Whats the best Class C RV
I'm just starting my hunt for an RV. I've decided on a Class C MH and was wondering if there was a consensus on which model is the best overall?

- Thank you so much for all the advice! You were right...there were as many opinions as I could ever need. I decided on a 2012 Holiday Rambler Alumilite 31WPS. It has everything I need and the price was in my budget (which was a big deal).
It has the Ford engine many of you described as desirable and will fit my large family without feeling too squished. Tons of storage! It does have one slide out...I didn't care either way. I'm not smart with mechanical things, so my plan is to have it serviced and the roof inspected every 6 months at the dealership. Crossing my fingers that I got a good one! - U-Joint is another van converter. http://www.ujointoffroad.com

That is an interesting question of which I have no idea if the Quigley 4x4 conversion benefits in that way.
Ron,
Since PC's 4X4 option (like most light truck 4X4 conversions) employs a solid front axle suspension, I wonder if Ford's notorious front end problems resulting from their "Twin I-Beam" suspension's loading and alignment are once and for all eliminated??
We have a Quigley converted E350 where I work with lots of miles on it. No issues with it whatsoever regarding the front end that I know of. I also knwo a guy with a Sportsmobile 4x4 E series. He has lots of miles and just had the front suspension gone through as it was getting sloppy. Some of the parts are spendy and definitely not something you get at the auto parts store as they are particular to the conversion.ron.dittmer wrote:

If the ride isn't boneshaking, I've liked the idea of a 4WD motorhome. It wouldn't be hitting the Moab hot tubs in Hell's Revenge, but the higher ground clearance coupled with the ability to head further into the backwoods can come into handy.
Plus, flipping on 4WD sure beats having to find someone with a heavy duty wench to unstick your vehicle.
Tiger Adventure Vehicles, based on one ton or larger pickups, are definitely not bone shakers! Tiger- Thanks, Ron. You're the best.

The Isuzu based Earth Cruiser(Host Camper assembled) has an All Terrain Motorhomes developed suspension that rides and handles like an SUV.- If the ride isn't boneshaking, I've liked the idea of a 4WD motorhome.
