Smoothest Ride under 35k

For two or three short local trips a DP is overkill. It will cost you more in the long run. A tag along is better for those. I have two Motorhomes and use then over half the year. Last year I was in them over 260 days. I also put on over 30k mikes a year plus. The kids wanted to get one and they go out three or four times a year and never more then 200 miles. I look at the cost difference between then and said wow. I. Know this is not what you want to here but if you are worried about a good deal on a DP and are so concerned on price the fridge on a 99 is beating the end of its life. That is 3k the tires will be another 3 and you will have to start watching your fuel lines for leaks. The radiators are another area of concern and that is about 6 k. The airbags are bearing the end of their service life too. You might get another few years as well. There is a reason it is cheaper but owning a DP is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. I have a highline coach. I have just replaced all but the airbags but are watching those. I try to do the big jobs before failure but at the end of the service life. The radiator was failing and needed to be recorded or replaced. I noticed it was running to warm and not cooling down fast enough. So, you can watch and read and research but it will not change the fact that running these machines costs money. My 24 foot class c has nowhere near the expenses that my diesel has had. It us not as comfortable or driven as far but if I could only have one I would still take the DP as I put on too many mikes for a gas motorhome. If I add the gas milage to my DP milage I am well over 400,000 miles.
