I'm thinking of buying a motorhome. I saw a really nice 40 ft Beaver Patriot 300 hp cummins engine, 1995 one for $35k. It only has 38,000 miles on it, looks to be in topnotch shape. It does not have a slideout, but has everything else including a washer dryer which I really like.
I haven't talked to them yet, but was wondering if you have to have a CDL license for it, hubby said if it has airbrakes you do in Texas. Also curious if anyone in Texas has an idea of ins costs. These are things I need to lookinto. I never envisioned this one but they have dropped the price a bunch and as hubby says it sounds to be really nice.
Also I've driven my Lincoln truck pulling a 20 ft trailer but never anything like that, how hard are they to get around. I'm itching to travel as it looks like hubby is going to work at least 3 more years or if up to him maybe 7. Well I'm 63 and in 7 more years don't think I will want to go much, he may. I like to fish and so does DD. She is our sweety, she is mentally challenged but my great companion, she loves to travel and see new places so I really think we would use it.
Also how about parks? I'm reading that many won't let one in older then 10 years, is that an issue?
