    What sort of RV did you go in for?

    I've never figured out the "classes" and what is really involved.

    Better half wants an Airstream, but then says she doesn't think she could drive if it was under tow.

    Hmmm....

    I would highly recommend that if you get involved, take a class to learn about turning
    radius; how to use your mirrors and a rear-view camera if you have one. Some dealers
    will offer it for free if you purchase from them.

    Once she feels comfortable driving the tow vehicle, it's not much different when towing.

    I've been watching people on YouTube turning Priuses (Prii?) into
    campers - remove the rear seats and put a platform in there, and make
    window coverings. The climate control runs independently of the engine,
    so you can keep the climate control set to a comfortable temp and have
    the engine kick over when needed.

    It's tempting for a weekend trip, don't know if I'd do it full time.




    ... It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it plays out for 'em...
