Terryallan, my comments were just general observations I have used when evaluating the quality of RV's. Yours has some impressive numbers but I'll wager that in support of my theory it wasn't inexpensive to purchase.... the good ones seldom are.
Having owned a quality Class C, my Nexus Phantom 23P for nearly 4 years and 36,000 miles I have come to appreciate the difference a quality build makes. Along with Lance, Nexus was one of the first to use Azdell exclusively. They also frame their coaches in steel which is 72 per cent stronger than conventional aluminum and wood framing found in most coaches.
Our 13,5000 AC is fine for us in a 24' C but I have seen them in much larger units and living in Arizona you tend to notice things like that. Our furnace e is 35,000 BTU's which clearly is overkill but the way we travel it gets a workout for at least 6 months of the year and really makes life pleasant when the temps start dropping.
Everyone uses their rigs differently, we spend about 65 per cent of our time off of the grid and rely on all three of our tanks on every trip. Not many folks tow a 700# Harley for the fun of it but for us it works very well. I've never been a fan of slides but most folks just can't live without them... guess that's why they make chocolate and vanilla. :B
