Winnebago ERA
Well yesterday we test drove the Itaska Navion, a class "C" and a Winnebago ERA. I guess we are just "B" people at heart. The ERA was the clear winner. I must confess it is exactly what we want, floor...

Width and height, not length are the separators of Class Bs from Cs. I've driven on several roads just this past year you would dare not or could not take a Navion, View, Serenity or some other shorter Class Cs for instance.
As for that length. I can still get my 22'-9" Sprinter into pull in angle parking spots in most places and some straight in spots if there is space to overhang at the curb. My previous 21'-11 Sprinter was easier. A 24'-1" Sprinter would be chancey. However, if you are hauling bikes, a cargo carrier or spare tire you are pushing it with all three. The Era 70A storage in the back is ample so you would not need a cargo carrier. The 24' Advanced RV was designed with the idea of carrying bicycles inside the cab. So in both instances they solve the extension to length issue. Spare tire? I have none. How about that? And to think I drove 10,500 miles on the Alaska Highway, Yukon Highway, Cassiar Highway and gravel On Top of the World Highway. I did chicken out driving the gravel 400+ mile one way Prudhoe Bay Highway that I wanted to do.
