Hurricane 34J vs Thor Super C vs. Tiffin Allegro . Opinions?

Good afternoon. My family and I have had our 5th wheel for 2 full seasons and have enjoyed camping in it. I was giving some thought into purchasing a motorhome. Our fiver is 40' long and has a bath and a half. The second bath is convenient, but we really don't need two bathrooms...and I could do without having to clean two black tanks every trip. Anyway....

I have been seriously looking at a few units:

Thor Hurricane 34J (has bunks and an outdoor kitchen)

Thor Super C 35sb (bunks, diesel, outdoor kitchen, much more torque than F53 chassis, twice as much towing capability)

Tiffin Allegro 35QBA (bunks, no outdoor kitchen...but it's a Tiffin! It's gorgeous!)

Wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these? The only motorhome I've ever driven was a Sunseeker on an E450 chassis....and it was an absolutely terrible ride. Tons of sway, bounce, and just not good. I have not driven anything on the F53, but am led to believe it's a lot better. Hoping to test drive the Tiffin and Hurricane this weekend.

Thanks in advance.

    We had a 2006 Hurricane 34N as our previous coach and enjoyed it very much BUT there is no comparison between it and a Tiffin.

Yes its gas but I tow our 2012 chevy cruze 4 down and still have the power I need. I know some models have the bunks if this is what you are needing and I would consider any model on a F53. We went from a 5th wheel to the class A and have not looked back. Hope this helps.


    Thank you. Yes...this is helpful. Lots of pros and cons to each. I'm going to try hard not to pull a toad...hoping we can rent a car most places we go. One benefit to the Super C is that (I still have to check) I think it can handle the 600lbs of tongue weight that my motorcycle and carrier will impose on it. The F53 with 5,000 lb hitch won't have enough tongue capacity. I think it's about 350lb. I would imagine that is not so much what the hitch can handle...but how much you are unloading the front end. Attached is a pic of how I tow my motorcycle so you can see what I'm talking about.
