Class C choices
Looking for some advice or some personal experiences from current owners. I am close to a decision and just wonder if anyone has had any unfortunate experiences with their Class C; Jayco Grey/RedHawks...

Hi, our 31 foot Itasca Sundancer has been nothing but good. Definitely watch the weight. We carry minimal water in tanks, 2 days food and our clothes, grill etc. and we're maxxed on rear axle weight. Keep the tires at 80 PSI front and rear. Tows like a champ, has plenty of counter space. Levelers and 1 slide included. Longer is definitely better as far as livability is concerned. We spend 4-5 months a year in ours. have fun and welcome to the forum...

I would imagine, you would improve your ride, if you dropped your front tire pressures to 65# psi, which is more than enough pressure to support the weight of a maxed out 4,600# rated front axle.
I have a 2001 31C (which I've never driven) that is much nicer than my almost the same floor planned, newer 31K, although all that "nice"comes with a considerable weight penalty. My 31K has over 3,275# OCCC,while the 31C lists sleeping spaces for 4 154# people equal to 616# and a cargo capacity of 397# for a total of 1,013# OCCC. I don't know the axle weights,
The 31C is on a 14,050#GVWR chassis, while the 31K is on a 14,500# GVWR chassis, but still there is a big difference in the overall weight. The 31C is also about a foot shorter than the 31K.
