I travel alone. I down sized from a 36’ Damon Challenger to the 28’ class C in my signature in 2014. I am very happy with the change. Everything from the A went into the C. I use the bed over the cab for storage.
The camper takes up two parking places without the toad. The steering is very responsive. The ride is smooth and there are no creaks, groans or rattles. The third time I raise a knee to get in I am standing on the floor. When I stop for gas I just open the driver’s door and get out. The bathroom door swings out and locks. That makes the bathroom much larger. And the list goes on…
Not so cool things I live with. No leveling jacks. The step into the shower is tall. The holding tanks are about half the size of the ones on the Challenger. With my big feet getting around the dog house is a pain.
Should you decide to make the change. If it is a Ford. Make sure it has the “tow/haul” transmission. I think that was new in 2008 or so.
In hind sight, I wish I knew about Cruse America’s refurbished units before I bought.
