Janet,
It's never too soon! :lol: If it was $1,500, beware,... if it's $15,000 might be ok! Good luck. Never hurts to look as it gives you an idea of what you will want when you are ready to buy. Have fun !

It's always fun to look at different layouts to get an idea of what you really want and would work for you. So, go ahead....stop and have a look.

Janet there is nothing wrong with dreaming!!!

This is the floorplan that Kelly and I found and fell in love with. We first saw it ? maybe 3yrs ago. This one is last years model. But oh the room and the amount of storage is fantastic. I keep hoping that when we can finally get one that we can find one of these!!! Or at least one that would work out as well as this one.

Keep dreaming and go looking every chance you get!!! Ya just never know when you will find just that perfect one for you.

It IS about looking and dreaming. I was too impulsive when I began this RVing journey and ended
up with, um, bad choice$. So look look look. Dream. In my case, the third was the charm.

As you dream and look, and you want to spend a LOT of time in your rig, consider going larger.
A lot of people (read: me) buy small and in short order decide they want / need something bigger.
So look at both. However, the ready availability of slides makes the smaller rigs MUCH more
liveable to me (with room in the bedrooms for adequate wardrobe space).

Just sayin' ....

Three years ago when I was looking, my friend said I wanted a 50' MH inside and a 10' outside. Just because I was afraid of driving a big Class A down the road. Now I've got the hang of it going forward in a 34' Class A, it's just the backing up that I have to think about. LOL
Guess there's never the PERFECT MH huh???

Backing up is not problem - REPEAT AFTER ME - Pull through.

Janet, look, look, look! It's fun and it keeps the dream alive. I did it for 1 1/2 yrs before I found mine last month. I was so set on a Class B Pleasure Way that I didn't spend allot of time looking at anything else but finally decided to expand on what I thought I wanted. Turned out I found the 'perfect for me' rig in a bit bigger class b+. Granted, I'm bummed because I have a steering issue that seems cannot be fixed, but I'm hoping I'll talk to the right person and that will be taken care of. In the mean time I'm still in love with my Little Missy. She's perfect for me. :D

Me too Janet, I started out with my heart absolutely set on a Casita trailer, then saw a "B" and changed direction completely! Very glad I did, for my kind of travel the B was my best choice. That said I loved shopping, the endless variety is amazing!!!

You've got to dream !!! I think that's what keeps us sane and moving forward in life.
Someday you'll be ready to buy and by looking and dreaming now, you'll know exactly what you want !!!
Let us know what happens when you go back in 2 weeks !

The dreaming never stops. I started out with an old Class A, then a TT that I totalled, then this TT I am in now. BUT, I wasn't feeling well last week and began to think of when I can no longer do this lifestyle. I never want to live in a fixed house again and will probably get a lot where I can park, maybe for 6 months at a time. So I am on a 4 year plan, going to sock away as much money as I can and really think about what I want...dream about what I want. :D

Thank you, darlings... you all give wonderful advice and I soak up every bit of it. I love to look at them,, and always have. I spose I had a premonition at least 35 yrs ago that I wanted this lifestyle. I wish there was a sportshow or RV show near me so I could take a look at what is out there and what's new. Those were always fun!

the rigI do think I want a bathtub , even if all I can get in it is my feet! ha! And I want a window over my kitchen sink. I'm thinking I want a rear kitchen, too,, but not sure about that either. Depends on the size of the rig.

WOW! All these predisposed ideas blow my mind. For sure I will take ya'll advice and look at every one I possibly can. For all I know,, it could be YEARS before I can get on the road! Oh GOD,, I hope it won't be that long!

This little mini winnie was very small....guessing only about 20' or less. So cute! I agree w/ whomever said it, i forget just now,, but to start small and work my way up to a bigger rig, however I DO want to get one I can drive and not pull... as I've done that too, and I think it's just too much for me. Also I want a bathroom IN my rig. I get up too many times in the night to go PP and so,,, that's a MUST. The floor plan remains a mystery to me,, I do think I want a bathtub , even if all I can get in it is my feet! ha! And I want a window over my kitchen sink. I'm thinking I want a rear kitchen, too,, but not sure about that either. Depends on the size of the rig.

Thanks for putting up with me and my daydreaming!

love ya'll....
Janet

Take notes as you look, Janet, because I guarantee after you've looked at a few, you'll forget which models had which layout & features.
