recommendations for class C for overnights at ski resort

TL;DR

Recommendations wanted for class C
- class C with bunk over cab
- 4x4
- no slide-outs
- fresh/gray/black/plumbing in the heated space

My local ski resort, Crystal Mountain, WA, has RV spots with electrical hookups. The road up to the area has some winding steep spots that can be tricky in the snow, and the parking lot gets icy as well, so I want 4WD. Ski gear takes a bunch of room, especially to hang out and dry overnight, and I haven't found a floor plan of a class B with enough room for two skiers and gear.

I'm looking for recommendations for a class C
- that is designed for continued exposure to cold mountain nights
- has 4WD, or lends itself to conversion by a company such as Quigley
- has no slide-outs (chipping frozen slush off the top of a slide-out at the end of the ski trip is no fun)
- has a cab-over bunk so that between the master bed and the cab-over, we don't need to convert the dinette to sleeping

Opinions?

Thanks in advance.

  • Imo, i think a truck camper would be your better option.

    Winnebago has a new 4x4 Ford transit that you could look into.

    I now have a class c 24’ with two QB’s.

    I have no idea how cold you could really use it with water, i have been down to 20F with it.
    My Ford E450 2018 has a limited slip rear , no 4x4. Would need a Quigley conversion.

    Sunseeker 2350
    All the water lines are within the heated cabin .
    It has heated pads on the holding tanks.
    It has a heat duct directly on the water pump.

    The freshwater tank is under the corner QB.
    The shower head , lines and valve are located on a heated interior wall.
    The heat gets under both sink cabinets.

    I have tested all those mentioned areas using a thermometer.
  • Continued cold weather in the teens? Difficult without constant monitoring. Easier if park potties are available.

    You aren’t required to extend slides on some RVs to use all the amenities, so put those back on your list.
