I am currently planning to start full-timing in the next few years. I am 60-something, single and mostly retired. I live with my Pa, who is 90, and help him take care of his household. I'll be staying put as long as he is with me. (My brother and his son also live with us.)
My main hobby is touring on my Can-Am Spyder. My longest tour was to Alaska this summer and it's killing me that I am limited to driving my cager until Spring. When I go full-time I plan to follow the warm weather so I can extend my riding season.
I have considered, in turn, bumper-pull toy haulers, 5th wheel toy haulers, toy-hauler motorhomes, and, now, conventional motorhomes pulling a trailer to carry my Spyder. I'll be asking lots of questions about selecting an RV and about the experience of maintenance, etc. Pa has extensive experience with motorhomes, at one time owning three of them. I mostly remember that he spent a lot of time tinkering with them. However, I'd have to hire any repairs, etc., and don't want to have to constantly be fixing something. So I'll want advice on which brands/models best lend themselves to holding up to full-time use for 10-20 years.
I am looking forward to getting to know y'all better!
