I own a Born Free similar to Chuck's.

Having water is nice but water is heavy. Even in these two - which have a lot of weight margin for an RV - filling all the fluids adds too much weight. I like to dump black water before leaving, use restrooms at stops etc, and carry no more than 1/2 tank of fresh water until near the destination.

A 2000 lbs margin is pretty big for an RV until you to very large ones. You have to be careful when buying to make everyone and their luggage fit in the weight limit (and there are lots of limits to consider - you need to check each wheel on a scale, not just assume it's evenly distributed). I've seen some $400,000 RVs that would require a skinny driver if the gas tank was full...

You generally can't get satellite TV when moving. The vehicle moves a lot and everyone needs to be in seat-belts anyway.

This probably isn't a problem for Chuck but an occasional RV driver will find that driving even a small RV is *very fatiguing*. I can only cover about half the distance per day that I can do in a car.

We have a Saturn as a Toad and store stuff in its trunk to balance the weight across all of the brakes better.

Bigger RV's are not better in my opinion. Unless there is some specific need 30' is about the limit for something you can drive most places.
