From my B to a C - Recommendations?

After 5 happy years with my PW Lexor, I'm starting my research for buying my first C. I live in Colorado but drove the B to Tampa and will have frequent extended visits here with my dad through the winter, so plan to trade here as I am far from any inventory at home. I'm a research addict and am happy to visit loads of dealerships as well as the Supershow in January. I've seen about a 1/2 dozen units so far, new or used, gas or diesel, just depends on quality,reliability but 21-24', slide optional but prefer not, 80" bed length preferable and rear bed/bath combo desired, vented air, large rear window over bed (we'll miss those cargo doors on the B) Have you owned units like this and what can you tell me about your experience with them? Thanks for your input, I won't make a decision till after the new year so have plenty of time to make a good choice.
  • Like mumkin, I think you'd be tickled pink with a Leisure Travel Van Libero. It's got everything on your wish list, lovely cabinetry and quality construction.
  • Another very good factory direct company - http://www.lazydaze.com/ . Used LazyDaze are very hard to fine also. Owners tend to hold on to them till they die.
  • Based upon our very happy experience I would recommend you take a look at the line up from Nexus RV. Our Phantom 23P sounds a lot like what you seek. The overall quality, fit and finish are off the chart and you would be dealing factory direct with the owners unless you get lucky enough to find one used as we did but there are not many out there. Good hunting!

  • I've had a 24 foot class C for over a year now and am very happy. If you want to get in cheap, you can buy a used Cruise America RV like I did. If you want new, Thor, Winnebago and a number of other companies make good class C RV's. Go to shows, go to dealers, shop online, watch the classifieds. You'll find something that you have to buy.
