Downsizing to B+
Hi everyone,
Wanted to pick your collective brains about Class B+ motorhomes. Am considering the Coach House 220 TB (twin bed) or the Nexus Viper 24V. Also maybe Pleasure Way Pursuit.
All three models are built on the Ford E 350 or E 450 chassis, so that's not an issue. What I wondered about was your experience with the actual RV companies in regards to quality of workmanship, durability, ease of handling, and any repair nightmares. :(
At this time, we are leaning toward the Coach House but the price tag is a bit more than we would like. I was surprised that so many things were "options" when you would think it was included for that price. (Starting price is $128K.) But it has a great layout and they have a reputation for high quality materials.
The Nexus is around half the price and seems to also have high quality workmanship and materials including Norcold ref while CH has Dometic ref.
Our priority is to have a unit that is easy to drive including in the city or high traffic areas and easy to maneuver so that one person can go alone if need be without having a "spotter" to help park. But also comfortable to sleep and enough storage for essentials such as golf clubs. :R And 2 big furry children. Also good quality RV so it doesn't spend most of the time in the repair shop.
We currently have a class A 34 ft. Southwind Storm and it is just too hard to handle alone and not easy to drive or park.
Appreciate any advice and experience you have had with any of these units or dealers.
Thanks!
