My name is Trish and I go by Stormywch đ. I guess I am a wanna-gonnabe. I recently started working 2 jobs so I can begin saving for my forever home. As a child, we moved every 2-3 years because my dad was in the army. Well, guess what, I am 66 and still want to move around and see everything, and I still have it in my blood. So that is what I am planning on, just need to work as much as possible and save up. Â Now my problem is, I canât figure which one is for me. I love how spacious the 5th wheels are, but do not have a truck. I tend to lean towards the class c, only due to the cost of the class A. What do you think?

Hi Trish,
Welcome!
Fulltime RVing isn't too difficult- if I can do it anyone can. Â It can be as expensive or inexpensive as your budget allows.
This is pretty much a pull behind forum but almost all solos I've met are in motorhomes.  This past winter I met my first two fulltime solos in NOT in  motorhomes.  One had an 18' bumper pull behind a pickup with a cap and the other a smallish fiberglass egg and a full size van.  My "C" is 28 feet and really is a little large for one but I couldn't find any nice shorter ones when I was shopping.
If you look at "A's" make sure you price tires and windshields too. Â Class C's are simpler to work on. Â For example, a local Walmart uses a pit rather a lift for oil changes. Â My last two have been there.
There are a lot of "tricks" you pick up on the road to make your life easier and simpler and more satisfying. Â My best advice is to start sooner rather than later.
Good Luck!

Will you want a toad? If so make sure the A or C can pull it.
