Oooooh .... I left one IMPORTANT item off my long earlier list: Do not buy a Class C with an overhead bed forward facing window!!!!
Yes, it can be a source of leaks over the years - but way worse - try getting home from across the U.S. after getting it shattered by a stone from an oncoming truck and then breaking into a million pieces all over the interior while driving down the road. The glass in them is tempered glass (for "strength") .... but is also non-safety glass so they do not stay together when cracked by a rock. And ... not just "anybody" can put a new one in right so it doesn't leak from then on. It took three(3) tries by professionals to get a new cabover window put in correctly in our Class C.
