Shorter Class A with 80" long bed without slide extended

Have you seen a shorter Class A with a floorplan like below? The floorplan below is a Class C Leprechaun 260QB. Unfortunately it is not available as a new retail unit -- it is only available used after having been a rental.

So I'm going through websites trying to see if there is a Class A with similar floorplan: Under 30', 80" long bed available without opening slide, cab-over bunk, decent seating. A walk-around queen would be OK too as long as it is 80" long.




Thank you!
  • These two look pretty good. The 30T looks nice, just getting a bit longer at 31'.



  • I like the Thor Axis/Vegas in the 24.1. Look at the rear bunks. 2 singles or make it into a king

    Agreed. We looked at that exact floorplan a couple of years ago...the kitchen is unuseable with the slide in, including all upper and lower cabinets. Even with the slide out, the kitchen felt as if it was really an afterthought to the design, with very little useable counter space and the ability for only one person at a time doing any food prep. Also awkward to get to the fridge. While it did indeed have nice seating for a class C, the horrible (IMO) kitchen layout was a total deal breaker for us.
  • This Thor Axis/Vegas 25.4 is pretty close. Unfortunately the bunk over cab is a little too small for us.

    Good Luck on your search, as you're probably finding out, short Class A's are not very common.

    Prefer new, but would look at lightly used. Appreciate the opinion on floorplan. The sink is workable because you can reach it OK with slide in, but I did not think about the stove top next to the sofa. Thank you for that.
