Thinking about buying Class C

We are considering buying a Class C. We have a 5th wheel Flagstaff classic super lite 26-28ft. depending on how you measure. We have loved the Forest River RV's, but we are having problems finding the right fit. We will not buy a Thor or Jayco(bad issues with these in the past) We have found one or two that are an options, but I don't want to look back see there were better option. We have to have one that does not have a folding bed, we have to change out the mattress every time we buy. No longer than 30 ft.That is our limit to park in our drive. I want some potty space. I hate to be on the potty and smash my face to pick up a lost roll of TP. I am 5'3 and tired of getting"bulldog face" slamming into the potty door. Right now the Sunseeker 2860DS looks like it would be "OK", but the cooking space is tiny.
Does anyone have any suggestions we should look at before pulling the trigger?

  • we have a winnebago, wife really not happy but it has most of what you want. Walk around queen bed in rear (slide out), but the space is small none the less. Bathroom shower area is pretty fair sink is across the hall. Kitchen area is about average for the size. Big thing is the horseshoe dinette which I hope to get rid of soon. It is a 28ft B+ as we dont have any kids to carry (grandkids dont want to go yet) so look at them. The Jayco Melbourne is the wifes favorite and has had some good reviews. I liked it because of the driver area. electric seats a little more open, but like most B+ has little in way of outside storage. Itascas are basically the cheaper winnebagos but have seen some that would meet your needs.

    Remember all are a compromise to what you want, we went from a TT to this vehicle as a 5er was just not an option. I wanted to be able to put stuff in the bed of the truck! If you dont need the overhead bed look at the B+ where you dont have that big sail in the front some have storage space up there also. Just some thoughts.
  • IMHO Class C's are VERY expensive for what you get. You might want to look at smaller Class A's. I'd start with the Camping World used RV list that can be sorted by length or price.
