I don't understand why people think that 22-24 foot (short) Class C's are best.
The rather common 27 foot class C's have more comfortable rear bedrooms with RV queen bed and sufficient storage and cabinet space to keep clutter out of the aisle and shower stall etc. A few Class C's have separate bunk beds in the rear bedroom. Sleeping in the overhead or convertible dinette, etc. is OK for one person, short term. sleeping in the overhead is not so good with one person climbing over the other to go to the bathroom in the dark down the ladder and return without waking the other. Most Class C's have the same width and height regardless of length. Driving and parking a 27 foot Class C is not much different than driving a 24 footer and gas mileage is not much different. When you look at class C's of different lengths and floor plans, go through the motions of sleeping, eating, watching TV, cooking, etc. If rig has slides, are they in the way when retracted while stopped for lunch, etc.??
