Greetings FriendsWe have been camping in a truck camper for 14 years and have loved it, but it is time to move to a larger unit. We have been at a dozen RV shows in the past year or two but are still looking for the "dream".We are looking for a Class C that is not more than 26 feet long (in actual length - not "advertised length") as we want to do the Alaska Ferry and they hammer you on price if your unit is an inch over 26 feet. We want a "north -south walk around bed". We would prefer a unit that has driver / passenger seats which can be swiveled to add seating. Other features are negotiable.Our camping buddies have a brand new Coach House Platinum II which meets the above description very well, but I don't have $185,000 to spend so I am looking for other options.Suggestions?Happy Camping!

If you want the specific length be sure and take a tape measure. Only way to be sure. We have a 30 footer with 2 slides. At less than about 28 ft. you usually have to give up something; a walk-around bed, a dinette or a couch. Good luck.

This is the smallest that we could find with 2 slides and a walk-around bed. Also has a 6 speed transmission and a two year warranty.http://www.jayco.com/products/class-c-motorhomes/2017-redhawk/26xd/Also, we didn't want a rear slide, because we use a hitch mounted bike rack.

Thanks Logans. I think the unit you mentioned is more like 28 feet than 26 feet. The Alaska Ferry people are like the IRS and FBI combined when it comes to measuring length. I need to stay under 26 feet no matter what!But I appreciate the help and advice.

Our View has an advertised length of 24 ft. We can actually fit 4 adults and 2 children in, and it has one slide.How many people do you need to accommodate?
