Newby Here ?

[RJRC2015]

I am adventuring into RVing. I haven't committed to a "unit" yet so I have ALOT to learn and being a widow flying SOLO, I hope to find friendly advice and friends along the way. So "Hey Y'all from NC" ?

Welcome to RVForums @RJRC2015 - great to have you join the group. Any units got your eye so far that maybe some of the fine folks here can help you decide?

Well yes..I need to know being solo with my shy fur babies..should I get a Class C or a towable?

First of all, welcome to the forum. I vote a class C...you and your pets will be in the same space all the time, as they shouldn’t ride in the trailer while in motion. Also depends on how comfortable you are backing up a trailer...I’m a city kid, and can’t back up a trailer to save my life...

That's what I'm leaning toward. My fur babies are ALOT of company to me and this will be new for them as well. I TRIED to back a trailer with my truck and did $1000 damage..?

Depending on how many and how big your pets are, you might also consider a class B, since it’s only you. Just as an example,

Class B's seem to be the rage now. I'd get couped up. If I was going small I think the shortest I could stand is a Newmar New Aire

Welcome to RVF, @RJRC2015; happy to have you join us. It would help to know what kind of RVing you plan to do. Short trips? Longer trips? Live in the RV full time? The type of use will influence what would work best.

It will be living in it and traveling all around NC for starters..

If it were just me, I’d do a Class B. It would seem you could maneuver most places easily without worry and much simpler to manage. If I were solo female, I would not prefer a trailer or fifth wheel, but lots of solo females do. I just don’t have that kind of grit. Plus I don’t know how to tow the trailer we do have.

Welcome. We are hoping to visit the Mt Airy area later in the fall for a couple of weeks (Mayberry campground).

My only advise on deciding on your first RV would be to spend hours and hours going through different ones.

I agree with @FL-JOE...except...make the "hours and hours" be "days and days." The point being, see a LOT of different options before beginning to narrow your choices. It is every bit as important to determine what you DON'T like as it is to find what you do. It doesn't cost anything but time to check out all the available options.

After some looking, you will come to know what you like (and, can afford ) and what you don't/can't. From there, you an narrow your choices to a type, brand and model. Good luck in your search.

Welcome to the forum, glad you have joined. As you are new to RVing, you might even consider a short trip in a rented class C, it will help with what to look for. Enjoy the experience of looking and don’t get overwhelmed
