Downsizing from a Class A

We went from a 31' 5th wheel to a 24' MBS and don't regret it at all. People always talk about lack of storage being an issue, and I suppose it could be, if you are used to taking everything and the kitchen sink with you on a trip in case you "may need it", but never do. We travel anywhere fro a few days to 4 or 5 weeks at a time and have yet to use everything we take with us. Yes, you do have to plan a bit more based on limitation of space based on what layout you have and total weight capacity. We have the propane generator and use it occasionally to charge batteries or zap some baking potatoes in the microwave, but consider it an essential item in a MH. Size wise, the reason we went smaller is it does not limit us on where we can go based on length restrictions. Also, it handles well, like a full sized pickup, so if you don't have a toad, getting in and out of parking lots is not a hassle for touring or grocery shopping. My only suggestion, if you are looking cat the 24 foot models, is to seriously consider the diesel vs gas option, and really study the layout of the coach along with how much storage you have in the basement. Often slide configurations will really take away from basement storage. A good example is compare the Forest River 2400W vs the 2400R as the R model has a great deal more available. If you decide to go to the 29 or 30' range, then you are into a a V10, more tow and weight capacity, and that may be a tradeoff you want to consider based on what style of travel / camping you do. Good luck on your search.
