I would certainly lean toward the RS. It would certainly lend itself more to a family of five with its seating and the view out of its windows.
Riding comfort for passengers in the RS also be a plus. Roadtrek seats are very comfortable, especially with the faux leather.
Again, the downsides would be limited storage due to the much smaller cabinetry, smaller fridge and the placement of the microwave. The toilet space is also smaller.
Thank you Dave!
My line of thinking on choosing the CS over the RS: CS has a bigger fridge - good for family or with the fellas during tailgating (where beer storage comes at a premium).
Yes, the RS has a 4th option for a sleeping arrangement. Thoughts here are I would be pitching a tent anyways on a campground. So the extra 4th is nice, but unnecessary.
In the event of bad weather, where we all have to sleep in the CS. Adult and 2 kids in the back (yes it could be sardine-ish, but can work), one on the front bed, and yours truly on a makeshift bed on the aisle.
Have you looked at Mike Wendland's newsletter at mwendland@me.com , Your RV Lifestyle Newsletter?
He has links to his blog, Roadtrekers on Facebook, etc.
I understand your point. Utility against comfort. Kids are resilient, too and you certainly are not our age (80+ and still Rving)where comfort is paramount!
If you do go with Roadtrek, be sure to weigh the propane generator against the engine mounted generator and the 4 battery option. We have the engine mounted and 4 batteries which allows us to overnight hookup free with power to spare. Driving the next day recharges.
