Thoughts on older, smaller RV

Motor homes are all about perspective. We have often stayed at camp grounds where we are the only motor home there. In this case we look really big. When ever we are parked near newer motor homes we look really small. Ours is not a wide body. It is also not a basement model. And in advertisements it is considered a "shorty".

The advantages of being <30 ft include being easier to turn around and being able to park in two parking spaces across.

The advantage of not having a basement is there are only 3 steps to go in and out. Great for my bad knees. We are also higher off the ground than basement models so can go more places with dirt or rough roads.

The advantage of being narrower is that we fit better on the narrow roads.

To buy a smaller model that is new or just a few years old you have to pay a premium and in many cases you don't get a dedicated bedroom. So far I only wish one thing were different on ours. I would like about 3 more inches at the foot of the bed for getting around it.

That's it.

And now for a photo my husband took at Flat Rock's Campground. Beautiful isn't it?
