You might want to look at the Class A MB Sprinter based Winnebago Via. They have up to 90 sq ft of exterior storage....depends on the floor plan. VIA are only 25.5 feet long. As previously mentioned, I wouldn't pull a 5000 # toad with either of them. I believe that most people with these don't tow a car at all. We have progressed to very rarely pulling our toad. It is so much easier to take the dogs with us in the RV wherever we go. Then we leave them in it and run the genny and we can shop or eat or sightsee for hours with no worrys (we do have a camera to monitor them). We are currently staying in a state park and left our 2 cars on the site today while we went shopping with the dogs in the Via. They drive and maneuver like a minivan.
i will look more into those, but the towing part makes it real tough as we need that.
thanks for the suggestion and information!
The combined weight rating for a Sprinter based RV when towing is 15,000 lbs. A fully laden Sprinter based C or A is 11,000 lbs which only leaves 4,000 to tow anyway.
Currently the longest Sprinter based RV is about 25 feet (25.5 I think).
OCCC gets a vote too. Some of the Sprinter based RVs (particularly the dual slide ones) don't have much margin for carrying stuff. I don't know what the class As are like but if I recall correctly they don't have a lot either. Mine is about 1500 lbs and we pretty much use it up.
