As you know from my previous posts we are looking to fulltime travel US from March this year, moving from sailing fulltime so we used to "camping".
We still haven't decided on type of the RV, i have shortlisted three fivers and have asked for opinions in separate thread. But recent discussions with my better half brought up the issue of the size and access to the parks and flexibility to boondock etc., so i was tasked to investigate MH's in 25' - 35' range.
I have shortlisted couple new ones, now we are looking at new one for now is the older ones i have found look dated, don't have all the cool gadgets (solar prep. for example) and layouts seems all the same (we want separate full bathroom and separate bedroom), but we are still open to get used one if we find what we want.
so far i have identified these :
1. Winnebago Vista LX 27N
2. Newmar BayStar 3124
3. Thor Palazzo 33.2 (or 33.3 if the bunk can be converted to wardrobe)
4. Coachmen Pursuit 32WC / Mirada 32SS
Most of them are gassers and Thor is DP
If we chose one of these i am expecting to toad Wrangler so 5k# towing capacity minimum.
I would appreciate any input, especially if you can think of any suggestions for us in this regard :) ?
Personally i like the diesel better :-)
Among the ones on your list, the Newmar stands out, as a better choice and maybe even better with a canyon star.
However if you're considering a diesel as well, then I'm with jplante4, in the likelihood of revamping your list.
Whatever the choice, you may want to consider quality of engineering, over newness for meeting your budget requirements, unless money is no object and you can have it all.
