We're on our 3rd (and according to DH, LAST motorhome). We've had a B+ and are enjoying our 2nd Class A. We liked our 24' B+ for short close to home trips but with 2 boxers and more stuff for longer trips, we were really cramped.
Motorhome #2 was a 29' Georgetown gasser with 2 slides. We thought we had the PERFECT coach for us and we did make 2 long (month +) trips and lots of shorter trips. The front seats aren't squashed under a bed so that area becomes part of the living area and...WOW! ...does that make a difference. The main complaint we had was handling. Wind, trucks & uneven roads made for a lot of white knuckles and tired drivers.
#3 is a new to us Newmar Ventana DP. We've not yet made any long trips in it but it's just under 35' long so we think we'll be able to find places to camp in state & national parks as well as other public lands fairly easily. We usually don't stay in "RV Resorts" except to dump, take on fresh water & do laundry. It handles much better than the G'town & has "Comfort Drive" to make steering even easier.
Consider what type of "camping" you're going to do. If you'll be without hookups for any length of time, you should consider tank capacities. Are you going to stay in one place for several weeks or keep moving around? Will you have a toad? Another option is an all electric coach which I first thought was not going to work for us but our Ventana is and we love it.
There are so many different options that I'm sure you will find the perfect coach! Keep us posted.
