I am retiring in a couple of years and am thinking about buying a class b rv. I am single so I will be traveling alone or with a couple of friends. I would like to get something easy to drive and able to park on the street if necessary. I was looking at the ones 20'-23'. My top picks so far are the Rialta, CS Adventurous, Era or Travato, and Airstream. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
We love Cape may and we are teachers as well. Listen I will give you some advice in looking for a B plus class Rv. We recently just upgraded from a Trailer to a B plus with a single slide. If you look on the net their are used B plus units that are sound and dry and have low mileage. We got a 2004 BT cruiser modle 2790 with 25,000 miles on it, it was well taken care of and got it for 1/3 the price as a new one for 30k. I did some upgrades to it and removed carpet and laid hard wood flooring and cleaned and compounded outside. You can have that done for not so much if needed as well and still save 10s of thousands verse a new unit. Now it looks new in and out and I saved a lot of money just searching for months till I found a suitable unit. You may enjoy having a bedroom area as we really do and the b Plus coach are about a foot lower than a C class and are easy to drive and park. They range for 23 ft with pullout sofa to 28 that can sleep 4. I get about 12mpg verse these new diesels at 18mpg but the new ones cost close to 100k so what do you really save verse spending 30 k used for that 4 more mpg? Its like driving a big van, last year we parked fine in a small seaside town up in Maine and if we choose to pull a car it has the power to do that as well. On a Ford 450 Chassis. plenty of room to be comfortable in at the same time not a super big unit best of both worlds. We plan on full timing in a few years in it and is why we bought it last year that is unless Gov. Christy messes with our teacher pensions some more here in NJ. Take your time look and drive. The Fords E450s really hold up well with minimal mechanical problems so you should have years of service.
