Hello Everyone -
I guess I'm the first RV Wannabe here. I’ve long considered having an RV, but I feel I’m close to having to make a decision soon, if anything, for my mental health. I’ve been out of meaningful work for a couple of years now (prospects are still looking grim), but thanks to careful money management and no debt, I remain at the point where if I make the right decisions, I can still have an adventure. Two family members, when faced with intractable personal situations, did the RV “escape”, mostly full timing in Class C’s for a couple of years, and their trips seemed to have worked their magic. Perhaps “shaking things up” will work for me as well. It certainly beats staring at the same 4 walls and meager job prospects day after day. Perhaps being mobile and “out there” might present me with some new opportunities.
I never seemed to be able to find what I liked, but had recently become enamored with the View/Navion twins, and thus the call of the road. However, the more I read and researched, I’ve become convinced that a B+ would be the best choice, and that a PC would be just the ticket. In comparison to the Sprinter-based units, the Ford chassis appears to be the best choice in terms of GVWR & GCVWR, as well as for finding abundant and reasonably priced chassis service wherever I go.
After comparing all the choices and reading all the numerous posts out there on various sites, the PC seems to be the best value for the money. Except for one seemingly “crazy” customer out there, I’ve found nothing but satisfaction from PC owners, and the exceptional consideration and support provided by Kermit for his owners. Being in the suburbs of Chicago, the Elkhart factory seems to be of a reasonable distance in terms of getting proper modifications or repairs, if needed.
I hope that you will help me out with the questions I have regarding a particular unit available to me, and any others I might have going forward.
