A first time rv buyer should buy used. Right? But. There's always a but. Every buyer is different. About me: Divorced. Empty nest. My work can go on the road. I've wanted to do this for years. My ex - hah! He had no sense of adventure. Now I'm free to live as I choose. I've read until my brain...

Hi! My husband Dave and I just made the deal today to purchase a 2023 Alante 29S. We are trading in our 2017 Thor Vegas 24.1 that we have put 85,000 miles on. We have been thinking we would like a little more space but weren't sure we were ready to make the change, but we did it! Despite a few...
