Class C, purchase

Lazy Daze and Born Free make very nice 24 feet Class Cs.
I own a Born Free 24 foot.

Another top quality RV in the size you want would be Lazydaze

Depends how much you want to spend. We have a Phoenix Cruiser on order and can't wait. Our primary objective was the length, wanted something short, and the floor plan. Pricier than we wanted, but we're happy and confident we made the right choice.
There are some very nice units out there, but none of them really fit our bill. I'd say if I were to start looking again, I'd start with the basics: Motor train, Ford, Dodge, MB, etc. (Find the one you like.) Then the length you feel most comfortable with, now fit your desired floor plan into that length. Then get ready for sticker shock.
From there it's give and take.
