We live in the DC area. Several years ago we started kicking around the idea of buying a RV. We had been tent campers. My wife wanted a class B. I knew from my parents RVing and our camping preferences that I would have to do some explaining to get a class C.
I went to a few dealers near by to explain the differences between the C and B. This was good for both of us as there are some very good reasons in favor of the B. Once I knew we wanted a "C" (your are already there), I went to local shops, and talked to friends that owned RVs. I strongly suggest going to the Hershey show. I learned a lot there. We often camp in places where we need to bring water so CCC was important to us. I worked in a place with no windows all my life so I wanted at least some nice windows for when we were locked in on a rainy day. We had been camping in a backpacking tent packed into a 99 Toyota Van so we were not to worried about size or floor plan. Anything was going to be an improvement. That said we had to have enough room for us, our grown daughter who often visits, and our two dogs whose presence was increasingly more important to the new empty nesters.
I wound up with a used Lazy Daze. I flew to Southern CA and drove home with it. It was a great trip. If you buy something that far away get it inspected.
