TheHound, Seeing that you're from Toronto, and may experience some cool weather....take a look at the Bigfoot MH's. Though you will have to buy used! Made right there in Canada, they're one of the best class c's for cool/cold weather use! We ended up with a 26Sl, which is slightly longer than what you specified, but has pretty amazing room and storage. The quality of construction/cabinetry, etc. seems to as good or better than most. The original owners (cross country skiers), used it down to a minus 17 F with the water system in service. One of the "very few" units with enclosed/heated tanks. We haven't been able to "cold" test it yet (as we just recently got it), but will in a month or so.
They are on the E 450 Ford Chassis, and are "not" inexpensive. Also, be careful with the V-10 Ford engine produced prior to 2004, as they had a poor head design, and had a history of "blowing" out spark plugs. Just for piece of mind get a unit that is an 05 or newer, as some 03/04 engines may have been used in a later model RV. As an example, generally speaking... a 2006 unit will have an 05 chassis. Also, another in going with an 05 or newer will likely get you the 5 speed auto transmission.
Good luck on whatever you choose.
