Which diesel rig would you purchase?
We have had an Itasca Suncruiser for about 16 years. Actually we are on our third one in that time frame. This last one has about 70,000 miles on it so we do use it, it is a 2005. We want to mo...

Agree lots of good advice, and each of us will ultimately choose based on how each priorities ($, type of camping preferences, mfr reputation and more). Our two finalist mfr were Winnebago and Tiffin. First Rv we ever owned was a used 2001 WBG Winnie Class C 27P had absolutely no problems even though 12 yr old, 70k. We traded for a 2013 WBG Journey 36M because we wanted more space before going on long trips.
One thing Dw wanted was a Res. Refrigerator (our 36M has 3 door Res Ref - just like home!). But, we plan to stay mostly in campgrounds, do not see ourselves boon docking much if at all.) Our MH also has 6 house batteries, and 2800 watt inverter (needed w res ref.). So if you look at Res. Refrigerator be sure you have enough batt & inverter sized for it.
But, there are Pro's for Rv refrigerator if your family wants more camping location "options" (off-
grid, BLM, etc) an RV refrigerator (LP & elect) may be a better choice?
Also, check lengths of state, Nat'l park limits if you plan to stay there (some limited to 34' ). FYI we considered WBG 34B too for that reason, but 34B only had 5k tow wt. So we went with 36M and have 10k tow wt (gives more options for size toads) and still should "fit" in some state, Nat'l park campgrounds okay.
Don't know if anyone talked tow wt, type of refrigerator pro, con yet. This is just our two cents and your mileage may vary :-). BTW - we love the 36M Journey! I bet you will make a good choice based on your goals, too! Wishing you Good luck, and happy times!
