Looky-lou -- Pleasure-way Lexor TD? Or?

My tiny dog and I go to Continuing Education conferences several times a year and I'm sick of crummy hotel rooms (like 1775, I too met bedbugs once. That was twice too many times for me!).

The Class B looks perfect for me -- my own snug little home on wheels. So far, I've seen the Pleasure-Way Lexor TD and like the twin beds. The other bed would be turned into more storage space. I'm sure there are other great floorplans in other models I just don't know about -- yet. Can you help?

I'd really appreciate suggestions on other gas-powered Bs with twin beds, and a toilet, not a porta-potty. Years ago we had a Ford-based Class C with wandering steering, and the mechanic kept saying "That's the way it's supposed to drive", so I'm leery about another Ford.

With a limited budget (I'm saving up for it right now), it's not going to happen tomorrow, and used is the only way I'll be able to go. And, I like to do my research and know a whole lot more than I do now before I'll feel comfortable about pulling the trigger on something this complex.

I'm looking forward to starting the conversation with all of you good folks. I'm impressed how helpful everyone is to newbies like me.

    I just bought an 07 Road Trek. I found that class B is more expensive than a class c. If you want to get the best price you might consider the small Class C's. Look at a few of them before you settle on a B. The pros of Class B is easy parking and storage and good gas mileage. I get 15 mpG on my 2007 Roadtrek P210, I don't know what those small Cs get for mileage but you might want to take that into account when you consider total price. Those diesel sprinter models get great gas mileage but they are extremely spendy. I wanted a diesel until I looked at the price the better diesel mileage just couldn't overcome the cost. I wish I had looked at a few more Class Cs, but I am happy with my Trek.

    Having just been very actively looking at new and used rv's I agree, class "C" models are the bargain at the moment. Prices are lower, floor plans more roomy. Fuel economy less, but it depends how important that is to you. $50 more fuel cost on a short trip might not matter. The Itaska Navion models are nice and some about 24 ft long and a variety of floor plans. We also liked that they are narrower than some class B's, making driving easier. There are lots of other short C's out there.
