Hi,interested in a Thor 22b, forest 2250 variant or 210rs and thinking maybe the sunseeker 2500ts
Hopefully I can explain my situation and listen to your thoughts?
We have 2 class c rvs, a large diesel fun mover 39c and a starflyte 21 footer. Wife is not able due to health reasons to do the hard core off roading we used to so she's agreed to cut loose the fun mover and her razor.
For some time I've taken the starflyte with a dirt bike on back for short trips or trips with friends to ride. This summer the whole family piled into the starflyte 3 people and hit Glacier National Park. Took a ktm dual sport on back, had a blast. We encountered a lot of roads with 24 ft or less restrictions. Good thing starflyte short and glad didn't need a toad. What were tho was a bit cramped...we think an extra 3 ft or more and overhead bunk will do it. Questions?
1. How different are the 24 and 27 ft models to drive? My starflyte drives almost like on rails, we encountered 50+ mph winds and thunderstorms in Nevada and was fine, safe. Really, really enjoyed parking the starflyte at a trail first thing in the morning, having breakfast, hitting the trail, returning, feeding the crew and
Wife is real impressed with the livability of a larger c like the 2500ts and the privacy door, heated tanks and ability to tow our jeep. I think small is better, especially for easy use of rv to sight see. Thoughts?
2. Any tips on makes and floor plans is great. I haven't been too impressed with the Thor stuff I've seen, lots of poor quality and unfinished work, however reviews of theirs and Forest River indicate lots of small issues thor, couldn't find much on water leaks which I could for forest River. Any brands recommend ? Winnie didn't impress me much more and Jayco Redhawks had no vent in bunk.
3. Slides, any better, more reliable than our 2004 era fun mover?
It will be used, probably a lot, dirt bike trips with a bike hanging on rack off back, pull an occasional jeep or enclosed 4, 5000 lbs trailer and gear.
Thanks,
I think you answered your own question as to size. If a lot of the places you go already have a 24ft limit, then you'll have to give them up. Look for a 24ft so you aren't limited.
