was thinking this same thing, fans want to buy your rigs...
Exactly! People have been watching the videos and feel they know the rig and how it was maintained. Plus there is the I bought the KYD RV. That gives them bragging rights at RV parks.
Also, how are they considering the discount for marketing? Buy a $30k rig, dump $10k in free/discounted upgrades and then sell for $30k and claim you had zero depreciation is a bit disingenuous.
@@travelintammy6073 Yes , exactly. You "mitigate depreciation " by creating a successful RUclips channel, get sponsors to provide upgrades for reviews and completely leave those out of the value increase those free upgrades provide to the RV.
I live in Wyoming and I would love to see you guys spend some time in this beautiful state. We have the Big Horn mountains, Medicine Bow National Forest, Wind River Mountains, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Exceptional hiking in all those places. And if you haven’t yet hop up into Montana and visit Glacier National Park, you will want to go back again and again.
Definitely need to spend a summer there, camping for 2 mnths ! I'm a nature freak! Live to be able to hike into the backcountry! Thankyou for mentioning your beautiful State
Daniel Bianchi you should visit! I’m attempting Gannett peak in the Winds this summer with my father. The tourist areas are for sure beautiful but there’s so many secluded areas to hike here that are just gems!
Agree, Wyoming is beautiful. My wife is from Jackson and she has taken to some awesome places around Wyoming.
Devils Tower, too! Love it.
Amanda, I live in Idaho and have toured your state extensively on motorcycle. Not only is it a beautiful and peaceful state, but the people I met there treated us like neighbors. I love Wyoming. Just a fantastic place.
hold the phone! You Mean Trisha and I, share the same Birthday!!!?????
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Just five years ago we went from a 16' tear drop, to a 19' Airstream and then on to a 23' Airstream. And now we are considering a 27'. Are we crazy? And along the way we have needed to increase the size of our tow vehicles, too. In the boating world they call this three foot itas! I know because I was one of the as well.
NO MORE CAMPERS. WE'VE GOT TO STOP NOW! But we probably won't. Love the Airstreams, though.
Man you guys weren’t lying about the teardrop being a short season 😂
“How many RVers does it take to change a light bulb?”
“Only one… the others are dealing with their grey water issues.”
Funny!
Black water I think you mean.
@@soillife1 "Oh black water, keep on rollin', Mississippi River won't ya keep on shining on me." 😂
Just bought a new 2019 lance 1985 back in January, and I love it ! Can’t wait till hunting season.
ya know ya gotta wave to all the other Lances LOL - took us a while to figure out why they were waving :)
Great tips! This is so important for us while we start our RV journey, especially the 'working out the bugs' mindset. Thanks for sharing :-)
Hmm I’m thinking you got an Airstream with the bunkhouse. 😊
Love the fact that you state to "start small". We had a pop-up with three boys for 15 years. We absolutely had a great time and experiences. As they have left the nest, we decided to look at a new one in 2015. Started looking at 30' plus pull behind, and walked away after two weeks of looking with a 33' fifth wheel. Best decision we have ever made, and checked off the majority on our wish list. Cannot wait to see what you choose next!
My pet peeve, oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, use that Search tool on the left in Facebook.
But you are in the dog house. Making us wait until April 5th for the reveal! Bad bad bad Marc!
After what they said and the looks at 6:13 they are defiantly getting a class c
Class c are great. Love mine
They bought an Airstream. A couple of videos ago. A KYD member was selling one.
@@CCB249 Maybe.....a strong possibility, but they haven't said anything yet. I agree with their look when the Class C was mentioned, but also thought the same as you're thinking. Never know, another dangling our viewers episode.
Happy Birthday Trish, what are you 29 now ? Hopefully you are coming back to Michigan in your travels !
I used to daydream about a fifth-wheel... Now I'm setting up my minivan as a camper just to be able to get out there. I'd rather be traveling than stuck daydreaming about something out of my budget.
I once had an RV technician repairing my RV asked me if I knew the real meaning of RV, He said it really means RUINED VACATION Lol 😂
Is it just me, or on the thumbnail for this video does it look like Tricia is holding a pistol at quick glance lol.
0:55 "How passionate people are about the rig that they have, and their agenda to get you to have the rig that they have." I find this to be very true about a great many things, I attribute it to that fact that everyone of us has some level of repressed buyers remorse, and if one can "score points" (so to speak) about why their decision was better, then the less remorseful they feel. It is AMAZING what you can learn if you don't have buyer's remorse when listening to other RVers on RUclips.
This show makes us all want to go get an RV!!! I love that buying tip: how many are out there for sale?
I’ve been enjoying watching all my favorite RUclipsrs today. I always seem to end the day with KYD. Thanks guys for the distraction today.
Took your advise years ago. "Just buy what will get you on the road now"
Had 3 amazing seasons and lost about $2,000 on my resale.
Not too bad. It was worth it.
Just purchased a new F450 and picking up a new camper next week! You guys are to blame LOL! Look so forward to hitting the road this summer! Thanks for all your videos!
There was a Sparkle in Mark's eye when he mentioned Super C. My bet is on the new Rig being one. You thought I was jealous of the F450 just wait until you have a Kick A#_ Super C
I think they got a used airstream
Ryon James I you are right
Craig Emahiser I saw that sparkle too! 😂
I would agree given they've said the Jeep would be a toad!
yeah i wish! but its there journey ! lol im sure its a S*** stain -i mean air stream :) let the hate begin on me!
SO appreciated this! SOOOO agree with Trish on toilet seat pics in realty pics!!
Great video. I'm looking at a class b or doing a van conversion. I understand the depreciation but I'm thinking safety being a single mom with a little girl and the fact I don't want to pull a trailer. Happy Birthday Tricia 🎂
Happy birthday Tricia. How is this coronia virus affecting you and Marc?
My guess is a Super C, so you can keep the Jeep!
Definitely
I tend to agree
Airstream
Airstream and F250 that they said was better than the F450
Really enjoyed the video talking about your next rv, I have had a couple a 20 ft Terry 35 ft jays and my current 28 total length but bought as a 23 f2f grand design reflection, this is my last one and not sure how many years I have left to rv , however I still tent camp as I take the horses back into the wilderness but just as I started packing in you don't think about the day you turn 70 and your legs aren't what they used to be. So I'm in my last rv and I pray I have a few years to enjoy but depreciation won't even come into my head as I will have the memories that money can't buy and hopefully I will be able to share the remainder of my raving time with a friend that will be there t to be with me and the excitement of seeing this wonderful country. I have lived in Europe and traveled through out but there is nothing like home...God bless you guys and remember you to will reach your last rv before you go camping in the sky....
We do a River Float with a group of about 50 every Labor Day (Sunday). We started taking the kids when our youngest was 3. At age 14, someone asked why it was so important to get to the float. Rather than a different party invite. His response - “Its our friends and family tradition”. Four hours of catching up, laughing, cliff jumping, sharing snacks. Memories.
Happy birthday Trisha. Now that your are 21 and legal Go out and hit that win garden. I believe it was your first trip when you had the flat tire and stranger's jump in and helped.
I started out tent camping in my younger days. In my middle 20's I bought a 16' toy hauler for my motorcycle. At thirty i bought a 40' class A motorcoach and pulled my toy hauler. At forty I bought a 45' Motorcoach and a trailer for my toy's. When I retired at 45 I bought a 45' Cornerstone motorcoach and a 24' stacker trailer and just last year I bought a 45' Renegade Ikon and kept my stacker trailer and I love it. My brother uses the Cornerstone and I travel most of the time with a group of fat old retired police officer. Did I do everything the right way, No! Did it cost me more money than it should have, Yes! I don't care now because I have enjoyed everything about traveling with family and friends as well as meeting great people.
Keep the rubber on the road.
God bless to all and safe travels to all.
Hi guys. Just got back to Canada after spending the winter in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. Received an email that details which states are closing their campsites due to the pandemic. I imagine this situation may change your plans this season! Let us know how you are planning to deal with this rapidly changing scenario! All the best to you!
Very good advice, I want to start, Thank you every Sunday ,,,ps, Happy birthday Tricia !!!
Thank you for all that you do! I love watching your videos, they are so informative and entertaining. I love how you give your honest opinions. This is our second year RVing and we are learning as we go. Each new place has its own challenges, memories and experiences. Can’t wait to see what your new chosen rig would be!!
AZ registration is a deal compared to California registration
Here's the #1 tip for profiting on the purchase of an RV. Buy a nice 2 yr old 27 ft Jayco for $10000 then Drive to New Mexico in February. Get caught in 100 mile an hour winds with hail. Then when you get home, file a claim on your insurance and get back 65% of your purchase price. True Story LOL.
Great video guys as always, very informative. One of the biggest things I've seen is something you hit on a long time ago (weight rating) more so axle weight. I've also noticed (due to my job) is a substantial disregard for tires and brakes, you did an awesome job with that before without getting to technical like I unfortunately have to lol. Best wishes guys
Well great video, HB Trish, Coronavirus situation YIKES BE SAFE
Like you guys Be Safe :)))
Excited to see what you got! Some great tips there. I never thought about checking to see how many of your chosen model are on the resale market--makes a lot of sense. We lucked out buying a lightly used 4 year old 5th wheel as our first rig--excellent shape, good price and local to us! On RV Trader, which is a good resource. We have only taken it out once, and will be going more in the coming months and years. So excited, but still nervous. I think the Teardrop is a sweet little camper-for weekend trips, but I see where it would get old real fast for long term. I LOVE camping, camping, but I love coming home to my bed and long hot showers too! Enjoying this season as much as all the others... you inspire me.
check out out doors rv i have 1 awesome 24 ft off road unit love it
I so enjoy watching your video. They are both entertaining and educational. Keep up the good work. Are you taking any bets on the new RV
No RV comment or question but....this needs to be said....
Happy Birthday Tricia!
Happy Birthday Tricia. This is a must see video for anyone looking to buy their first rig. Camping is an amazing way to enjoy nature and spend time with family. Thanks for another fantastic video.
A suggestion for another video, RVing with the threat of Coronavirus. How do you live with it, does it affect where you will visit, where you eat...
So good... Another educational video full of money-saving suggestions. Before I buy any large-ticket item, no matter how much I am in love with it, I ask myself, "Sweet, but, how hard will it be to sell." My approach when looking for my little toy hauler was similar to your suggestions; after narrowing down my preferences to 3 or 4 brands, I patiently watched rvtrader and craigslist to see how many are for sale, average time on market, and monitored relevant forums for recurring comments from owners about problems. For my purpose at the time, I decided on a brand that might prove to be an exception to the rule of, "Buying stuff is easy... Selling stuff is hard." In my case, it took little more than 12 months to find the right unit for me, and in the last 2 years, I've had 3 people leave a note crammed in the door asking if I have an interest in selling it. Of course, they might have only offered me $100 :-)
Looking forward to the new rig reveal. Happy Birthday, Tricia!!
*WOW!!*
Who knew that *Conan O'Brien & Reese Witherspoon* knew SO MUCH about RV's???
Good talk, Marc & Trish.
(The "memories & joy" was Caleb's response at a Border Crossing, right???) HAHA!
Hi, I being watching your videos for three years, and finally we purchase are first TT a Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. " Happy Birthday Tricia"
Happy birthday Tricia! Tomorrow is my son’s 18th birthday! He’s the youngest of the 3 kids my hubby and I have combined. Hope you all are doing well especially with this pandemic going on....
Exactly right. It's like the Jeep is great, ( and would make a great tow behind) but the Expedition trailer? Maybe it's not for us. Ha! One and done!
I myself own an expedition Jeep, and a expedition trailer BRX completely outfitted. And that works perfect for me.
And happy birthday Trish! How's it feel to be 28 again.?
First off...Happy Birthday Tricia!
So we are currently living full time in our 41 foot bunkhouse. Purchased it used back in 2016. Original owners lived in it for a year but out grew it. It sat for a year in a construction yard before we purchased it. It was never put in the road after it's original purchase. We found out about "debugging" while driving in northern Arizona when I noticed the fender trip falling apart. That I-40 in Arizona was brutal. Other things came up as well along the trip. Needless to say, the initial "wring out trip" is very important. I had to reenforce the drawer bottoms, upgrade the tires and a host of other items to make it safe and sound for travel. We did purchase it for about half of the book retail value which was awesome!
🤗 cannot WAIT to see Silver Ginger!
@ 6:12 you gave it away... your comment and Tricia's smile gave it up - the new rig is a Super C...........
Love the videos!
Only 10 mins in but had you guys ever thought about keeping the F-450 and getting a truck camper?
I think that would fit you guys perfectly and I know Marc is missing the F-450, haha! I currently have a 32ft class C and looking into getting into the truck camper life.
Thanks! Check out our Q&A ruclips.net/video/LTpV6_o7f5c/видео.html
Wanted to know your opinion about rving in the next few weeks with all that is going on now? Have a trip planned beginnibg of April for 4 nights.
In short, we're cautious and flexible. Some plans have changed, most are still a go.
We’re just starting to think about our 2nd rig. Been full time since May 2019. All tips are welcome!
I am thinking a 30 foot Airstream Flying Cloud...
Nice break from national emergency and tragedy. Overwhelming world right now. Time to RV in the middle of nowhere.
Amen to that
Agreed! I wish we could disappear traveling in an RV.
I understand from talking to several RV dealers that because of this Chinese Viruse, that alot of RVs are being sold because of it. Makes me wonder about overcrowding at RV parks and on the roads. It may create an influx of used RVs in the future when all this national BS gets figured out.
We just bought a Gulfstream Vintage Cruiser 17RWD a few months ago and we're finally getting around to going on our first trip in April, coronavirus notwithstanding. I've used the time in between to install Maxxair vent covers, a digital thermostat and several other minor upgrades. Unfortunately, we're already looking at moving up to a bigger trailer. Lol.
Great video! Lots of good information!
Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🎉
P.S. Good Morning from Chiang Rai Thailand.
Happy Birthday Trish! I've only been a youtuber for a year and following you for about that long and you've had 3 rigs during that time. Is that what you mean by keeping your depreciation low? Sell 'em hardly used, but stock them full of goodies, like solar?
We bought the first RV we looked at. Regrets?? Yes and No Looking back wish we would have did more research and didn’t take the sales man word when we asked if we had the right truck for our rig. After our first trip we had some major concerns and went back to the dealer and another sales man basically said well you should upgrade your truck to pull that trailer so another $40k later we’re back on the road. Now I won’t blame the sales man but I will say do homework look around. Read and watch reviews go to rv shows watch videos like KYD I wish I would have but the memories so far are worth any mistake I may have made
Awe, I’d say you guys bought the really nice “used” Airstream you talked about a couple of vlogs ago😉
Happy birthday Tricia. So ya all bought an airstream? Hope you kept the 450 to haul with. The colors would work nicely. I pulled my grandparents around in the summers with their “silver bullet” airstream, we had a blast. Love your stories and education you provide.
If your afraid to buy something and have it drop in value before it leaves the lot.....
Your over paying PERIOD.
Really enjoyed the information. We are selling our 1st RV we bought 2 years ago. It was the right RV for those two years but now, well we have changed so the RV needs to change. This was very useful and helpful! Thanks guys and safe travels!
Happy birthday from Ft Hood, Texas! We’re looking to get our first RV and was actually inspired when we stumbled across your videos. My wife is about to retire from the military and this looks like the perfect next step. Is there a reputable dealer here in Texas you would recommend?
I watched your video today with anticipation. I am curious why, in your description of how to sell an RV you, as a RUclips creator, failed to mention the value of making a sales video. It only costs about $4 more on RV Trader to post a video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, than a video is worth a thousand pictures. The video not only conveys the RV that you're selling but also gives you the opportunity to sell the potential emotions of owning that rig in the environments that have brought you joy with it.
I also laughed when I heard you use the terms "RV" and "great quality" in the same sentence :-) Also in your list of the costs of ownership, you did not list the substantial costs of upgrades. There are also those who might disagree with the start small recommendation (especially in the boating community). Do you actually know anybody who did not find they needed a larger space in a short amount of time. After doing all the research on the videos mentioned below I discovered that if we had just bought the larger 3/4 ton truck in the beginning we could have saved about $75K in trucks and campers down the road :-)
I also think that you would enjoy the last two videos we've posted ... The Story of Travels with Yoly - Part 1 and 2. Eleven campers in 10 years (and 4 trucks) and some I'll bet you didn't know existed :-)
Happy BDay Trish ... great video .... wishing you safe travel.
First thing happy birthday Tricia this was a awesome video we have been camping for 15 yrs now .we have had bumper pulls. fifth wheels .and a class c and back to a fifth wheel now and love every minute of it .my wife is going to retire in April so we are going to explore. go for awhile and come back home. love your video great information
Can't wait to see it new super c💗💗💗💗💗💗
Poopapaloozza!!!! That’s just bad. Every RVers nightmare!!!
I got my 26' Coleman trailer new as an advertised loss leader to get folks into the dealership. I could barely get a salesman to talk to me since I wasn't buying a $200k diesel pusher, but I did it!!! I'm a solo full-time RV'er and I love it....By-the-way, I can usually fix most anything that breaks on my tow-able RV and I've had to over the years owning different trailers. HOWEVER......big diesel pushers are very complicated rigs with computer controlled systems that takes a real service technician to diagnose and repair. My X and I had a 40' pusher that when it went into the shop it was usually $300 - $800 repair bill. Hell, to change the oil on the Caterpillar engine was $300+ ...... the radiator on this thing was gigantic and cost us $1800 to service. -Just saying
Cheers!
I bought my 2019 25RLS Radiance the same way. Internet deal that nobody told me about when I was at the dealership but we happened to look online just before we left and it was a significant discount. We go it...told them to pound salt on the warranties and we got a great deal. Love the rig...no issues since we picked it up June of 2018.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GOD'S BLESSINGS, TRICIA!
How did I choose the right RV for me? My wife took care of all those details!
So nothing about having a mechanic check out an used rv before you buy it?
MY wife and bought a 2013 coachman TT 32 ft 2years ago after seeing one your first vides .We took it to Branson Mo and lake Maconahy Ne pluse lots of short trips. We started with a tent then a smal pop up for 12yr we wanted more room and a bathroom it is not perfict but it covered most of the boxes thank you
Great video.
Since 1970 we have owned 4 RVs.
3 airstreams and one D.P.
All 10 years old when we purchased but stored inside and very well cared for.
Nice video with some great ideas and suggestions. And I’ve always make it a habit to get information from somebody who’s lived it. I also follow a number of the sailing you tubers and understand what your talking about. Thanks for a great vid. Hope you got an Airstream. That’s my dream RV!
AZ RV registration is not expensive when you have a 48 year old rebuilt travel trailer... $80 for five years 😂
Would anybody know how I can sell my van? Recently, I have had some life changes & cannot use the van. I have a 2022 Ram Pro Master fully converted camper van with the works (17k miles): hot water shower, AC, heater, 400 amp hours lithium, 300watts solar, fridge, induction stove stop etc., etc. Dealerships won't buy the van b/c any potential buyer won't be able to finance it through a bank. I am not looking to make a dime off the sale - only trying to re-coup what I paid for the van/conversion. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Trish!! You are such an awesome chick! Truly beautiful inside and out! Hope your birthday is as awesome as you and your family ❤️❤️
Did you see the twinkle in his eye when he talked about the Super C Freightliner? :-)
I finally figured out who your daughter / wife reminds me of. It's Reese Witherspoon. I like to see a man hang out with a woman that's 20 years his junior. And thanks for posting all your videos.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎂😁 My guess is a "new" used Airstream but...you'll be keeping the jeep cause the boys love it and are or will be driving soon....and a new Ford to pull it with...f250 or f350. 😁😁😁😁
Greetings from Waiheke Island, Nz. Love your chanel. We're currently moving backwards thru time, enjoying Travelling Vicariously with you. 🤣 I would like to add to your list if I may .. Attitude! Making a decision to enjoy the RV no matter what. Understanding that you'll always need to move this item to get to that item in the cupboard, or do the RV Dance around each other to move inside the van.
You guys are ALWAYS happy, smiling, laughing, chilled. Don't you ever get cranky with each other? 😁 🤣 But seriously, as with any small space living, I'll bet your happy attitude (no princesses or princes there} & absolute INTENTION to have fun goes a long way to making your RV choices so successful. Happy travels. 😁
I've been RVing since 1990. I've had class As, B's, C's, straight tagalongs, tagalongs with push outs tagalongs one slide 2 slides straight fifth wheels and fifth wheels with 1,. 2, and 3 slides . I've been living in campers full time in New England since 1992 . I personally like a tagalong 32' single slide bunkhouse . The bunkhouse is nice for full time camping because the bunkhouse gives you the option of storing your winter clothing during the summer and your summer clothing during the winter . Also they're easy to tow and you always have a couple comfortable.spots for overnight guests if the need presents itself . Also new construction technology provides easy towing, underbelly heating, to keep the floors warm, and your tanks from freezing . Don't forget to grab a thermostatiçly controlled Blue flame heater and a dehumidifier for the winters in New England .
Robert Prout - Is the single slide bunk house option you suggest a 5th wheel or travel trailer that you favor?? Thanks.
After 12 years with a pop up we got a hybrid 2 years ago come April 31. We decided we would like to go to s fully hard sided travel trailer since it invariably rains at least once every trip and it's usually the night before you leave or the morning you are packing up to leave do you then have to be able to open again for it to dry out when you get home. We also had a couple other reasons. Have been looking at the new GD Transcend floorplan 245RL. May have to delay because we still owe fair amount on the hybrid and can't afford to pay on two since no one wants to pay fair price on it. I also think we paid way too much for it since we had no idea what were doing when we bought it. Live and learn. Hopefully will join you in the Grand Design fraternity still someday.
Great video for newbies for sure. We have owned several trailers and 5th wheels over the years, will never be a perfect unit, always something need to be done to make it perfect. The best time to buy new is the fall after the main season ends, ie after labor day weekend. October for example the new models come in anc just like cars a dealer wants to move the current model year. Also that works for timing on used as well as a person is motivated if they are storing it. Helps greatly with covering depreciation. Safe travels!
Dont mind me...i'm just here to see how many people here are trying to put you guys in your next RV....should start a poll....Airstream....class A....or super C
