Questions before buying first C class!

Ditto on the above. I think a lot of the other stuff is overkill. If your going camping with 5 kids, your going camping, your not living in it per say. Part of the fun is learning how to do things. If it needs tires or new house batteries I would adjust the price accordingly and get them myself. I then know what I have and the quality of what I have. If someone else does it you know they will get the cheapest they can find. Pretty much any place you go can accommodate a 31'er and if they cant you don't go there. Good luck

I agree in part. I agree that it's better to buy the tires and batteries yourself (or as I suggested on the battery, ask the dealer to replace it for your preferred choice).

In regards to learning how to do things, I agree in part. There will always be a learning curve with doing things in an RV. But knowing in advance that the older kids can't sit at the dinette playing cards in the evening because the little ones need to sleep on it can help prevent the "after one season we're selling our RV for a different one because it doesn't work for us". Personally, I'd rather measure twice and buy once.

In regards to the "if they can't you don't go there", I think it's better to pick your RV according to the places you want to go, than to pick the places you go according to your RV. In my mind, the RV is the method, the campgrounds are the end result - if you don't get the end result you want, then your method is wrong.
