  • I like mine, see sig. The cab over is a great storage place. The third time I raise a knee to get in I am inside. There is 100cf of outside storage in the back. The AC unit cycles on & off with temps in the mid-nineties and high humidity. With the addition of a Safe-T-Plus and increasing the castor. Wind and big rigs are not a problem. At first look the bathroom sucks. But when I realized the door locks open becoming a privacy screen there is lots of room. I like no slides.

    I wish I had seen the kitchen layout of some of the 27’ rentals for sale before I bought. They have better counter space. The generator is very noisy when outside. Inside you barely know it is running.

    When I travel it is just me and the Irish Poodle.
  • Whatever you buy, recommend it has rear bedroom with fore and aft RV queen bed with access on both sides (or),second choice, twin beds. You will probably also have convertible sofa or dinette and overhead bunk for kids. With a 30 footer you may not need slides. Our fridge, roof AC, converter/charger and two 6-volt T-105 batteries needed replacement at around 10 years old. Tires should be replaced when older than 5-6 years old regardless of appearance or tread depth. Have engine cooling system and brakes serviced as needed. Buy 3-5 years old if used and have rig inspected by pro truck mechanic and a trusted pro RV repair and get estimates for replacements or repairs including parts and labor. Read "stickies" and recent advice threads on this forum. If any smell of mold or water stains in ceiling, do not buy.
  • I,d buy a rv that had a solid roof, they leak less, born free would be a good choice.I,d also get one with a small diesel engine, gas will not al ways be cheap.
  • I had 2 class C's and both leaked between the cab and the unit. I would recommend you looking at a small class A. I bought a Thor Vegas and love it. You can privet message me if you like.
