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...

"A 27 foot Class C will be able to fit into almost all RV park and forest service campsites. If you are concerned about requently fitting into paralell car parking spots in malls etc., a shorter rig might suit you better. All Class C's are really too wide to fit standard car spaces. Towing a car has it's own disadvantages re complications in parking and manuevering in gas stations, etc.
Buying a short Class C for parking ease and then towing a vehicle doesn't make sense to us although people who are social group camper/tourers seem to go that way. A class C can be disconnected from campsite hookups and driven into town, in a few minutes. If you want to tour Boston or San Francisco or other no-RV area, you can rent a car there or take a shuttle bus to tourist areas, take tour bus, etc. Plan ahead"
All true. We downsized from 32' Class A to 25' Class C several years ago, but I kept the option of towing our Jeep. We like boondocking, and also do a share of winter camping. Once we get in to a remote site and set up, I much prefer having the jeep for going into town, touring around, driving up to remote lakes on fire roads, driving past snowline, etc. Even at 25', I chose the Ford E450 chassis so that I can tow without a power problem. We take many trips without the toad, but I like having the option.
