Have you thought about downsizing?

My wife is always making noise about down-sizing. She doesn't feel comfortable even attempting to drive a 40 foot 20+ ton Wanderlodge.

The issue is that to get to something she WILL drive, we have to move down to like a class B or super B. And, she is 5' 6" tall. She will fit in those. I'm 6' 4". I don't fit in the showers of those things at all and the beds are usually shorter.

She doesn't drive anywhere we go on vacation anyhow (even when we don't take the motorhome) so I sure don't get why it is an issue.

My wife feels the same way and never felt comfortable out west on winding mountain roads. She used to drive the Class A when we first got it back east and on highways, but after two front end failures due to the wrong ball joints being installed she does not want to travel in a large Class A anymore. Started looking at smaller MH's and lack of storage and small FW tanks are the two main drawbacks for me. A short 24ft Class C with a full wall slide and Queen bed provides a lot of interior room. I don't know what the ride quality is like. I started looking into truck campers also but to get any equivalent space you need something like a Mammoth camper with several slides and a DRW truck to haul it and the truck alone will cost as much as the small C or more. Looked at several sprinters and without some slides they are very cramped inside. Every option has trade offs to consider based on how you plan to use it.
