Which of these guitars would be best for a motorhome?

[Joeontheguitar]

Great plan. A friend of mine lives in a van full time for years now and he loves it. He is a software developer and can work with a laptop and internet connection. He also has a video blog about his mobile lifestyle: JayBe Outdoor TV - YouTube
My brother and sister in law live on a boat – he's retired. Both seem very happy with their life on the road and on the sea.
I think robustness should be the number one to consider. A solidbody or thinline tele or a laminated guitar will work. A rugged finish is a thing to consider. Another thing to consider is the strings. I brought an acoustic guitar for my sister in law and when I visited again a year later the strings were all rusty – living on the water is brutal for all metals. I should have strung it with coated strings.
If space is an issue you could also think about a headless guitar. The new Strandberg Sälen Jazz was the first thing that came to my mind. OTOH I'd just take the guitar you like to play most. As long as it isn't too delicate you should be able to enjoy it everywhere you go.

Thanks for the good advice!

You're asking for something that sounds great, can take a bit of punishment if need be and is easy and cheap to replace given theft?


Isn't the obvious answer a Telecaster?

That is indeed the most obvious answer.

I'm selling most of my ukes, except my Godin electro uke.
With the money I get from selling, I ordered (I might have waited till I really sold them, but anyway) a Romero Creations D Ho 6 string nylon. One turned up at Thomann and I jumped at it, knowing that these things are often out of stock in no time. If I like it, the acoustic part is covered. I can play that thing while my wife is driving the RV.

As far as electric, it might be the Tele, or the T64, or the Romeo. The PM100 will be one of the few things that I'll store with a family member.

For the rest, I'll sell all my stuff. Storage space is very expensive here and I have few things of value.

Update: we bought a campervan and are clearing the house to prep it for selling. We'll make a testrun when the worst of winter is over and see what we can squeeze in and what we'll have to store or sell.
Besides music, outdoor sports is one of our biggest passions and we plan on doing some serious multi-day hiking and packrafting (check google if you don't know what that is). We'll (happily) sacrifice storage space that people normally use for clothing and cookware, to bring instruments and outdoor gear.

We have one rule: there should be no shifting of gear/stuff to be able to get in the bed or the toilet. So if all storage is full, we won't bring anything else.

Did you decide on the guitar already?
If size matters a Casino Coupe or Höfner Verythin Deluxe may be nice options, too.

Good question. It will either be the thinline Tele (which I am enjoying so much now in lockdown with a Tim Lerch Truefire course), the Romeo (small, can do it all, but a slightly more sensitive solid wood top) or the T64. The PM100 will be stored away safely. The risk of theft is too big. As is the body of the guitar.
