Full Time RV Living–Our Rig is FOR SALE

Stuck at Daddy's in Spurger
You read it right. . .today we are officially putting our truck and fifth wheel up FOR SALE!

If you know anyone who is looking for a great deal. . .all the pics and information on the Truck and Fifth Wheel
can be found here:  EBay Motors


WHY?  you ask. . .
showimagerv

well. . .here’s the reason. . .and of course you know they
never want to give you diddly on a trade in. . .
so we’re gonna try our hand at selling our rig ourselves. . .uggghhhh!


To answer the age old RV question. . .why a motor home instead of the fifth wheel

From the beginning, we always said we wanted to be in a motor home by the time we were sixty. . .not sure why we decided on that time frame. . .I guess we thought we would be old by then. . .ya know good and well when your're 47 that sixty looks really, really old. . .now that we are almost there it's looking better and better. . .ha. . .but I digress!

Anyway. . .since we can't afford the rig we want. . .this is going to be a transition rig for the next few years. . .which should tell the tale for us. . .which is better. . .fifth wheel?. . .or motor home? Ha Ha. . .time will tell!

Wish us luck. . .oh, and a few prayers would not go amiss. . .

Til next time,
Janice

  1. WOW! You're the third set of folks I know with a 5er who are swapping for a Class A in the last month. Tried the link to look at your rig but it said I didn't have access?? Again I say WOW!

  3. Definitely something wrong with the link. How come you want to trade the 5th for a motorhome?

  5. Wish you the best with the sale. We just moved in to our 5ver from a TT. Friends have a MH and we often compare and discuss the advantages/disadvantages. Always an exciting time when getting a new home.

    1. It is a highly opinionated subject for sure. . .I'm forever amazed when someone tells a full grown adult whether they should or should not live in a motorhome, fifth wheel, travel trailer. . .whatever. . .LOL!

  7. Yes we are going from a 5th wheel to a motor home too. Not as much to do when you get to the campsite. Good luck on selling your 5th wheel. We traded our 5th wheel and truck in on the new motor home.
