Looking into buying my first. Cant decide to go 18-20' or 24-25'. I like the short frame for ease of towing and storage, but also like the longer frames for more inside space. Mainly for state parks and beach, but will dry camp too on the farm. For all y'all campers what do you wish you would have gotten or glad you did? Just cant decide whats best at this point.

Airstreams are more money but from what I've heard the build quality is head and shoulders better. Normal campers & most RVs plummet like a rock in value because they don't age very well. I won't be buying an airstream, I won't camp enough in my lifetime to justify spending 60k on a 25' camper. From my expereince pricing out campers I wouldn't say they plummet like a rock, they do depreciate, but it seems on par with vehicles.

Bigger is better imo. Slide outs help with space and comfort. I personally won't buy one with carpet because of mud and sand. If you buy used, look for leaks/water damage.

I've got 31' of living space with a super slide in the living my area. The back has a bunk house floor plan for the kids. I wished I had of gotten one with a slide out in the bunk house and the master bed room as well. An outdoor kitchen is nice too.

There's no way that I'd ever buy a new camper. The minute you pull it off the lot, before you ever camp in it, you will have lost 25% of what you paid for it. Try to sell it and you're gonna take more loss. Not if but when, it WILL leak. Professional repair costs are thru the roof(no pun intended).
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I'd look for a used Grand Design or Winnebago over 20'.

If I buy another camper, it will be an Airstream...but it won't be a new one. Our last camper was 29'...I think I learned that the bigger they are, the less inclined you'll be to use it.
Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something.
Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby...
I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

Get the biggest you can pull , don’t get one that has the cooktop and/or sink on the slide, you will appreciate the outside kitchen

Slide out is a must. Amazing at the room it gives.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.
