Re: advise for to-be newbie.... please! by Dave
Post New Message Go for it, but look before you leap. I full time in a 1983 Vogue 37' Diesel. I looked at new coaches, but couldn't afford them. Now I have everything the new coaches offer, but saved a lot of money. Are there repairs to do? You bet there are. But the longer I do this, the smarter I get and the easier it becomes.
I live in Southern California. So when the fires where really getting bad, I simply moved. If I don't like my neighbor, I move. It is very liberating, but it is also a very demanding lifestyle. When repairs need to be performed, often you can't just put it off. There are also a lot of "repair" shops out there that tend to do more damage then good.
Cell phones are a must and I would get one with a nationwide plan so you don't rack up long distance as you move. Also, no matter what type of motorhome you get, make sure you have the build sheet and as much information as you can get on how everything is put together. That way when a mouse chews through a wire some where and suddenly your hot water heater doesn't work, you'll know where to start looking.

Best of luck
