Non cabover class c rv's

We're shopping for our first rv and want one without the cabover feature. We like lots of the features of the itasca navion iq including the more aerodynamic front. Anyone have any advice about other rv's similar in design?
  • Have a look at Leisure Vans. They have a model with a Murphy Bed that is a full residential queen size and a large bathroom across the back with a big residential style shower. Over the cab is storage cupboards.
  • Not all Class C cabover bed area measurements and logistics are the same.

    Ours is less of a climb to get up into because it is closer to the cab floor due to the coach being a basement design. This also means that I can just about sit upright in the cabover bed, too. I'm over 71 years young, about 6'2", and use it all the time. ;)
  • If it were just me and the wife, we would look at the B+. The only reason we have the C is for the cabover bed for our daughter. Some couples get the smaller C's where the only bed is the cabover. More power to them. I prefer to be able to sit up and not hit my head....lol
  • We have a cabover but took out the bed and use it for storage of light items like bedding, dry food, extra clothes. our backpacking gear, etc. Use a set of rubbermaid bins across it. Can access contents from the front of the bins or pull them down. Works great and gives us a lot of extra storage.
  • I was looking for the same thing. we decided on a Itasca Cambria. If you go on a website like RV Trader you can shop the different models available. This is our first motorhome also and didn't see the need for the

    overhead bunk. Selling my toy hauler for that very reason, knees can't take the climbing. Sooo nice to walk in the back and just plop into bed.
  • Saw one called B+ or somthing made up. It had a cab over, kind of, but cupboards and entertainment center is installed instead of bunks. Which would have been my choice. Getting too old to climb up in cab over bunks. Can't remember brand.
