Newbie, looking for general opinions and advice!
Hello friends,
So glad I found this forum.
TLDR: Born and raised, currently living in Rhode Island. My fiance and I, and our two cats are moving to coastal Maine from April-October, getting married there, traveling the southern states for one month, and then setting up somewhere warm until its time to go back to Maine again.
We have read a lot, and have friends who have been full time for a while, but we just really need some clarity.
We like Forest River, but are open to other brands.
Here are our needs/concerns:
-We feel we want a travel trailer, and the runner up is fifth wheel. no motor homes.
-we were told to get a "four season" trailer. We would never be anywhere near freezing temps. My fiance wont tolerate it. I, with very little knowledge, feel we dont need a 4 season. Change my mind??
-we need at least a 30 foot trailer. Fiance works from home, and would need a little space for his desk without being crushed
-I was told to buy slightly used, because the price is lower and factory issues have already been dealt with. Opinions?
- This will not be a permanent lifestyle for us. We are thinking two years.
-We will be stationary 90% of the time. not constantly traveling.
We have done a lot of research, and have been talking about making this move for a long time. I am a Coastal Ecologist and stumbled upon an amazing job opportunity. Most environmental professionals travel for seasonal jobs in their early careers. You don't have to, but it gives you a leg up for job opportunities if you are not tied down. After having a few jobs in my field I realized my specialty and was offered the job of my dreams, in the place we planned to spend our lives. (the first week we were dating, we took a spontaneous trip to Maine. We fell in love there.). Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope I posted it in the right place.
