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?

Ask 10 people and you are going to get 11 answers. Get on the 'net and download brochures, study the floor plans and amenities. Think how many people you have in your family and what they will need. Don't overbuy in the sense that you want to have something that will carry your whole extended family. That costs you a bundle just for other people. Let them buy their own.
Consider what hobbies you want to pursue while on vacation. Where in the country do you plan to visit? Mountains, Beaches, Desert ---- fishing, hunting, National Parks, etc.
Naturally we prefer our own choice, and we are working on improvements, particularly improving cargo capacities.
Shorter units tend to fit in more rental spaces, of course but then you can't carry as much junk (oops, I mean toys) as you might want.
Also think about whether you want to bring a toad. (which means boat, small car, etc.)
Buying new IMHO is never cost effective. Sure there is always some wear and tear on a used unit, but restoration is certainly less costly than the difference between new and used.
Think about whether you want gas or diesel. Naturally I have my opinion about that, and so does everyone else.
You can get a good trade-in unit from a dealer and they will do a thorough inspection before you take delivery although they won't offer any warrantee. Any unit under 5 years old is a fairly safe bet, after that there will be some repair issues.
Still, remember the dealer is in business to make money. Deal hard, and always be prepared to walk away. There are many others out there.
