Hi! My wife and I have been campers since our kids were little. We started in a tent, then popup, then travel trailers. Now that we are empty nesters we are thinking of getting our first Class C. We are looking at used, but want good quality and decent comfort. We want to spend less than 55k.Here are some features we want:Walkaround bed, queen or two twinsEnclosed bathroom with shower, not shower in the hallBed over cabSlides would be niceShorter would be better as we want something maneuverable thats easy to driveWe have a Jeep Wrangler that was want to toad tow, its about 3500lbs I thinkWe really like the Jayco Redhawk 23xm. Its small but has most of the features above. We found a used one almost in our price range. But I thought maybe you folks could suggest some alternatives!

Around $55,000 you're in the price range of new smaller Class Cs. They might not have all the bells and whistles in that price range, but they are new. As an example.http://rv.campingworld.com/searchresults?rv_type=motorized&condition=new&subtype=C,BP&custompricerange=true&sort=featured_asc&zipsearch=true&search_mode=advanced&locations=FTM,DCW,COC,KS,TPA,WGA

To get a rear bedroom with RV queen bed with access on both sides you will probably need at least 27 foot rig. This length has considerably more storage and cabinet space than 22-24 foot rigs plus much better sleeping setup. My opinion, a 27 footer is the ideal size for a mature oouple and a dog. Don't be overawed by a 3 feet longer rig, and decide later that need a longer rig with rear bedroom and more storage and cabinet space. Consider buying a 3-4 year old rig and save initial depreciation etc. of a new rig. Each brand has entry level and more luxurious models and different floor plans/lengths.

I think I we could totally handle 27ft.

Big Canoe, my suggestion would be the Jayco Redhawk Model #23X2 - 27'2" with full queen bed. About $60K thru. RVdirect. $5K more than you want to spend, but I feel it is well worth the extra bucks. See it at jaycorv.com. or rvnetlinx.com, click in manufacturers, scroll on down to jayco. Bags.
