Well,the op has owned a 23 ft Class C in the past for almost a year so he already knows what he should be looking for.He did not mention here that he intended to tow his Mazda car with his $10K choice..My advice on that is..Make sure it has a transmission cooler...
This is part of another post in another section by the op.
1. A 21-23 foot Class C or Class A. No towed vehicle (I think the smaller RVs would be total slugs and get about 0.7 mpg when towing anything heavier than a helium balloon).
2. A larger C or A, possibly with a towed vehicle. Not ridiculous combined length, hopefully.
3. A really small Class C, like a Toyota (cheap), or a Class B (expensive, to me, ridiculously so for what you get)
4. A pickup truck like a Ford Mastodon or a Chevy Manhood, happily towing a fifth wheel until the day when a 60 mph crosswind hits and I die in a tangle of wreckage by the side of the interstate.
5. Smaller towing vehicle, like a RAV4, and a teardrop-style minimalist trailer (not nearly as cheap as I think they ought to be).
My budget is about 30K to spend, and I make about 4K a month. My existence tax (medical and other insurance, baksheesh to the gummint) is about 1K a month, so I could afford some version of all of the above options. I just can't decide on which is best.
The only thing I will say about a small Class C and power to pull is just common sense..A 460/454 will have more power in a 21ft than anything larger and heavier and 9 MPG is 9MPG,not really that bad for towing except for diesels maybe.
I'm done with this one.
Well I too decided to see what else the OP was posting, and found posts about his Mazda 3 and about how no one makes a hitch for it and it cannot tow anything. He needs to look around on the net some more, google is his friend. (this was in reference to towing the dolly short distances).
The basis of this thread is a good to ask question, but the OP is holding his cards too close to his chest. I too will give up on this one.
