We will be retiring in Jan and we have a not yet very well thought out plan to buy an RV and travel the country for about a year and then sell it.
Can anyone point be me in the right direction for things to look for and questions to ask? We know very little about RVs. I believe we would want a Class A. It will be just the 2 of us. We are willing to spend up to $100K. Several questions:
1) What would you suggest would be the correct size for 2 people to live in full time for a year?
2) Any certain brands we should lean towards or away from?
3) Im thinking something in the 4-5 year old range would be a good compromise between it still being pretty nice but not losing too much money to depreciation? Assuming we got a fair deal when we bought, if we paid $100K for a 4-5 year old RV, how much could we expect to sell it for a year later?
4) Are used RVs really hard to sell at a fair price? If its going to take a year to sell, this plan might be flawed from the get go.
