help deciding on Class B
I'm thinking about trading in my 32'A for a 20-22'B I've looks and searched but just can't find something that fits out needs. Was hoping maybe someone could help. We will mostly be traveling to...

I am really happy with my 2006 Pleasure Way Lexor TD.
on a Chev 3500 chassis, 6.0L 305 HP.
5000# towing capacity, 500# tongue weight
2 swivel seats up front
2 benches in the back make to a "queen-ish" bed...about 72" on the pass side, 76" long on the drivers side.
takes shore power or onan gas genny ( these can be loud), 2 way fridge ( LPG AC, DC)
LPG hot water heater and furnace
Has a head, 2 sinks ( head/galley) 2 burners ( LPG- 10 gallons) carries about 27 gallons fresh water...11 gal black, 27 gal grey.
Has aisle shower ( we don;t use) has outdoor shower- cleaning fish and washing off boots
A/C & microwave take either shore power or genny
really happy with the chev chassis and the PW build quality
this is really easy to drive, gets about 16 mpg at 65 MPH.
My wife has "soloed" a week at a time to California no problems.
Of interest, Culver City doesn;t allow any vehicles over 21 feet street parking ( day or night), we are just under that.
interior space...hanging closet behind driver's seat, 3 x over heads in the rear. some drawers under the rear seats
suggest that youtube has great videos from dealers, manufacturers and owners of many models, easy to picture yourself.
IF you are tall, that takes out most of the "sideways sleeper" models
the PW and Roadtrek are both Canadian Built and have great reps for customer service- the RT Pop 3rd seat can come out but you'll be hard pressed to use that space at the 3rd door- that becomes the main entry when docked.
I find the RT's tend to have more cabinet space ( esp over the feet when in bed) BUT I find the layout claustro. the PW is far more "open".
I saw units with "power rear sofa beds"- my take...weight- they are heavy, complicated and little storage available underneath...and conversion to bed requires tetrising a bunch of odd shaped cushions into place.
