Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As anything, RV’s are very specific to each individual, family, or business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For us, our requirements in 2015 when we were shopping for a motorhome were the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Length<\/strong>: short enough to fit in our driveway. We didn’t want to have to store it someplace else.<\/li>
Seating<\/strong>: minimum 3 seats. At the time we had 1 child, so we wanted to have 2 seats in front and at least 1 other seat in the RV that had a “real seat” with shoulder belts. We saw many RV’s that had a kitchen table in it and lap belts and the salesman tried to convince us that was “safe”.<\/li>
AC<\/strong>: We had a dog that we wanted to take with us places. We wouldn’t leave him long, but maybe to run in a store and buy groceries, etc. We wanted 2-3 hours of AC run time.<\/li>
Modern<\/strong>: design of the interior was very important to us. Think granite, stainless steel, etc. We like modern. <\/li>
Big refrigerator<\/strong>: separate compartments for cold and frozen foods. <\/li>
Bathroom<\/strong>: we wanted to be able to use it while driving down the road<\/li>
Bed<\/strong>: Sleeps 2 adults and a small child comfortably<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
After all of our searching, we narrowed down our choices. This is what our selection list looked like (it was actually a lot more detailed, these are just summaries):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
