rv.net forums are a great place to learn more about rving. We have a 1989 27 foot class c and love it. We do not tow, we both drive it, I have driven it more than dh. We can both set up and take down. We keep it stocked from March through October with linens, clothes, and nonperishable food. We just have to stop at Safeway for the rest of the groceries. We also have a dedicated RV plug on the side of our house, so we can run the fridge and keep condiments in it. Most our camping is done in BC Provincial Parks, where there are no hook-ups. Because of this we travel with a full water tank.
