The Canadian motorhomes are cleaner (by a LOT), cheaper (by a LOT) and have lower gas mileage (by the hundreds of thousands) than older US motorhomes. I just bought a 1979 Bendix Citation (GMC) with 22,000 miles on it. It's pristine. $3,000 USD. Stop dreaming and go snag a deal off of Canadian craigslist.Anita Peronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166386500898009790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-70705395896331384062016-10-05T11:32:34.796-04:002016-10-05T11:32:34.796-04:00Traveling in a motorhome is a wonderful experience...Traveling in a motorhome is a wonderful experience, if you have what it takes and the right partner. We met a lot of nice people, great food (looking at you Memphis and Texas BBQ, taquitos, and gulf shrimp), and stayed in some amazing, sketchy, and even scary places (it's called the Desert for a reason). Like boats, there is always something that needs attending to, often expensive if you're not handy, and you must be adaptable to the small-house philo. And you can do and see places off the beaten track, that is my interest. Not hardly wealthy, I took my old, renewed by my hand, Minnie Winnie across country twice, weeks at a time, between job opportunities, with my wife and child, spending time visiting the historical science and natural meccas; Ozarks, Tennessee and Kentucky east to west, Florida east and west coast, Houston (NASA), Los Alamos (Nat Lab), Alamagordo (bomb), Socorro(VLA), Yuma(hot), Nat Parks, Taos, Utah, Nevada, like that. And I am getting ready to do it again, with an updated machine, as I am just now an empty nester. This time I want to take the northern route, see more of the paleo sites, maybe finding a new hobby volunteering to dig dinosaurs in the summer while skiing in the winter! Dunno. BTW, did I say it was fun! Adventure.

The great thing about used RVs, even the old ones, is they have low mileage on them. Think about it...a cross country trip from coast to coast is approximately 3,000 miles. Most owners probably don't take them that far annually.

I've never even seen the inside of one of these things. Our family vacations were done in a car, a Dodge of some sort, and four kids packed in there resulted in a breeding ground for psychopathy.<br />That's a word, I looked it up.<br />Yes, unless you want your summer vacation to turn into something out of The Shining or Lord of the Flies, better invest in one of these bad boys. <br />Humans need space. I have two older sisters. Nuff said.<br />M.P.
