Tom, I've been thinking about that, and you are correct. I've been exploring the rental of RVs too, and will probably do something like that first and see how it goes, and if we like it.
TX, I do have a 2500 Diesel, so I have the truck to pull it with. Since this is only for the wife and I, plus the pooches, we are looking at something in the 27-29 ft range.
We are also thinking of taking this trailer to our hunting lease and park it there so we can have a weekend out of the house, vs. traveling every back and forth to the hunting lease.
Obviously, money is another issue, and since I'm planning on retiring next year, I need to see the cash flow before committing to something like this or not.
