I posted in Class C section already. We're thinking about a motorhome, either Class A or Class C. Not sure which one is the best? We want something used around $25-$30K. Any recommendations or buying advice? We've had a 23ft TT for the last 3 years(and prior to that a pop-up for 11 years). Thank you. Any advice, info, is appreciated.

There are a bazillion Class A vs. Class C threads. Most recent one was started last week I believe.This is in the Class A section, so you're going to get people that like Class As. You also posted in the Class C section. You're going to get people that like Class Cs."What's best" is up to you. Get out there and check out floor plans, driving position, handling etc. Let us know what you decide.

Go look at and drive several different makes and types. You will have to make the decision which is best for your situation.Personally, I think the Class A is the best choice.But, when I get a newer unit, I'll look at Class C also.The floor plan is important, just like in a TT or other RV.

we have rented a class C with our children. When we finally decided to buy we got a Class A more comfortable. Try renting each one with the floor plan you feel you are comfortable with then decide.

We might be able to offer more assistance if you could tell us a little about your planned usage. For example, how many people will be travelling (adults/children), do you plan to do a lot of dry camping or mostly with hook-ups, long extended trips or short trips. Stuff like that.I can tell you that for our family of 6, the dual sofa, dual slide Class A motorhome we purchased 10 years ago is a near-perfect match for the way we use it. Of course, it took us about 2 years of research to find the perfect floorplan for us, but we ultimately did. (This is our first RV of any type.) We went from looking at small pop-ups to tow behind our minivan, to travel trailers being towed by a full-size van, to class C's and ultimately Class A's. Take your time and know what you want and need.Good Luck,~Rick

From our POV, it's no contest. Class A gives you a cab area that can be included in the house by turning the seats around. It has a much more expansive view from the front seats and there isn't that useless aluminum box obscuring your upward view through the windshield.We started out with a 26' C and gave up after 1.5 seasons. Three years later we bought out present rig, which gets better mileage than the 460 with a carb, has a lot more room and is easier to drive.Unfortunately, since we had the "C", gas has gone from $1.75 to near $4.00 and CG fees from $15 a night to over $30. A 10-day, 1200 mile trip now costs near $1000. Can't do that on a limited retiree budget, so the rig will be up for sale next month.
