WOW! This is better than Christmas! We actually bought an RV after 8 months of talking and planning and going back and forth on the decison. We'll be picking up our 2008 Newmar Ventana on Sept. 1 and driving it back to NC. We're still deciding on the toad. Any help with deciding between a Ford Escape and Honda CR V? It's us and two big dogs so we need the cargo space.
By the way this is the absolutely the best website on the web for RV info.

First, welcome to the Forum and Family!
Next, congratulations on the purchase!
Either choice will make a good toad. We tow a Honda Element, which is on the same platform as the CR-V. Love it. Therefore we are partial. You choose!
Most of all, be safe and enjoy!!!

Welcome to the forum!!
You've got many more exciting times ahead of you.
That drive back, the packing of the RV, the very first camping trip, will all be exciting times. And, if you go full-timing, that will be the most exciting.
Have fun and keep us informed about your adventures.

Congratulations! The planning stage is fun & exciting but no comparison to actually pulling the trigger! Good luck with your new rig. You're in for some fun times!

We also tow a Honda Element and love it. We debated the Cr-V vs Element but with seats folded to the sides in the back there really is a lot of room. Also really like the extra room in the front because I do most of the driving and my husband (who is not tiny) has plenty of room in the passenger seat. CR-V was a little cramped. In order to tow 4 wheels down (without some additional equipment) you must get one 2005 or older.
Welcome to a wonderful way of life. After 3 years we still love it and feel very blessed to be able to live the way we do.
