Can I Pick Your Brains About Smaller Class C's?

X2 on what rockhill posted. Buy a 28-30' and put 23' decals on it before you bring it home.

You might look at Phoenix Cruiser. Seems like used units are available typically. They have 6 models at 25' or less.

Born Free makes 7 models at 25' or less, though not all have been available for a long time in order for there to be used inventory.

I don't need a walk around queen. Once I am in bed, that is it for the night. Is there a smaller (<25') RV with a queen size rear bed?

Slides are great as we have a small one now in our TT and they really open up the interior.

Maybe I should have been more specific about generous bathrooms. I realize everything will be a compromise. As long as I (6'1", 240 lbs)fit comfortably in the shower, then all is good.

I have only been married a short time, 39 years. In that short time I have learned one thing, when Momma says I can't drive that, It means she WON"T drive it. 25 foot is about her limit That is why I am trying to understand what is available before I go looking for it. If it isn't possible, then I guess we have to figure a Plan B. Thanks for the insights so far!

We had a Class C (back in late '90s up until about 2005) a '96 bough in '97. It was a small one, no rear bed, only the overhead & two side ones. Haven't done any looking lately. I've always like smaller RVs and would think you could find what you are asking for.

You didn't mention slides, seems with slides one can get more room with a shorter wheel base. I know kind of dumb statement. Not nuclear science, ha! Anyway, are you in favor of a slide or slides.....

Back when I was looking at RVs, seems they had a small C with rear beds. Seems one or two might have been a larger B-Class.....at least it had a Sprinter cab & power train.

B-Class:
Might be too small & pricey - no queen bed

Queen Bed in Small Unit - Pricey

One feature I didn't like with or C-Class was it was so high profiled. More head room than anyone would ever need. More to have to cut the wind with.

A Class C with what you want

Close to Price Range

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
