Novice looking for an upgrade to Class C
New to RVing and looking for a Class C.
What models you are considering? Looking at something on the smaller end (22-25’) as drive ability and parking are important. We originally had experience with a Sunseeker on a Mercedes chasis, as our friends purchased a new one in summer 2019. Looked at very many at the Harrisburg PA show, but narrowed them down to Entegra Odyssey on Ford 350 and Chevy, and then Minnie Winnie also on Ford.
Lifestyle? We are 50s empty nesters who live in an urban loft apartment and only limited summer parking for camper/RV and then storage for winter. We have had a Intech Luna (Teardrop) for two seasons and really like it for size and some luxury. But, with our group that we camp with, 5-6 times per season, going to nicer RV parks, we’re finding the need for facilities a much greater issue. Originally were interested in Nest and keeping to a light towable behind a smaller Jeep. But increasing interest in much further travels beyond season to season camping is leading us to RVs.
How do you intend to use it? Both summer camping and 2-3 trips per year.
How many people? 2 mostly but on occasion another couple who will need some comfort.
Do you like to cook and have space, or do you like comfort on a couch? Couch is much less of an issue, but really so is cooking space. We’re outdoor folk and really enjoy the outdoor galley kitchen of the teardrop.
Do you need an overhead bed, or an entertainment center? Second bed for couple would be a good feature. Don’t need entertainment center, and kind of turned off by the outdoor TVs on many of the Class Cs, but also would need to add something to Nest when there are only plus and nothing installed.
Are you new to RV's? Yes, have only used a towable
We drove the Ford Chasis and it was so very truck like that it was a turnoff campared to Sprinter. Have heard just recently that Ford coming out with a new one for 2020. Will this be on the level of Merc. sprinter?
Advice from all of you Pros?
