Moving to Class C from TT Need Guidance
Okay folks, I have been an RV'er since 2010 now on my second TT. I love the TT but have decided I wanted some convenience a MH brings. SO, I just bought and will take delivery of a 2017 Minnie Winnie ...

Four and half years ago we went from out 22' TT to our current 24' Class C. We were ready to start taking longer trips {as in Coast to coast} and I did not want to shlep a trailer that far. I don't think you will have much of an adjustment, if it worked in the TT it will, perhaps with a little modification, work in the C. Yours is quite a bit bigger than mine so be very aware of tail swing, especially in the beginning. Gas stations will require extra vigilance at least initially.
I have a spare sewer hose that fits nicely in our square rear bumper but beware of loading anything heavy on the bumper. Bicycles, storage bins, and spare tires do not do well as the leverage they exert can quickly overcome most Class C bumpers.
Get your rig weighed ASAP as closely loaded to a real trip scenario and then adjust your PSI according to the tire manufacturers load table for the load they will actually be under. Your coach should not need an alignment but if you have any handling issues after getting the PSI right you may want to have it checked. Don't be in a hurry to run out and buy a lot of aftermarket junk to improve the ride/handling or performance. You should be good to go with a quality coach like your Winnie.
As for Toad or no Toad it all comes down to how and where you will use your new coach. My 24 fits just about anywhere so we never needed one. That said, I now often tow my Harley, not for Toad duty but because it is so much fun to ride in the many wild and wonderful places we visit.
Renting a car is certainly another option that works well in some locations and not so much in others.
As always... Opinions and YMMV.
Good luck!
