Some Noob questions
Good day, all. DW pretty much shot down the idea of a truck camper so looking at other alternatives to our 40ft 5th wheel. Me, DW, and 10 and 12 year old girls. Been looking at motorhomes. Got...

DazedNConfused my DW and had a 24ft Class C, we often took one of the Gandkids
with us for weekend trips some lasting three and four days. I'm here to tell
you it was tight even with doing the cooking and eating outside most of the
time and not staying in the coach. Since we did not have a toad I had to pack
up everything every time I wanted to go someplace and it was a real Pain.
As far as the OP saying it was easy to park when going to town I have to
disagree. I have driven semi's with doubles for a number of years before I
retired, finding a place to park in a town or shopping center can be a pain
in the ^%^&^&%. If you think parking your 5th wheel is hard in a parking lot
be set to find out your no better in a class C. You still have to park out in
the north forty and then people will park almost every time next to the side
doors making it almost impossible to get in at times almost the same as with
your 5th wheel. The DW and I traded off a real nice Class C with less than 40k
miles in it to a 33ft 5th wheel and have not looked back. We now have our own
bedroom and do not sleep almost on top of the grandkids, I can get up make
my coffee and do not have to trip over the DW or the Grandkids making it
outside to sit in my chair or at the pinic table. We had no storage in the
Class C and stored BQ in shower along with sweeper, we now have way more
storage than we need and love it. So you may have lots of storage now and feel
good about it, but even if you cut 50 percent of what you use now you will
not have room for what you think you need... I think you should test drive
a Class C for a week or two and see if you can live within it before you jump
to one,I truely believe you will find out it's closer and tighter than you
really think, good luck !
