Class C Hierarchy List?

Thank you all for your responses. Maybe a Consumer Report type of thing is what I'm after, as I know personal opinions can vary, even for the same exact coach. Looking back, my question may have been construed as kind of stupid I guess, too broad. I apologize, I should have been more specific.

We have owned our 29' 5er with a 16' slide for 6-7 years now, however, its just too big for where we want to go. We are looking for smaller CGs, less people, more remote, boondocking when we can.

We have had a change of lifestyle over the last year. My husband got an ear infection that damaged his balance centers in both ears, leaving him with hearing loss, balance issues, and no depth perception. Riding in a vehicle causes him to be very motion sick, but its better in the back seat, so we think a MH is our best move. Driving is OUT of the question for him, so now I am the only driver now.

We are looking for a 24-26" Class C with rear queen. Model year 1999-2003? Mostly finding overpriced Itasca Spirits, with an occasional Minnie Winnie thrown in. The Spirit just looks to be on the lower end, and was the reason for my initial question.

In order for us to help, consider providing us with your family's wants and needs and we can go from there. Example, if you want slide outs, that rules out the Lazy Daze brand often listed among the top tier. Do you want a certain kind of roof? Is your family planning on only going to the nearby lake on weekends or are you planning to travel the country and hit all of the national parks? How many adults/kids are you planning to take on your trips? Finally, if you desire an objective definitive guide ala "Consumer Reports", there is a guide published by an RV Consumer Group, but it costs about $75. Good luck with your search. Bob

You have the King C.

Then comes the Queen C.


Then all the vassal C's.







The King C is the one you want.
The queen C is the one your wife wants.

And al the vassal C' are the ones you can afford.

The one that fits your budget and fits your needs, are you going to only use it to go to the game and tailgate and maybe once a year go camping or are you taking a long trip of several months and the configuration of the unit is important, a good kitchen, a man sized shower and toilet that the paper work can e accomplished with out your arms being smashed on the sides of the cubicle.

Maybe you need a unit that is more for entertaining and has a semi circular table and seat with huge flat screen in front? every one has a certain need in the different models provided, look around visit as many dealers as possible keep a record and then eliminate those that do not meet your need.

The American Clipper is the top of the list. Everything else falls somewhere behind that. :B :S

Seriously, every make has its pros and cons. My American Clipper is a great RV - but it's also 40 years old requiring more work to get things fixed (hard to find replacement parts, etc.). You're going to give up one thing to get another. Just determine what your make and break items are and go with that.

Most people will place their rig at the top of their list. Pros and cons to all of them. Find the floor plan you like, make sure your dealer is reputable for warranty support, get yourself a little tool box for the RV and enjoy!

Everybody has there own personal list.
