Thank you, everyone. Hearing your experiences has been very helpful. It's nice to know there are so many choices out there.
@Wishin': You're totally right about the CCC. I looked at a 2010 Winnie View over the weekend -- Sprinter chassis. It only had like 1,200 lbs of CCC -- and that was before any fluids in the tanks and such -- and that was dry pre options -- so you really don't get much left. But..with less space -- the theory is I'll have less stuff. With THAT said, my family of 4 will add 550 lbs to the right with just us -- so my guess is we would probably have less than 500 lbs remaining of CCC.
@DaCrema: Which class c do you have? Sounds like an interesting setup.
I've taken a strong liking to the Thor Hurricane bunk plan. But it's 35' and I was trying to stay shorter than that. One of the reasons I liked that was because it offers and outdoor kitchen. We cook almost every meal out side as long as it isn't raining -- and we eat at the picnic table under the awning when one is available. In my humble opinion, every single MH, fiver, and TT should have a pull-out/drop-down sink outside. I can always find workspace for cooking, but I wash my hands a lot when cutting meat, setting up and tearing down camp, etc. I use my outdoor sink a lot and would miss that in a coach that didn't have it.
