Decisions

Did to health reasons (husbands) have decided to sell the 5th wheel. Looking at class cs. Narrowed down to under 30 feet. Would prefer 27 or 28. Considering used. Looking at coachman leprechaun 260 d's or Thor Chateau 28z. Any recommendations,suggestions would be appreciated.
  • Good lord, she is asking "Any recommendations about Coachman Leprechaun 260 d's or Thor Chateau 28z".:S Sorry I can't help you but I would go with whatever floor plan fits your needs the best.
  • Try renting a C. If hooking and unhooking are the issue with the 5er, I believe you need some coaching and stress reduction. Learned this years ago when I watched a guy who could hardly walk slowly and carefully hook up...refusing all help. No stress in that man!

    Maybe it about driving and towing, hitching up and setup

    With a class C, it's more simple, less to do, and she can do some of the driving


    Well,
    That's a possible answer but, without taking some sort of informal or formal survey, I'd say that about 98% of the folks that travel in either class C's or class A's, ALSO tow a toad. So, you'd still have some form of hook-up and disconnect, before and after a days traveling. The type of hookup and disconnect will of course, be a bit different.
    A person or, couple can procure say, a 26'-28' class C and then get a small toad that takes literally a minute or two to hook up. Then, they have the versatility to bee-bop around after setting up camp. Maintenance is also a bit difference. Yep, a bit of engine, trans and drive train maintenance is gonna be present, for sure. But, it's not all that hard, especially with a C.
