for us as we like a somewhat generous bathroom/shower. We do need a queen bed at least. I like the class Cs that have a rear bed
I will help you save gas driving all around looking at Class C's in the 24 foot range. When I went to buy my first used MH I wanted to stay small and looked and looked for over 4 months.
Disclaimer: I am sure there are exceptions to what I am going to say about older model 24 ft, but I sure didn't find any.
The 24ft floor plan 'usually' has a corner bed and the other corner is a very very small bathroom. I never did find one with a queen bed. AND the bed IS in a corner so you have but one small way to get in and get out for both people. Which means one person crawling on your hands and knees to get to the far side!!
If the DW can drive a van or a Class C she can drive 'any length' Class C. The driving/handling down the road is the same on a 24 ft as it is on a 31 ft. The only learning curve is pulling away from the pumps and changing lanes to accommodate the extra length.
The only walk around queen bed I have ever seen is in the 31 ft range.
If you have difficulty getting around, IMHO the walk around queen bed is the way to go for getting in and out and making the bed!
I ended up buying a 31 ft with a 'split bathroom'. This gives you an enormous amount of room to move around in and a great 3 sided glass shower with skylight! It also gives the entire MH a larger open feeling from front to back. I absolutely hated the ones with a narrow hallway to the back. Made if feel like all you had for living quarters was the living room.
Good Luck in your endeavor to find the "perfect for you" MH. :C
