Where will we sleep?

My wife and I are looking to buy a small (21ftish) used class C motorhome. Our plan is to tow our motorcycle in a small enclosed trailer and then live in the camper for a 1-3 weeks at a time while we ride, and explore the local roads. ...

...Wondering if that's a perfectly legitimate place for 2 adults to sleep. ...

...if pulling a small trailer will we need a dually?

That's exctly what we do. :C

We started with a Pleasure Way Excel, which was about 21 ft. It had the couch in the back which we made up into a pair of twin beds each night.

Based on the Ford E350 chassis, with single rear tires. We tow a Pace 6 x 12 Enclosed trailer with a ramp rear door. This combination worked great for us, except the bathroom was kinda cramped for me, 6'2", 200(+) lbs. The PW pulled the trailer (with an 1100 lbs trike inside) fine although we just had the 5.4 V8. The V10 might have been better.

Because the bathroom was cramped for me, especially when taking a shower, we recently traded for a Gulfstream BT Cruiser, which is supposed to be 23' but is actually about 24'. This one has dual rear tires. I like the dual rear tires because the are not loaded to the max like the single tires on the PW were.

One feature we like about this model is that it does not have a overhead bunk. The space over the cab accommodates the TV and some storage but does not stick up as high as a typical Class C and is much more aerodynamic.

Our is equipped with one slide and again twin beds. We like that the slide does not have to be extended to use the beds, very useful for over-nighting at Walmart. When the slide is extended, it's quite roomy inside. The twin beds are "jack-knife " sofas, which very quickly to convert to beds. We use sleep sacks (kinda like light-weight sleeping bags) so we don't have to make the beds each night, just unroll the sleep sack. In the morning it probably takes about 1 minute to roll up the sleep sack and move to jack-kine to the couch position.

We traveled about a month in it last summer, just as you do, towing the trailer 200-300 miles, setting up camp, exploring in every direction, the heading down the highway and doing it again. :)

We have also traveled on the trike, which we greatly enjoy, but this way we get to sleep in out own bed each night. ;)

It works great for us. I think you are on the right track. :C
