Might be looking to buy new or used Shorter Class A - 24 to 27' maybe. But needs to be high enough (not low rider) to be taken boon docking/gravel/some dirt roads...but not 4x 4 obviously.Would like a king or two twin bed. Any ideas? NOT diesel as hubby needs to be able to work on it.

More importantly is the size of the fresh water tank and holding tanks for boon docking. Our old 32H Bounder has 100 gallons of fresh water and 2 50 gallon waste tanks. We're good for 7-10 day before we have to dump.Richard

In the "for what it's worth" category, my insurance has a clause that specifically states the rv is not to be driven off a paved or serviceable road surface more than 50'. Any damage - to anything - as a result would be a denied claim. Pretty much most manufacturers make a small Gas class a 26-27'. Most are on the F53 with 19" wheels. Not sure if that would manage where you plan to take it. Smaller A's like the Vegas are on the E450 chassis with 16" wheels.

If he is going to treat it like an all terrain vehicle, he will be fixing it!
