Looking at entry level Class As.....
After thinking about it for a long time, I think our family is finally going to pull the trigger on getting an A class MH. We want to spend under $50K and want something right around 30 feet. We def...

We bought out 2010 Fleetwood Encounter 32bh last year and it has been wonderful. The Encounter line is the same as the Storm (Fleetwood was sued over the name and had to change it.) The Terra and Fiesta are similar too, just different floor plans available, I think.
If every spot were filled to capacity, it could sleep 11. Can't find that in a class A too often, nor do I want try to do that too often! It has a RV queen in back, bunk beds amidship, and a drop down bunk over the driver/passenger seats that is bigger than a residential queen (rated at 500lbs). The rear bunks also fold down/set up to make a rear table and seats w/belts for 2.
We have 6 in our family (11 y.o. triplets and a 6 y.o.) and have taken a 2 1/2 week trip in it and felt there was enough room for all to coexist happily for that time frame.
The previous owners had done quite a bit of aftermarket suspension parts and it rides nicely. For the amount they put into it we got it for a steal!
The advice about waiting for the right one is very true. We took 6 to 9 months and almost bought another rig. The dealer couldn't prove the refrigerator was working correctly and I walked off the lot. As I was driving back to the airport (we live in the S.F. Bay Area flew to Vegas to get the MH) the wife called and said she found one near LA and it looked really good. Rental car company let me drop off in Burbank for no extra $ and I drove 6.5 hours to check it out. It was perfect! 2 weeks later we met at a bank half way between LA and SF and signed the papers. Good things come to those who wait! Couldn't be happier.
Good luck with your hunt! Just wait, the right one will appear.
