Motor Home shopping

As part of our plans during retirement, we want to travel the U.S. in a motor home. We checked out some of them at a recent RV show.

WOW!

We saw some decent units, and some incredible units. There were some totally amazing vehicles as well, such as the one which had a trailer able to haul two (yes, two) automobiles - one above the other. It would be like driving an 18-wheeler semi-truck, not something I really want to do.

The prices were very tempting, as the dealers really wanted to make sales. The question to ponder is whether we want to buy a brand-new unit, or one at a lesser price which has been 'broken in.'

I've narrowed my choice down to units manufactured by Newmar, Monaco, Fleetwood, Gulfstream and Winnebago (not in any particular order). Since this is not something we are going to do next week, we've got time to consider our options.

I'd welcome any comments on this (or any other topic).
