Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

As perhaps someone already has mentioned, those low-slung Class B+/C motorhomes have poor exterior storage. What exterior storage bays they do have are not very tall, so not much anything of any size can be put into them. To get better height in exterior storage bays takes a bit of a basement type design - IAW a taller roof height.
By the way, a bit taller roof height is kindof OK if the RV isn't narrow on it's track width. That's why the Ford E450 cutaway van chassis provides such great stability for Class C motorhomes of all heights - it has a wide rear axle stance (wider than the Ford E350 chassis). For instance, I believe that Lazy Daze Class C motorhomes may be built excusively on the E450 chassis. Combined with their moderate overall vehicle height - that wide E450 stance should provide superb side-to-side stability. Be that as it may - look closely in person or at photos to note the Lazy Daze exterior storage bays - not very impressive looking for storing much stuff due to the RV's low roof height.
