New to Class C

We have just bought a Jayco Melbourn 29D and have never owned a C MOHO.
Any insight or info would be appreciated.

  • Take it out for test drives. Head out to a state a park and practice backing into and out of pads. Go into open parking lots if a park is out of reach, just get a good feel of how things work and acclimate yourself to you rig. When I bought mine this fall I even took it on errands and short trips here and there to get the feel of it.
  • Along with what Desert Captain said, also keep in mind how tall the vehicle is. In a class C it can be a bit deceiving because the actual roof is a few feet above the ceiling of the cab.
  • If it is on a Ford E450 and if you think you may have handling issues make sure you bone up on alignments, specifically the topic of front end caster.
  • Watch out for steep driveways as the rear end will tend to drag. Take them at the widest practical angle possible. When making sharp turns keep in mind that the tail end will be swinging out in the opposite direction. You'll get used to both pretty quickly.
