IF buying new......You should try to negotiate putting in the Auto-start/stop for your gen set, an extra battery or two and also have a fairly sizable inverter (suggest a Magnum 2500w or larger) wired in at the git go...before you take it home...That way you should get a full meal deal warranty on them..
ALSO... Demand at least 2 roof A/C units (and size the gen set to match)
These coaches (of any brand) are an ice box in the winter and a dutch oven in the summer.

The solar may or may not help.. depends on weather/sun/shade...and how much money you have to throw at the RV...


HOWEVER...IMHO....


Keep in mind..
Your 1st coach is a learning tool..
When You tour/view "In Person" any perspective coach..
View it First with all slides retracted,
If the coach is fully usable without the slides extended, then give it a second look.
(Think wally-docking,rest areas,truckstops...any where that you cannot/do not have room for the slides to be extended)

BUY USED! & buy one with everything you "think" you want and will need..
IF the perspective coach seems a bit small but still "DO-Able" .......REMEMBER!!!
What seemed small... becomes unbearably TINY after being Coop'd up" for a week or more due to weather...
(AKA.....Cabin Fever)
And.... You WILL make mistakes and have booboo's We all have.....(sometimes more than twice..)
Within a year or two you will discover..about the RV

What you love about the RV...
What you can kinda-sorta tolerate with the RV..
And what you absolutely hate about that !@#$%^%$#@! RV.
Then you can go get what you should have gotten in the first place..
Happy Hunting

Remember!!!!
Every day you "put off" retiring...is just one LESS day you have remaining to enjoy being RETIRED !!!
