Advice Needed: Class A for a large family

Same question, different day.

I like the toyhauler answer. Garage can be converted to whatever you want.

Or older tour bus from the entertainment crowd on a mci or prevost ..
The toy hauler conversion sounds good though as a start...

Welcome to the forums. I wish you had left out the "pretty" certain as you will get all kinds of other ideas on what type of RV.
I guess my question is what to you haul all of them around in now as with a large MH, you need a car (toad) that you pull behind the MH.
Answer that ? and we can go from there.

You should look at a Class A with bunks. We just looked at one with 4 bunks in the back. I think it was a 2013 Hurricane.

Newmar makes a 40ft gas MH, Canyon Star 3920, on a 26klb F53 chassis that has an 8x10 garage, and 5500lb carrying capacity. That, in my opinion, would support what a family of 7 traveling around the country would need...

Ages & sex of the kids would help in determining where they would all sleep. You won't find one with separate bedrooms.

Budget would help. I have a friend that has a Liberty Prevost set up for a family of five. 45' long with all of the luxury items one would want. Not cheap now but about 1/3 of the cost of new and it has 22,000 miles. Send me a PM if interested.

thanks so much for all the immediate response, I am blown away. Here is more background. My kids are 4 boys, 12, 10, 6 and 6 and a 9 year old girl. We currently camp in a 34ft. TT pulled my by our Expedition. As the expedition might be too big to pull, we have a chevy venture mini-van that we would like to ideally tow behind the coach, if the expedition is too big.

I am fortunate to have a job that will allow me to be mobile and work from "home" but more realistically in one of my company's offices throughout the country (we have them all over).

Our kids are pretty flexible and open to different things and used to sharing space for sure.

We currently live in Tallahassee but have all been itching for a change. Our plan is to visit numerous places throughout the country that are intriging to us, enjoy expereince, expose our kids to more and ultimately find a place that we might want to settle down after a longtrip on the road together.

I really appreciate your help with this! Thanks much and please let me know if more information would be helpful.

If you don't already know, familiarize yourself with the following:
GVWR
GVCC
and most importantly..CCC

Good luck, sounds like a wonderful fun time ahead. The kids will experience things few other kids will ever have the opportunity to. We take our grandson with us every year for his summer vacation. He has seen every State west of the Mississippi, and he just turned 13.....Dennis

People who live and work on the road in small groups use a Crew Bus. It is also called a "band bus" when it is carrying the band rather than the stage crew.

Not strictly a RV, more of a commercial vehicle, a crew bus provides bunks for eight to twelve people, with moderate privacy, and a common living area with modest cooking and eating facilities.

I work stage crew, volunteer, at our community theater. The professional stage crews (roadies) come in on these all the time.

I think an old crew bus would make a great full-timing vehicle for a large family. A lot more suited to the purpose than a Class A RV that has been configured either for full-timing by a couple, or short term "camping" for a SMALL family.

The RV industry does not very well address the needs of large families. That is from the experience of a large family (8 children, parents, grandparents) that RVed up to ten of us at a time.
