Old or Older?
Ryan,
Thanks for the good info. But what is a SP? A longer version maybe? Space and storage will be an issue. I had a friend a few years ago, who lived on a 34' sailboat and I remember him talking about Christmas presents for his wife and 2 teenagers. I came down to what would fit and maybe what they would have to get rid of to make space! I'm sure this is a typical conversation in the RV world. As far as the driving part, I've driven trucks in the past for a living and should pick up the skills pretty quickly, I hope. What about the motor in the front vs. the back debates?
