Small Class C: Toyota Warrior or Jamboree Searcher?

You're welcome, Dan.

Thanks, Renee. I prefer the blue highways and seldom have a deadline, so speed is secondary to economy in my plans. I really appreciate you folks taking the time to chime in!

Just a note Dan, I live in the West and did when I had my Winnebago Warrior and although it took the grades slow, it was no slower than the gas Class A's.

Thank you for that reminder! Hills are a big part of life on the road here.

Dan,

I haven't owned a Toyota based motorhome, but I see that you live in the west and want to travel the west. Keep in mind those mountain grades and how easily you want to be able to drive in them. Most of the Toyota's that I pass are underpowered for the house the have built on top of them in my opinion. Also braking power for coming down those grades. Just something to think about.

LOL 5 drunk. Well, it's just me, so that part won't be a problem. :-) Thanks

Hi Dan, I used to own a 91 Toyota Winnebago Warrior. It was my first RV and perfect for my husband and I at the time. We were the second owners. The first owner would say it sleeps 4 adults sober and 5 drunk. We easily slept 4 adults often in it for weekend trips. It had great mileage and drove easily. We didn't have to work on it much since we bought it in 94. The only thing we ended up fixing was the heater. Sorry I can't tell you anything else about the logistics of working on it but I believe that your tools will be different, one metric and the other standard between the Toyota and Ford. I guess another point to consider would be the availability of parts.

Hey Dan--my name is Charlie and I am 70 years old. My wife and I full-time and have for the past 20 years. During that time we have owned 11 RVs from vans to large class A motorhomes. Three of the RVs were Toyota Class C micro-mini rigs. We think they are great, but there are sacrifices as well as advantages. If you want to talk/discuss, please PM me and I will give you a number to call.
