Need advice on motorhome for touring band

You might also combine suggestions--perhaps a passenger van and a toy hauler? Then you could park temporarily near the venue to load and unload and take the passenger van back to park closely. The cool thing about toy haulers is the bunks they have in the back. Otherwise I like the class C with a couch, a sofa and bunks in the back. Financing a new something is easier than an old assuming you have the backing.
I've also seen Class A toy haulers but they are $$$$.
