To B or not to B

We got our first RV 35' class A back in 2007. Now the kids are older and we're thinking to down size to a B or possibly a B+.

We bought our Class B in 2005, still have it, and have put 135K+ miles on it. We would buy the same one again if we were to do it over.

But that is just because it perfectly met our needs and wants. Everyone has their own preferences and asking your kind of question will bring out many viewpoints. The main thing is to know your needs and preferences as you move on in your life.

My previous camping experience before buying a Class B was a lot of tent camping, backpacking and two experiences renting a pop up tent trailer for week-long vacations. So moving from that to a Class B was a definite step up as someone else mentioned, even though a lot of years passed by before we were both retired and decided we wanted to see more of the country. Touring is what I think a Class B is suited for and that's what we have done. For longer term camping, a bigger RV might be better suited although we know quite a few people use Class Bs for that also. We have taken a number of six-week trips, but seldom spent more than two nights at any one place on these trips or any of our trips.

Good luck in your quest.
