Think carefully about buying a short rig vs a slightly longer 27 foot rig with rear bedroom and RV queen bed. The 27 footer is has slightly smaller turning radius but handles much the same on the open road as a short rig. No reason a woman can't drive and maneuver a 27 foot rig. Many grow to hate sleeping in the overhead or uncomfortable jackknife sofa, etc., once novelty wears off. Hard to get out of bed in the dark without waking up your partner and climbing down and back up ladder in the dark, especially If you have bad knees or tender feet, etc. All Class C's are usually the same width and height, regardless of length. Gas mileage is about the same. With a 27 footer you get considerably more cargo and cabinet space, easier to keep clutter under control and find things.
On the other hand. We have 65K and 11 years on a 24ft with no tow.
Each has his own thoughts on likes and dislikes but.
A 24 is a lot easier to find parking, for say at a restaurant, parking lot, or small town than a 27.
And number two, why is it so important for a long married couple to sleep in the same bed while on vacation? I sleep up top, DW on the dinette. Both are very comfortable, and we kind of both like it. I can go to bed earlier, she can read an so on. And we each kind of have our own space. And, no fixed bed opens up a lot more living space
on the interior, for things other than sleeping. Just us though, too each his own.
