Also claustrophobic here! We are on our fourth motorhome. We ended up with a Winnebago Vista LX 27N. It is short at a little under 29 feet but feels much larger inside. Has tons of inside and outside storage, a large bathroom, and plenty of kitchen counter space. We thought that the handling might be compromised on a short wheelbase but have been surprised at how well it handles.

X2 on the claustrophobic wife - we bought a 2012 Winnebago Journey 36M diesel pusher new back in 2011 - it is fantastic as the bed is not side ways - she can lay in bed and see all the way out the front window - this model was made from 2012 through 2017 in both Winnebago and Itasca Meridian

Wife and I are looking at small class A's. Class B and B Plus are to small for us. Plus wife is claustrophobic. Any suggestions? We owned 5 motorhomes,so we are not new to this. Had 1 class A, 4 class C's and now own a 35ft fifth wheel. Time to go back to motorized. Would appreciate any input you would have. Don't want another class C. What say you! Road Dog

Might I ask, what the time frame was for all these RV's?
A class A is the only way to go IMO and the bigger the better if you have a place to park it.

Two years ago we downsized from a 35' 5er to a 30' Thor ACE, at times we think we downsized to much but when all is said and done we are happy.

We are enjoying our Jayco Alante 26X. We downsized from a Diesel Pusher as we are more "campers" than an "RV Resort" type of family. The ride on the short Class A is rougher than our previous Class C and it is not as good as our Diesel Pusher with an Air Ride Suspension. But the 26X is comfortable enough for what we do. We pull our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to many of the places we go, it is noticeable on very steep grades, but we do ok with it back there. JH

31 foot 2005 Gulfstream. Drives easy, have lived in it for over 5 months at a time (just two of us) occasional overnight visitors with no problem. Just about right for us. Another couple of feet would be good.

Dog we have a 34bd 2001 Itasca and love it. Not too big and not too small just wright for the two of us.
