Need some help?

I've been combing these forums and others until my eyes are crossed. I am trying to locate a class C that meet several parameters but am not having much luck, so I was hoping for some help.

I am looking for a small Class C, less than 25', no slide, with a permanent bed (but 2 separate sleeping areas), a dinette, and most importantly a comfortable chair (recliner).

I love the Phoenix 2350 (but not the price). I have also looked at the Nexus 23P (they can accommodate a custom build but I would lose the dinette).

The class C also has to be newer than a 2008 (financing requirement - they also want less than 60K in miles).

Other than a few Thor products (I am trying to avoid Thor) which have a small barrel chair, is there anything else out there?
  • If you are a beginning RV'er, reconsider the length/floor plan. Many are intimidated with the thought of driving a longer rig. A 3-foot longer 27 footer with rear bedroom and RV queen bed is almost the same to park, drive and handle, but much more comfortable to camp in. IMHO slides are nice but can have electro-mechanical and water leak problems.

    Definitely willing to settle for the barrel chair as long as I can replace it. :)

    "They" just don't make 'em like they use to! :(

    The chair? Not a deal breaker.
    Perhaps to replace it to meet YOUR requirements.


    Nice! I could replace the barrel chair with the recliner. Almost exactly what I was looking for!

  • I doubt if you will find an RV that exactly meets all of your specifications. You will probably have to settle for close, then make the changes you require.
  • Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen the Trend but the seats are not comfortable.

    I like the Minnie 22R but no recliner. If I could have the Minnie 22R with Euro recliners instead of the dinette, that would work nicely. The larger Minnie is just a bit too long.
