There are tons of used RV for sale and buying a used motor home is not as easy or as tough as you think.  First you have to decide what kind of RVer you intend to be.  Do you want to keep moving, traveling frequently from place to place or do you want to head to the warm weather and park in one place for months at a time?

What kind of  lifestyle will you be living? Do you want to be on vacation 24/7 and spend your days golfing? Or will you have to work full time or part time?  Budget considerations are always a major consideration. You don’t want to spend every penny you have on the RV and not have anything left to enjoy it.  And just like everything else there are always a few surprises when traveling on the road. You will not come across anything you can not deal with but there will be surprises some good and some well… not so good.

Think about what you realistically can afford.  Generally speaking travel trailers are the least expensive,  followed by 5th wheels,  then upgrading to Class B and Class C, gas Class A’s and finally top of the line diesel pushers.  There are pros and cons of each type of  motor home.

Take your time to decide which class  will best serve your needs.  Visit RV and camping shows,  local dealers, search the internet and visit campgrounds and talk to the campers.  RV folks are friendly people and are always happy to talk about their vehicles and their experiences.  Doing the investigation upfront and taking your time to find the right  American motorhome will be of the greatest benefit in the long run.

The Advantages of Solo Travel

• Control: You control all the aspects of your trip: schedule, itinerary, transportation, accommodations, and activities.
• Flexibility: You can make any changes you like at any time. If you hear about a great place for apple pie that’s off your route, you can satisfy your curiosity without driving your travel companions crazy.
• Pace: You don’t have to wait for your friend to finish applying makeup in the morning, if you want to get on the road early. If you want to linger in yet another Christmas village, you won’t have to see long-suffering frowns.
• Discovery: If you are open to new things, solo trips can open up scads of new ideas and places to go. Meeting new people can be scads of fun if you are willing to make contact.
• Independence: Going it alone can be a celebration and declaration of your independence. You can manage your own fate, you can be responsible for making your life and travel interesting and fun.

The Disadvantages of Solo Travel

• Eating alone: Ask anyone who has traveled alone to name the biggest disadvantage of solo travel and you are likely to hear eating alone. We are bey nature social beings and meals are one of the prime times for sociability.
• Cost: Sharing expenses is definitely cheap than paying additional fees for single accommodations.
• Breaking the ice: Most people are friendly enough, but they are likely to wait for you to make the first move. If you see other solo travelers, you can try chatting them up.
• Security: Many women are hesitant to travel alone, but a few common sense precautions will make them feel more comfortable. Some are pretty obvious: don’t go down dark alleys at night alone. If you are driving, don’t wait until it’s dark to find a motel. You don’t have to be a tea-totaler, but you do need to drink in moderation and stay in control.
• Loneliness: You may be lonely at first, but you will find phone and email connections almost anywhere on the globe. Once you get busy, you won’t have time to be lonely.

Traveling alone is something everyone should try at least once in a lifetime. If you plan well, use common sense, and are open to new experiences, you will find that solo trekking can be exciting and fun.

If you are hesitant to go on a trip because you will be traveling alone, now is the time to get over it.
