Last night I dreamed of traveling in a large class A. Very nice with lots of room, there were 3 of us sitting at the table and moving around the rv and we had plenty of room. Did I mention the rv was moving at the time. Yes, a very strange dream, the rv was driving it's self down a gravel road around curves and through the mountains all while we were in the back talking and visiting. Wouldn't this be great if you could put a destination in the gps and just sit back and enjoy the trip. I'm sure this stems from my fear of buying an rv then not being able to drive it.
Sometimes I think I will need a travel trailer so I will have a vehicle to drive while workcamping. Then I think a small class c would be so much easier to drive. I wish there was a way to drive different types of rv's before making the decision. How much does having a class c and not pulling a car limit you?
Some things I do know
RV needs and wants:
comfortable bed with lots of support *
comfortable chair for reading and tv *
tub & shower combo
outdoor shower
lots of windows *
led lighting
solar panels
tall sink faucets
2 door refrigerator
thermo pane windows
* is for must have. Bed and sitting in comfort becomes an issue when you have back problems. I don't have a lot of back problems but one bad night will cause me pain for days.
Back to work. Have a great day!

I went to the Rv show yesterday. Spent a lot of time looking at travel trailers. I was very impressed with the Lance. Of course the price was outrageous. I wouldn't be able to buy a new Lance and a truck so I'll be looking for something used.
The thing I really liked about the Lance was the true 4 season pkgs. I think I could live in this for a month in Kentucky during the winter. Certainly not all winter but when I'm in town visiting my children.
However, looking at the amenities and storage for the smallest trailers leaves a lot to desire. Regular cab pickup is about 19' and then the smaller trailers are about 19' so now your about 38' or 40' in length. Increase your trailer size to 22' or 24' to add the extras you want and your over 40' in length. This does not sound easy to drive, much less park.
We also toured some Bs and Cs while at the show. When it comes to driving these seem much easier to handle. Of course you lose a lot of storage area. If I was going to keep my house I would definitely go for a B.
So much to think about. Will I ever make a decision?
Have a great day!

Sunday my daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren and niece came for dinner. I love having them over. I can't imagine not spending time with my family. We don't get together weekly or even monthly but I love it when they can all be here. This is what worries me about selling the house and traveling. It wouldn't worry me if I had the money to keep the house and travel. To go months without a visit is not a big deal but years would not be possible. I have to work this out in my mind somehow.
My brothers and sisters are scattered all over the country and we seldom see each other. My parents divorced and lived 1000 miles apart. Some of us grew up in Ky and some in Fl. We now live in KY, FL, TX, MO and KS. Sometimes we go for years without visits. I have nieces and nephews I've never met. Thank goodness for facebook which has allowed me to see pictures of their birthdays and accomplishments.
