Why a small class C ?

Great thread !
Having camped extensively in tents, and criss-crossed the country in a pop-up, we are now (in early retirement) ready for a small C. They have the right combination of nimble and comfort for us. We can set up camp anywhere - it's the travel part that's interesting for us. We'll pull the trigger in next couple months - probably between the Unity 24tb and Winnebago 24V. Twin beds (with the space connector, or visiting privledges (hehehe)) means we don't have to climb over each other for middle of the night bathroom runs, and we don't have to climb up a ladder AND over each other. We're after the shortest length that doesn't require the set/up-break-down firedrill at the bookends of the day. I also think it's important to have two separate places in the unit to 'be'. One can read, sleep or watch a movie back in the bedroom, the other can play at the dining table. Simultaneous seperate spaces seems to contribute to the livibility of a small unit. Not picky about bathroom - can bath out of a rubber bucket. Exterior storage matters - ruling out many B's. We can't wait !

We love our Itasca 24V for short or long trips. We've been on a couple of 9K and 7K mile trips across the U.S. and on many short ones in the West. We take it everywhere in towns and the country - even off paved roads exploring and boondocking. We find the size just right for compact travel in full comfort. Due to it's compact size heating, cooling, and keeping it clean are easy. Since it's a basement model we have plenty of outside storage in it's seven cabinets. One of them is large enough for lounge chairs and two of them are for long items like fishing poles, shovels, etc., so we don't have to travel with anything stuffed in the shower or strapped onto the outside ladder. We sleep using both of the permanent queen beds (rear corner and cabover) so the DW can spread out with her bad back. We have been able to carve out a couple of areas in it so we each have our spaces.

We're even just beginning to live in it nearly full time in our back yard for a couple of months while the kitchen and other parts of the stick house our going through a major renovation.
