So after 6 years in a Roo 23B we bought a Sunseeker 3017DS at the Hershey show, will not have it for about a month. So what I am looking for is some positive renforment. DW and I are a little nervous about going to a 32' rig from a TT. Does anyone have this rig and any tips on first time class C'rsThanks

Welcome, congrats on your purchase. We also looked the Sunseekers at Hershey and settled to trade our 29' Four winds on a Jayco 31'. Previous to our 29' we had a 30' fiver, and it wasn't much of a transition for me. Good Luck with the new one and enjoy many miles safely.Roy

Don't get too worried about driving a large vehicle. You are no longer or wider than the combined TV and trailer, and you have better control over the whole thing.You might think about whether or not you should tow a car or not. A lot depends on what type of RVer you are. If you are a "camper" you may not need a car. If a "traveler", you may find the 32'+ length is not too convenient to park when sightseeing or to explore with. Time will tell.

I also don't think there will be any issues with respect to driving the "C" versus towing a trailer.My guess is the major issue is the one mentioned by tenbear, your travel options once you get set-up at the campground. If you're not towing a car then you'll either have to disconnect sewer, water, electric or find transportation if you want to travel. This was the main reason my wife decided against get a "C" and went with a TT. We like to enjoy the campground while still having the freedom to explore.

We are three weeks into our first serious trip in our 24' Class C after four years with 22' TT. Our new C is much shorter than the OPs and we have no desire/need to tow. His new rig will take some getting used to, :Cwatch the driveways you choose to enter as the rear overhang can leave you stranded/hungup. Loading is important as well especially weight to the rear which can make the front end light and have serious adverse effect on steering.We love the change and ours fits just about any parking lot(out away from the crowd). Like I said, no need for the load of a toad. This is the easiest RV we have ever encountered, down any road, into any site but still has all the bells and whistles and 10 mpg. :C

I went from towing a 19' hybrid to a 29' class C. Driving the class C is easier, albeit I am not towing a car. The real advantage is the reduce set up time with the class C.
