24' Class C owned for two years-single retiree. 3rd RV behind a 25' trailer and 17' class B. They all had their plusses, but the 24' C is the best overall compromise.
My travel falls into two categories: Long vacation caravaning with friends-hundreds or thousands of miles. Or frequent shorter vacations to the beach or local areas.
I got tired of hitching up the trailer for an overnighter at the beach. I also got tired of backing it in alone in crowded conditions or at night-then unhitching. I found I did not use it as much as I'd like.
For me the short 24' C, toadless (or with motorcycle trailer) is best compromise. It is my camping kit in a vehicle. Twist the key and go. My intention is to keep it at least ten years.
