Line Up and Wait
As for the M/H. the more you use it the less trouble you will have with the systems. Just like an airplane, they don't like to sit. Use Trojan brand batteries for the lighting. 2 6 volts are far better than any one 12 v "rv" battery . an Isolater and a good HD auto battry for the engine. I also have a small battery for the gen. I added this, so if EVERYTHING else is dead, I can still start the gen & recharge. Snow roof coating for the roof. get special insureance, most standard companies rape you. If it gets cold where you live you need to drain & or winterize the water system. I have a small truck I can tow & it carries my dirt bike. I also have a honda 90 on a rack I can use to run errands. & bicycles. Mine 26', not so big it is unwieldy, I can get into out of the way places. but also big enough inside to streach out(unlike a camper van). some people like to drive a C . I prefer to drive an A. In this size class it is more personal choise & purchace price. I refuse to drive anything without a big block motor, you don't want to be crawling over every hill cause the engine is too small , it will not get you better milage and will kill itself trying. I have the 454 chev, hate it, wish i had a newer V-10 ford. it is supposed to be the best MH motor since the 440 dodge. I had one of those once, it is the BEST. DaveR
