As a person who loves a nice strong shower, the onboard shower is something I know is going to make me sad. I'm really hoping it's not THAT bad. I know the class C is going to be actually more crowded than a hotel room but the ability to personalize it and make it "home" helps a lot.
The boat and RV show comes on a work weekend for me. I work seven 12 hour day shifts then get seven days off then turn around and work seven 12 hour night shifts followed by seven days off. It's a great job but the days I'm working don't leave much time for other stuff. I'm trying to see about taking a vacation day for one of them (especially since Valentines is my anniversary too) but that's dead in the middle of my night shift week and it's hard to get the sleep schedule adjusted.
I am going to try and rent a small class C for a weekend trip to get a better feel for how things work together, road noise and vibrations as well as things like the shower but that still doesnt' help me with buying an RV several states away.
As I said earlier, I'm pretty well set on a used rental class C from C.A. or El Monte. I just really am not sure what things I don't know that would effect that decision. Road noise and freezing weather have become two issues I had no idea about that might strongly effect my decision. Someone has also told me to look out for front facing windows on the cabover because of leak, noise and heat issues. When I finally get on lot to buy I know the roof is something I must examine. A side to side seam is bad as well as tape around the sides or corners. I'm just not real sure what that means.
