Our family has decided it may be time to get rid of our 37.5 ft 5th wheel and replace it with a 25-32 foot class C motor home. This is our second time considering this and I’m looking for the collective wisdom of the board.Our ideal is a new or newer class C capable of pulling a 3-horse trailer occasionally (between 6000-7000 lbs - kids do 4H and B horse shows) within a 300-500 mile radius of our home and also capable of pulling our CRV for longer family touring trips. We need to sleep 4-6 comfortably and the wife would like 8 seatbelts. We want 1-2 slides and a built in generator. If any of you have experienced with brands and models, please share it! Thanks in advance!

With that towing, sleeping, slides, and generator requirement, you're into a Super C diesel, or a diesel pusher. Not many typical gas engine class C motorhomes can meet those numbers.

X2, mdk. At 1200 pounds per horse, 3 bales of hay plus tack, trailer will be more than you estimate. Your estimated range of 300 to 500 miles has no bearing.

I don’t think i have ever seen an rv that sleeps 6 and belts 8 . Where would you belt them in ? In the dinette ? For 500 miles ? How about thinking about following in the car and adding a tent.

I believe Nexus makes a c close to your specs. The 2021 PHANTOM 32P.nexus. They claim a 7500 lb tow cap and put belts at each seat location
