Dogry RV saýlamak kyn bolup biler. Şonuň üçin köp wariant bar! RV satyn alýan adamlara berýän ilkinji maslahatymyz şol kämil RV ýok for you. You will have to make some sacrifices…of course unless you plan to spend a million dollars for custom options. But if that’s the case, you probably aren’t reading this post anyway.

Dogrymy aýtsam, Soraýan doly wagtlaýyn RV-leriň azyndan 2 ýa-da 3 dürli RV bolmagy ähtimal. Before you’ve lived in an RV, it’s hard to truly know what you want and need. So don’t be surprised if you change your mind, too.

Hemmesini okap bilersiňiz dogry RV saýlamak üçin maslahatlar (ýazan ýazgymyz ýaly, DON’T Buy an RV Until You’ve Read These 5 Tips!), do tons of research, and drive yourself crazy. But, ultimately, until you’ve hit the open road and discovered your travel style, your parking preference, etc….it’s hard to know which RV is the best for your lifestyle.

Biziň üçin hiç haçan RV eýeçiligimiz ýokdy we hatda birinde düşelge gurýardyk. Boşluk üçin awtomatiki usulda bäşinji tigir saýladyk. We loved it, too! In fact, we wrote this post – Doly wagtlaýyn RVing üçin bäşinji tigir saýlamagyň 10 sebäbi. Şol sebäpler, bäşinji tekerde näme üçin karar berendigimizdi we häzirem Bäşinji tigir saýlamakda uly peýdalar.

Şeýle-de bolsa, 8 aýdan soň täze RV satyn almagyň wagty gelende, Başga bäşinji tigiriň ýerine “c” klasly motora geçmegi saýlanymyzda özümizi doly geň galdyrdyk. We purchased our fifth wheel knowing it was a “starter unit” to simply allow us to try out RV life and determine if it was for us or not. It wasn’t designed for full-time living…it was much more of a weekend warrior RV. So we originally went into the purchasing process with the plans to buy another fifth wheel.

Ynha, munuň ýerine “c” kysymly awtoulag saýlamagymyzyň sebäpleri.

We didn’t need as much “stuff” as we thought we did

Zerur zatlarymyzy daşlaşdyranymyzda bäşinji tigir, hiç haçan ulanmadyk köp zadymyzy çykardyk and actually forgot we had in there. Again, we didn’t know anything about the lifestyle and how it would be. Now, we know what we like to do in the places we visit, we know we don’t need as many clothes as we thought, and we ditched the duplicates of things.

It’s a huge adjustment to downsize from a house to RV. Şeýlelik bilen, köp adam hakykatdanam näçeräk mätäçdigine düşünýänçä has uly RV saýlar. It’s extremely common for full-time RVers to downsize their RV during or after their first year on the road. Bir tarapdan, basgançaklary geçmek durmuşyňyzy ýönekeýleşdirmegiň bir bölegidir.

Dolandyryş> ýaşaýyş meýdany

Bäşinji tigirimizden c synpymyza düşenimizde 50 inedördül metr töweregi bir zat ýitirdik. Biz ony küýseýärismi? Elbetde! Emma gazanan peýdalarymyz ýeriň ýitmeginden has ýokarydyr.

Iň gowy görýän peýdamyz, “c” synpymyzyň näderejede hereketli bolmagydyr. Maşyn sürmek köne ýük awtoulagymyzy sürmäge gaty meňzeýär. Since the length is right under 26 feet, we can “fit” into most parking spots. We’ve even managed to find street parking in the city and have “moochdocked” outside of family members’ houses with no problem at all.

In contrast, the last time we returned home, we had no choice but to put our fifth wheel in storage while visiting family because there was not enough space for it in anyone’s driveway or neighborhood. It was really inconvenient to move out of our home for a few weeks and not have full access to some of our belongings.

We also used to be so jealous of the RVers who could pull off the side of the road to snap a photo of a scenic view. We’ve had to settle for mental pictures because pulling over with a 30ft trailer isn’t exactly safe, if there is even space for it. Indi, päsgelçilikden arassalanjakdygymyzy anyklamak üçin aýnany yzygiderli barlamazdan, islendik ýere diýen ýaly aňsatlyk bilen çekiljekdigimizi duýýarys we Lindseý islendik wagt ulag sürmekde 100% rahat duýýar. 

Syýahat günleri has aňsat

Let me paint a picture of what our travel days looked like when towing the fifth wheel. First, we would have to strap down any loose furniture, along with the typical stowing of items. Then, we’d have the usual disconnecting of the sewer, water and electric. The final step would be backing up the truck just right, lowering the trailer, and hitching it up, which would typically take 10 minutes alone (on a good day). We’d often be stressed that we would forget a step, because there were just so many.

I forgot to mention that we’d have to set up a comfortable space for the dogs, pack up a bag of snacks, water bottles, a trash bag, our computers (if we wanted to struggle to work at all), cameras (you always have to be prepared for beautiful scenery), etc. We would be crammed in and have to stop every 2-3 hours to stretch and use the bathroom. If we wanted to make lunch in the fifth wheel, we’d end up taking 30-45 minutes every time we stopped, which made travel days even longer.

Indi, bu ýazgyny ýazýarkam, Neşwil şäherine gidýändigimizi aýdyp, syýahat günlerindäki tapawudy düşündirip başlalyň. Dan sürüp barýarka, dinetde rahat we howpsuz otyryn. When it’s lunch time, I’ll get up and durman, sendwiç ýasa we zerur bolsa hajathanany ulanyň…no problem! The dogs can move around a bit more too.

Aý, bir ýere gitmezden ozal diňe bize gerek Gaplamak üçin 10-15 minutaýryň we aýryň. Indi gysylmak we aşak egilmek ýok. Biz zatlary taşlaýarys, slaýdy çekýäris, çeňňeklerimizi aýyrýarys, içeri girýäris! Çalt syýahat edýäris we adatça täze ýerlerde bir gezek diňe 1 hepde galýarys, şonuň üçin bu biziň üçin ullakan!

Has gowy iş ýerleri

Bäşinji tigirleriň has täze modelleriniň ajaýyp iş ýerleri bar bolsa-da, bizde beýle däldi. Onlyeke-täk iş ýerimiz aşhana naharhanasynda ýerleşýärdi. Bu kiçijik agaç oturgyçlardan ybaratdy, arka ýassyklary we stoldan amatly aralykda ýerleşmek üçin ýeterlik ýer ýokdy. Hil ýassygy bolan stend dinetasy, bütin gün oturmak üçin has amatlydyr.

Dinet ikimiz üçinem gaty köp bolsa, ýaşaýyş meýdanyna aýlanmak üçin aýlanýan ýolagçy oturgyjynda işlemegi makul bildim. Alsoazýan wagtym gaty rahat we telewizora tomaşa edýän ýaly duýsam, goşmaça düşegiň öňünde goýup boljak aýryp bolýan stol bar. Şonuň üçin bizde bar Iş ýerleriniň 3 görnüşi! 

I mentioned that I am working while we drive, which is also a big deal for us. And the computer is not sitting on my lap in the passenger seat. I am actually at a “desk”, where I can focus without getting car sick or getting a neck cramp!

We also used to only be able to travel on weekends because Dan was the primary driver and he couldn’t take time away from his work during week days. We would occasionally be able to squeeze travel in on a week day if the drive was under 3 hours and after the work day. The hardest part about that though, other than driving at night, is that our weekends are our most valuable time. Weekends are the best time for us to be exploring new places and enjoying the greatest benefit of RV life.

Indi täze RV sürmek has amatly bolansoň, Dan sürenimde işläp biler. Syýahat günleri indi işden wagt almalydygymyzy aňlatmaýar. It’s all about efficiency and multi-tasking, right? And our weekends are free for adventuring!

Has gowy gaz aralygy

What do you get when you cross a GMC Sierra 2500 truck and a 8,500 pound fifth wheel? A gas guzzler! That’s not a joke. We used to get 7-8 miles per gallon while towing! Then we’d continue to get poor gas mileage when we would detach the trailer and drive the truck around cities. We basically lived at gas stations.

Indi motoryň özi diňe ýük awtoulagynyňky ýaly gaz aralygy alýar, which is around 15 mpg. When we tow our Jeep Wrangler behind the motorhome, we still average around 11 miles per gallon…not too shabby. But when we arrive, we can ride around in the jeep and get 18 miles per gallon around the city! Cha-ching! More money in our pockets, which makes us happy campers!

Şol ýerde-de bar! Elbetde, bäşinji tigirden motorly jaýa geçmek kararymyzdan diýseň hoşal! 2018 Winnebago Navion 24D saýladyk we aşyk bolduk! We named her “Wanda” because she allows us to “wanda” around the country while feeding our “wanda-lust”. Or, as my dad says, we “wanda” how we’re going to pay for her! But, as they say, not all who “wanda” are lost. Ha! Okay, that’s enough puns!
