Did you buy it?
Not yet...im close,,,drove it to my pole barn today to make sure it would go in the driveway ok and it did, plenty of height room and width room going in the door too...
I think this is the one for us and the price seems fair - Mile_HighExplorerDid you buy it?

Look at the tank capacities especially fresh water if you plan on visiting NP's,Sp's etc with out hookups. Storage is another concern, will you be able to store all your stuff in those small cut out storage bays? Are there any pass tru storage bays for storing stuff like tables,a ladder,etc? It really depends on how you camp and where you want to camp and what you want to take with you to enjoy your camping experience. Check the CCC you should not have a problem there also that MH should have plenty of performance on mountain roads. Check how it handles, some shorter MH's with short wheel bases can be difficult to drive and some drive OK. Good luck in your search.
Let’s hear some thoughts ??
Yea tank sizes are great for the two of us, the storage compartments are very nice, huge pass thru in the rear, he has tons of laddrs, tables, chairs, rugs etc and is leaving everything, tons of inside storage too..it drives like a car,,,one year old coach batteries (2) brand new cranking battery.He is leaving all the ext cords, sewer pipes, water hoses, cable tv stuff, two nice flat screens, all dishes and silverware...everything..I was going to try and offer him less than the 40k he is asking but I don't think I will, he has every single pc of paperwork that goes with it...
80 gallon fuel tank,60 gallon fresh water,43 gallon black,38 grey,18 gallon propane,3 leather captains chairs...
Sounds like it's what you're looking for, so let's get to writing that check, before it's too late and your postings will be about ….could've, should've..., rather than with questions about your new coach. - luberhillExplorer

Let’s hear some thoughts ?? - vjstangeloExplorerWe have a 2012 Winnebago 32k and are very pleased with the build. We have had problems, but this has been with the systems such as the AC units, not with the build of the chassis.
Winnebago has great service after the sale, even after the warranty has expired. I have called the service department and they always contact me back. - luberhillExplorerYea I know, I see pros and cons for both,,,,having the TT makes sense because I have a full size truck and would be able to use the truck to drive after dropping the TT...I don't want to buy another car to tow behind the MH which is why we were looking at short ones

wonder if any here have gone from a MH to a TT and why ? Again I have a 4x4 F150 V8 truck already so that's why im thinking MAYBE a TT...but I know ill need a generator, ill have to exit the truck to enter the TT, less maintenance on the TT, uggggg....decisions
Your lifestyle should be able to dictate your needs and for making this type of decision.
Exp.... years ago when still working and having young children, we had a TT and made a couple of vacatioin trips a year, where we sat until it was time to go back home. The rest of the time, the TT was left in the mountains by a river and where we would spend some weekends.
Now retired and doing some traveling, with many times not staying in the the same CG, two nights in a row, having a Class A is a no brainer and wouldn't think of having a pull behind of any sort, ever again. - luberhillExplorerwonder if any here have gone from a MH to a TT and why ?

They are all good and they are all bad. If it has the floor plan you like, reasonably priced and clean...go for it.
I think that is the best advice you will get here.
There are many makes of Motor Homes from low end Gassers to big diesel pushers with million dollar PLUS price tags.. But for the most part there is not a lot of difference.. Oh the high end have additional features and comforts and diesels can both haul and tow more "Stuff" (People. clothing, tools) Fit and finish tends to be better on the high end and leather instead of fabric interiors and such.
But the floor plan is all important.
And one suggestion.. IF you plan to travel very far. (Say more than 100 miles from home) and don't want to spend a fortune on bottled water (I use a PUR filter. used to use a Brita but it did not bounce and the Thrift I was working at had a Pur on the shelf so I bought it). Get a bath and a half model.
Because as we all know.. how long a Minute is.. Depends entierly on WHICH side of the door you are on.
