SHORT CLASS A WITH WALKAROUND BED

FIRST TIME BUYER LOOKING FOR A SHORT CLASS A THAT HAS A WALK AROUND QUEED BED AND IF POSSIBLE A TOILET SEPERATE FROM THE SINK AND SHOWER/TUB. WE ARE AN OLDER COUPLE AND DO NOT NEED A LOT OF HIGHER END FEATURES, JUST A NICE EASY DRIVE AND LIVABILITY FOR MAYBE A TWO WEEK TRIP. MY PRICE RANGE WOULD BE UNDER $20,000. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL REPLIES.

  • It depends on what you mean by short.

    2004-2006, maybe longer, but I was shopping those years, Fleetwood had a 27-foot model (26Y) in their entry level Fiesta/Terra lines that had a bed open on three sides, but the bathroom was all one room. It was short because it did not have a living area, just a dinette in the kitchen space.

    If "short" covers 30-32 feet, in the same era you will find FourWinds Hurricane, Coachmen Mirada, and Damon Daybreak models in that length range (model names with numbers like 29 and 30) that have the walk around bed, kitchen separate from living area, sofa and dinette, with maybe one lounge chair, and a walk through bathroom that puts shower on one side of aisle, sink and stool in a small room opposite, and a door to close off the whole area from the foward part of the coach.

    At this length you'll probably find the arrangement in other models, but I know only what I looked at and was shopping entry level to fit a 30 foot parking space. You'll find the same plan in a C at 29-32 feet, model numbers 28 to 31. It is typically the largest size C in rental fleets, and the most popular with families, so there are always a lot of them on the used RV market. The A gasser in this size is less easy to find, unless you go back about 20 years to when smaller motorhome were preferred by more buyers.
  • We have an '02 32-ft Georgetown that has a "walk-around" queen size that's in the bedroom slide-out. In reality it's a "shuffle-around" as the gap between the foot of the bed and the wardrobe cabinets is only about 9" wide when the slide is deployed!

    It works for us, though. When both our 70-pound + Labs want to share the bed, it's not very big!
  • How short is short for you? The Winnebago/Itasca 32T or 34H may satisfy your requirements.
  • I like the Rexhall 25 and 27 footers. And Fleetwood has a 26Y and 26Q.

    Something like this in an older model should be well under $20000.00 It does not have what you request regarding bathroom, but the rear bed is nice. 27' LOA
  • Look at Fleetwood Southwinds. My 29 foot has a walk around bed
  • Most Class A's shorter than 29' have a corner bed. My Triple E is 29', and has a walk-around queen bed, separate shower. But the shorter ones aren't any less costly than a longer one, usually.
  • Friend just bought a 2002 Winnebago Sightseer that is 31ft and has the exact floor plan you discribe-----This thing is in excellent condition, 20,000+ mi and he paid $15,000
  • If you want one just for a 2 week trip you would probably be better off to rent one. Don't know about the floor plans for the short ones. Maybe even a Class C would work for you. That may have a floor plan like you want also.
