Also maybe look at Nexus Class C. I have no knowledge but they look pretty good.

Lazydays still is around and although I did not like some of the floor plans they are well made. Be aware that if you are buying used many of the units for sale are X rentals. We ended up with a 2004 26 ft. Safari Trek class A.

Triple E that used to build Class A (and others) is not around any more but is now Leisure Vans with a line up of Class B and B+ units. Check out their website. The units are very well made and have some innovative features.
They are made in Canada and with our current low $ value, there should be some good deals on the American market. The units are not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Don't know your budget and is none of my business but downsizing does not mean going from an A to a C. Newmar has several class a units that have good quality, fit and finish are good, and may be in the size you are looking for. Nice sized tanks too.

And I'm somewhat prejudiced as I just ordered a 31 footer.

I would be more inclined to look at short class A the same length that you want in a class c. There are a number to choose from today from 26-30 ft.

If you're satisfied with your current Itasca, buy another Winnebago product. You'll be trading down on quality going from a Winnebago to a Thor. Good luck!

Good advice and one I'm not discounting. Thanks!
