Made that choice 12 years ago. I have no regrets. I was also very lucky. I found a good RV park that had grass yards surrounded by fences with plenty of trees for shade.

The RV itself has been incredibly sturdy and I've only had a few issues. I did have to spend 1 day upgrading the electrical from 30 amp to 50 amp so I could run the A/C and the Water Heater at the same time. I had to replace the city water inlet check valve after 8 years. The spring valve on my toilet broke after 5 years but it was less labor to just install a new one. The mattress got replaced immediately.

Otherwise, if you can get a good park to live in and don't have large pets or children, I can only highly recommend it.

Was this an RV or a mobile home (single wide, double wide)? Different products (for those who aren’t aware).

An RV, specifically a Travel Trailer, 33' in length and made by Jayco.

A 12 year old used Jayco might be vastly better quality than what Jayco is pumping out these days.
