Thank you for the excellent recap of your trip! I imagine the flawless performance of your RV added to your wonderful experience as well. In your opinion, would it have been significantly more difficult to travel the same roads in a 30 foot class C motor home instead of a 25 footer? The Nexus Phantom 23P is beginning to look more appealing to me the more I research it.
The only roads that would have been a challenge at 30' were Highway one on the coast and a couple of the access roads/campgrounds that were very tight. Anything bigger than 30' would start eliminating more of the places we went. As you can see we love to find out of the way, often isolated CG's and the best sites usually will not accommodate a larger unit. Don't know what a 30 footer would have to offer the two of us that our 24' doesn't. :h
The one thing with a larger C that could be problematic is bottoming out the rear end on deep/steep driveways. Driveways/entrances to parking lots etc., often are just steep enough to cause the rear end to drag. On our rig it is just the bottom of the Reese Class IV hitch that catches but larger C's have a lot more overhang and potential for high centering. It was never a problem but after doing it once or twice I got real picky about which driveway I used going into/out of parking lots, gas stations etc.. :C
