cant seem to find a clas C under 29ft reasonable

We went thru much the same thing a few years back as we run in the back county so needed a shorter one. We got ours thru a dealership after trying the same places as you but in California every thing has to work 90 days or they fix it so was a better deal for us. They replaced the microwave, water heater and did an upgrade on the fridge. Good luck looking. The one you want is out there some place.
