Hi,
I have been lurking on this forum for a while, learning as much as I can and the insights have been great!
My goal is to retire by the end of the year, buy an RV and tow vehicle early next year, and tour North America with my wife. We are considering either a 297RSTS or 320MKS and a F350 or Ram 3500 for a tow vehicle. We have never RV'd but we live in an apartment so we're optimistic the downsizing won't be too difficult. We plan to put our belongings in storage while we RV (for approx. 5 years).
We live near Toronto, ON and plan to tour Canada and the northern US in the summer, then migrate to the southern US in the colder months. Our plan is to drive to specific destinations and park the RV for 2-4 weeks and explore everything in that area before moving on.
I am not very mechanically inclined so I have concerns about having to do repairs or maintenance. I know there are lots of YouTube videos available but I am not the most patient person in the world when it comes to conducting repairs. My second concern is trip planning. From what I have read, many sites book up early and require reservations many months in advance so I guess it is important to be flexible with dates and destinations.
Any advice, feedback, or tips are welcome.
Looking forward to being an active member here.
Cheers!
