Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Rita & I love the 5er, BUT! We think we would be better off with two (yes TWO) small Class A or Class C RVs so we could haul a toad behind one and a GC behind the other. Therefore, we need some suggestion for make, etc. One would only need a big bed for Rita & OldeKoot; the other would have to sleep my nephew & myself, so it would need two good beds. At least one slide for the Living Room/Dining Room area is required. Fire away, and we will look at the floor plans and see if any really yank our chains. Thanks for any suggestions!Maybe we will end up with both of them in Lorna's site - it can hold a T@B convention! :rofl3: :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
we3peas 12 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 This is where you need to go to get ideas. It's the largest RV in the country. Don't take your wallet though, I 've known lots of people who have lost their heads in the passion of the moment and bought before they've really considered everything.http://www.frvta.org/rv-shows/2012-florida-rv-supershow/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Discamper 394 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 ED you only need 1 nice diesel pusher if you get one of these you can take your cart & car at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
we3peas 12 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Anything near Thonotassa should work if they are not already booked up.Here's a few:http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Florida/Thonotosassa.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Anyone know of a nice campground near this? We're checking of of the Fort on Jan. 10th ...Ed- did you see the part on the website where you can camp right there at the Fairground? It's like camping in a parking lot, but they do have hook-ups, and you would be right there to enjoy all of the festivities.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 TCD Cherly & I did that in 05 had a great timeGood to know. I should have added, that I have seen the camping area, and it looks like it would be a blast to stay there. But definitely more like tailgating than camping.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sensei 18 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 You might also look into the Lazydays campground. It's just east of the fairgrounds. They may already be booked during the show, but you might give them a call.While you're there, you can look at their inventory too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 We looked at the one Class A, but none of them we looked at would hold four adults comfortably over the long term. With two small Class C/A, we would be able to take the two bed one if it was just OldeKoot and I or even Rita, OldeKoot and I ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why not a larger toyhauler with 4 queen beds and a dually? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why not a larger toyhauler with 4 queen beds and a dually?That would work, but ...it would be very unecomomic for just OldeKoot and I to haul a beast like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't follow....how's that more expensive than paying for 2 MH's and expenses? MPG between a diesel dually and a MH will be very close.....and you just have one tank to fill. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 If it was just OldeKoot and I, we'd only be using one MH ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Still don't follow (may be the alcohol).....how's that cheaper than a TH and pickup....the mpg will be nearly identical to 1 MH. Plus you have use of the pickup for other things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 One big thing, is it would be easier to get it into smaller sites. In general, it would be a lot easier for just two people (especially since I would have to do all the setting up by myself). This IS just dreaming right now. What we actually end up with may be far from our current dreams ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 We've had 6 adults and 2 kids in my parents 43' HR Endeavor. A little tight but we made it a week.. may be a week and a half next year at Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 We've had 6 adults and 2 kids in my parents 43' HR Endeavor. A little tight but we made it a week.. may be a week and a half next year at Disney.We CAN fit in something 'small' ... but we want comfortable. Getting woke up because someone is almost walking over you to go to the bathroom; or you get kicked out of your "bed" because smeone wants to sit at the dining room table to eat; or ... doesn't qualify as comfortable. I know it's not logical on the surface (or economical in the long run), but having two RVs seems to be the best fit. They wouldn't have to be big - or even very fancy - just one with one nice bed for Rita & OldeKoot and one with two nice beds for Chris & I (that could also be used by just OldeKoot & I) ... and a slide for the dining room/living room.

Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 "Small" has nothing to do with it.. ;D Just most all of the Class A's seem to be set up for retired couples (like my parents). It is hard to find one set up for a family. But I guess they cater to the people with the money. :faceplant2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 The reason he's dreaming is because we all just spent 2 weeks camping together! That's a long time for 4 adults that are not married to spend together. Mama doesn't mind sleeping with me 'cause she's deaf and can't hear me snore! :rofl2: Everyone else was probably ready to commit hari kari! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Chris (my nephew) is even worse - the whole RV shakes when he snores. He even makes the walls of a house shake when he snores :rofl2: This is just dreaming right now, but two nice Class C's would be the perfect fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gots2pitt.. Jeff 64 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 You can probably find a couple of nice used Class C's or Class A's. I know my parents 2003 Class A sold for $60k which seems like a lot.. except it was 3 times that new. Hence the reason my brother and I tease my parents about spending our inheritance. But they do let us camp with them at Disney so I guess the upgrade was worth it. :wiz: I guess I can give up the inheritance for free camping at disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Here's the ticket, get a nice class C and find a decent light-weight travel trailer to pull behind. Two RV's, two kitchen's, Two baths, One engine to upkeep, 4 people happy, cost effective! PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
