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?

There are a number of quality C's out there, the higher end Winnebago's, Lazy Daze, Born Free and my personal favorite Nexus. Look for a quality build which means fiberglass roof and end caps and steel framing is stronger than aluminum, Azdell is superior to Luan or plywood. A better quality rig will have features like heated tanks, large furnace and AC systems, electric awning, high end appliances and an inner spring mattress.
Chassis choices come down to Ford, Chevy (for slightly better leg room), and the Mercedes Sprinter series (and no they do NOT get 20 mpg). If you are going to pull a Toad get a Ford or Chevy with the big block gas V-10 or 6.0L engines and look for a large fuel tank, 55 gallons is about right.
Don't believe the nonsense that you just "Have" to have slides, some do, some don't, lots of choices out there. Look for C's with lots of storage both inside and out. Watch out for C's that have very little cargo carrying capacity (CCC), 2,000# should be the minimum and more is better.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV. :C
