Welcome! Good luck with the sale of your home. We have been fulltime for 9 1/2 years, no regrets, really like it. You need to read every rv forum you can find,
www.rv.net,
www.escapees.com,
www.Irv2.com. You will see blogs from those that are fulltime, read those. There's a Facebook group, Living the rv dream. the couple that started it, the Huggins, have a blog. Start reading the daily blog of Nick Russell, he writes a bimonthly newsletter about rv'ing. He's been fulltime about 11 years. I'm going to be the first to confirm your statement, yes, you need a 1 ton dually. Have you rv'd before, have you rented rv's? While the new Drv's are very pretty, it's really hard to know what floorplan would be good for you until you spend time in it. Just as a suggestion, buy a late model used Drv, keep it for a year, then you will know what you like about the floorplan. You can always buy a new one later. You found this forum, also look at the THOR forum that has a Drv thread. There's a website for Suites owners,
www.suitesowners.com, but it's been upgrading to a new server and has been down for a couple of months, there's so much information on that site. The best info is from actual owners. Yes, on the 2nd awning, no on the 3rd AC. You can't run all 3 ac's at the same time, so I can't figure out why the dealers are pushing them. If you MUST have a new one, get dealers to bid against each other. Rolling Retreats, Wheels RV and RV's for Less seem to be the best dealers. Wheels RV and Rolling Retreats have excellent service dept's
