Buying a Class A without slides??
Hi, I am looking at a 2011 Hurricane 30Q, no slides but very low milleage and below 40,000 dollars in excellent condition. I would like your opinion on a class A without slides. I currently have a ...

We actually looked for a motor home with no slides; AND not 102" but 96" (8'). It is (or was) one of the top-of-the-line brands but their cheapest model. We want to return to Baja California where we sailed our 32' cutter "Kibitka" in the 1980s with two kids. We remember beaches with palapas that were sun drenched and right on the water for kayaking and fishing.
Our previous 5er had one slide and it was forever giving us issues. Plus it brought leaves into the rig when it closed. And it was hotter in the summer and drafty in the fall/spring.
The only thing I liked about the 5er was the bedroom which had no slide and was very comfortable with large windows on each side that gave us a breeze across the bed at night. The motor home we have now is very much like that.
We like the light weight for a DP (22,500lbs) and the engine with a Banks package gives us better hp/weight than many new coaches with 600hp engines. We commonly get to 50 by the end of the on-ramps and still get 10-12mpg depending on towed.
YMMV but we like our narrow, low, light, nimble motor home. Plus we bought it used so someone else already took the hit for no slides. :D
