If you forsee using a Class C for day trips to local parks, theme parks, sport and hobby usage, i.e. other than camping/touring, keep the length down to 27 feet bumper to bumper. Longer motorhomes are harder to park in public parks, shopping malls, etc. A rear RV queen size bed, preferably with access on both sides, is essential for mom and pop. Kids love sleeping in the overhead. Try to buy a rig that has no water damage,and with everything working properly. Get independant estimates for any repairs or upgrades needed. RV Fridges, furnaces, roof A/C units, etc start to need repairs/replacement at around 10 years. Tires older than 4-6 years old need replacement regardless of tread depth or appearance for your safety and to protect your rig from damage from flailing steel belts. Don't buy an extended warranty, save money in a pearl harbor account for eventual repairs. Learn what to look for and take your time choosing, don't get tired of looking and buy on impulse.
