After years of dissatisfaction with staying in hotels during vacations, I decided that I wanted an RV. Unfortunately, getting a nice RV will cost as much as a small house in many areas in the country. I wasn’t interested in buying something really old that would need a lot of work, let alone mold remediation. Since RVs often sit empty without any air flow, old ones are notoriously musty smelling when you open the door. Since I already have respiratory allergies, I knew that I would need something newer, if not outright brand new altogether. Around this time I unexpectedly inherited a cabin from an elderly family member. As much as I wanted to keep the cabin, it was on the opposite end of the country and I don’t have the money to get on planes several times every year. However, selling the cabin seemed like a great way to at least partially finance an RV. And since my credit has improved in recent years, I knew that I could get the remainder of the RV financed. Thankfully my plans actually worked out and I located an RV dealership in my city and negotiated a deal on a brand new model. Even though it’s a lot of money, I couldn’t be happier with my new RV. I have already taken it across the country twice and I love never needing to stay in a hotel room again. It has cold air conditioning as well, and you only ever need the a/c in the engine if you’re sitting in the driver’s seat. The rest of the cooling is handled by two roof-mounted, package-style air conditioners that are specially manufactured for these RVs.
