DW & I are looking at class As under 30'We would love to hear your thoughts. We are looking at used stuff that is local, but don't mind traveling to find the right unit for us. Top of our list at the moment are:2012 Fleetwood Storm 28F 20k miles2015 Itasca Tribute 27 14k milesAny suggestions or alerts?

I love my 2002 28 ft Safari Trek, mine is just like the one in this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqDAGm4LEJ0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqDAGm4LEJ0 though mine has a different mural on the back, note the salesman gets a number of details wrong (length, really 29'5" bumper to bumper, transmission, really 4L80E not Allison, ...)p.s. here is a link to an 03 that was for sale a few months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td2anHkSWN0

Interesting rig! and thanks for a speedy response.Our knees are pretty set on a full time bed with no climbing needed. :(I suppose I should mention that we just rented a Thor 29M for a week. We'd never driven a class A before and wanted some real world experience. The Thor really showed us their quality. Just the sway, steering wandering and noise on the road put us off the bottom end lines. We had our (now adult) kids along, and it was quite comfy although how much more of that will happen is debatable. Grand kids are a loooong way off!

The bed is a trade off, but the bed in the ceiling does give you nearly 7 ft of kitchen counter top space, and a bathroom where most people can't touch opposing walls at the same time (wall to wall is right at 6x6 ft)

Both units have very small storage bays if outside storage is important to you. Also fresh water capacity is also low if you want to visit NP's SP's etc without full hookups.

Make sure you take a nice long test drive. Every short Class A I drove I did not like how it handled. Might explain why they always had so few miles on them.
