I've been involved with RV's since 1972 when I purchased a camper for my pickup truck I graduated to 2 different Class C motorhomes and 2 different Class A motorhomes. My current motorhome is a 40' diesel pusher and, it's absolutely great. I bought it new in 2003 as a retirement present to myself and haven't regretted it yet. It has 2 slides which make the insides much larger when you're stopped and like everything else I own, I've modified it to meed my needs. I installed a tracking satellite dish (tracks as you drive) flat screet TV's, Directv DVR, Banks kit which upped the HP from 350 to 435 and the torque from 1050 to 1200 ft. lb's. Pluse many ther things. Last summer we took a 2 month trip and covered alost 7,000 miles and during the winter months, we're at Glamis (sand dunes) for at least 12 to 15 days per month. see:

A lot depends on what you want to do, we tow a GMC Envoy when we travel without the dunebuggy trailer, do you want to tow a car, tow a trailer, drive a small Class C and use that as your transportation or what???
When you've decided what you want to do then the education can really begin.
