5th to a C or A, thoughts
I know this is a can of worms, but I'm putting it out there anyway. I currently have a 40' Fiver. We are going to buy a condo in MB next fall. I'm thinking of a 30' +/- Class C or Class A. We will...

We were not "frequent" travelers in either of the two motor-homes we owned. We started out with an older 26' Class C to "try the lifestyle". We enjoyed the lifestyle but really hated the Class C. The cab was cramped, needed a step-down from the living area and I kept hitting my head on the overhead bed when moving from the living area to the driver's seat.
It has other issues due to its age - very poor gas mileage from the carburated 460 engine and a poor interior design that made it very cramped. We sold it after less than a full season and bought a gently-used, 8-year old 32' Class A. We found it through an ad in our local paper. The original owners were selling it because of developing medical problems.
We loved the roominess, liked the 8mpg gas mileage and the overall comfort, particularly the ability to include the driving area as part of the "house" when parked. We had 4 good seasons with it, but it was gobbling a lot of $4.50/gallon gas, which we couldn't afford. We sold it and discontinued the lifestyle.
