We are going to rent an RV in alaska and we have a choice of the follow two. Only a difference in 2 feet. Either a 22 or 24 foot. we will have it a week. (novice motorhome people!). But the layout is different and we are struggling (mainly because probably not a big difference) to us. It is just 2 (1 couple) traveling and we are short so the bed size is not a big deal. The biggest thing is one has a couch, the other doesn't.One has a bed in the back and one doesn't. Would love suggestions/pros and cons for the layout as I am sure you guys have more experience with the layouts.[img][/img][img][/img]In case the pictures do not come 22 Foot24 foot

Looks loike they both have couches to me? Some people like a 2 person bed some don't.You may find the 22 a little easier to drive. First 500 or so miles in a MH, is kind of a learning curve. Smaller one may be a little easier. End of day not much difference, as far as my experience.

2' will not matter... get the bigger one with the U shape dinette. Take a seven day cruise back for less than $70/day/person for a ocean view cabin. Too cold to use a balcony.

Hi,I'd go for the 24 footer. Rent a Uhaul before you go on the trip--that will give you a taste of driving a 24 foot vehicle. Backing into a campsite

Backing into a campsiteGreat idea on the UHAUL. we were going to try and find the exact models around to go look at them..but we think we really have seen them before (when we were looking at them to buy).Even thought about renting for a weekend if we found one..but haven't found one yet in the area to rent.SO it is just thinking it through on which one. Thanks for the ideas..keep em coming!FYI in case I didn't say it..$150.00 more (not significant, but 150.00 more) for the 24…but I don't think that would be the deciding factor..unless we can't decide :)
