Looking to buy an RV

I am at the point in my life where I want to do some camping and relax...

I want to buy a New RV , I want about a 16footer but I want it to be super light.

Looked at scamps and Catista on the internet and really like those and would like to see similar brands to these.

I have a V6 Explorer with the towing package , I am very experienced obviously at pulling very heavy trailers but thats not what I want... Just want something light in the 10k-15k range I can pay cash for.

If you're used to driving semis, I'm curious why you didn't buy a fifth-wheel instead of an RV. It seems like they're way cheaper and for the difference you could get a truck that you could take around town while you're on road trips.

I like to turn the generator on and drive down the road with the house ac on, I like to pull into a big parking lot and make a sammich from the fridge and a cold drink... Take a leak and maybe watch the news for a few mins..This thing has so much basement space you literally bring anything you want..Has so much room for waste and fresh water storage you don't even have to hook up to anything but electricity ... We normally don't drink tap water from any rv but it does have a charcoal water filtration system on board...

Tougher to do in a travel trailer ... you just have to plan accordingly... I dont have to hook up to a trailer in the wet grass or load up my motorhome, everything is already in there, just get behind the wheel and drive...You can take your time going to your destination or if you dont feel like driving, park it in the walmart parking lot, turn on the generator and let it run for 12 hours... may cost u 10 bucks in gas, I love 5th wheels but I love motorhomes more

not a knock on fifth wheels, there are a lot bigger nicer fifth wheels like dartgods than my old 99 model but its just what we like

Yeah I could have bought a Four Winns model for cheaper and it had a turbo diesel in it but it was at 6.5 GM turbo diesel and it's got a bad reputation for cracking heads

Yeah, that's a no go. I figured they'd be rigged up different.
