You have to choose what is right for you. What’s your price range? First things first, pick a floor plan. Pick one you like, that works for you and what you plan on doing. Then figure out how you will use it. Weekends, weeks at a time, etc. You say “travel” but that’s pretty vague. How long and how far? If you plan on going on trips longer than a week, then I would agree with some here that a 28’ coach will get too small fast. If you are doing weekends then it may work. If you are travelling far, you may want to consider something bigger and heavier for a better ride. Small, entry level coaches (Storm, ACE, 26HE, Vegas etc) are really geared toward the weekend warrior market. They don’t ride nearly as comfortable for long days in the saddle and have little in the way of long term living space and tank capacities. So, you need to figure out what you plan on using for and trim your search to a coach that fits your needs, not pick a coach and wonder if it will work. There are TONS of coaches, new and used, that will fit what you want in a floor plan , ride, size etc. We love our ACE, it suits our needs. But the longest trips we take are a week at a time and we typically don’t travel too far except maybe one trip South per year. I can tell you, if we were able to take more trips further away and longer than a week at a time, a small DP would be at the top of the list.
