Best 30 foot TT?

Just a couple of been there done that or doing that comments.

I would never have a widow over the headboard again. You get heat coming in when it is hot and cold coming in when it is cool (think 40°). I have insulated mine with that aluminum bubble stuff.

I had an Arctic Fox 22H. The insulation goes both ways. In the summer the air conditioner ran less often and was not as noisy as the one I have today. Loved that TT. But as I got older having everything inside one box with a motor under it works out better for me.

Take note of water & holding tank capacities.

Make sure the shower is big enough. A buddy did not think about the corner shower till he used it the first time. His wife loves it…..

If this is your first TT, many things that matter can't be seen and with some things that can be seen, you can't tell what's good and what is bad. Don't fall for the bling in some TTs. For above average build quality and reliability, you can't go wrong with an OutdoorsRV product.

We thought our first TT was our forever TT. It lasted just one season before we realized it wasn't even close to suiting our needs. Better informed, after spending a ton of time researching brands and models and finding a replacement, it turned out to be a lemon that got returned under warranty. You might want to rent or borrow a TT and see what works and what doesn't. Some things that can matter won't be discovered until you actually own a TT. Going to an RV show can be really frustrating as they all look the same after a while. Another thing you could do is rent a cabin in a CG and walk around and talk to some owners - you would be amazed at things you can learn. Talk to an independent RV shop for suggestions. Also, there are good dealers and bad dealers.

Choose wisely, choose once...

They are very pricey & yet probably the BEST!
If you need to truly deal with cold climates?

Best quality build & very heavy, but being I live in so Call & only randomly go into the cold temps that they are build for seems not worth me spending that much.

But VERY NICE!

I just noticed the Flagstaff 26RLWS, ForestRiver & they look nice. 2 slides & a window at the head of the bed & rear recliners facing forward towards the TV.

I keep looking at them on line & try to see one soon in Person.

Looks like I have one of my vehicles sold & that will give me $10K towards my saving for the purchase.
But I'll still need to sell more to make room behind the house.

But a dream if it would fit where I need to store it?

That does look nice :C

One personal preference for us was having lots of outside awning covered space.

In a long camper a rear slide would be fine, but in a shorter one, we prefer to have big open space covering a large awning mat. Our "Front Porch" so to speak.

It all depends on how you want to use your RV and your personal preferences, but I would suggest you grab a camping chair or two and go sit next to a few RVs with a door slide extended. It might suit you well, it might not...but then you'd know ;)

Sounds like you are starting to enjoy the search. Good for you!

Looks very nice but I see the bedroom space around the bed as VERY IMPORTANT!

Does Coachman have a good rep?
So far I've only seen a used one on an RV lot & thought it looked very nice?
Whats their rep?
Good build quality?

It's actually almost 26' not 22'. Nice layout with lots of kitchen counter space.
No where to sit except the dinette. I would sit on it for 20 mins and see if you sink to the bottom. Most dinettes are uncomfortable for long periods of time.
We like to hangout outside most of the time but there's times when we are inside most the day. Only having a dinette to sit at would be a deal breaker.
Myself I would yank that booth dinette out and put a nice recliner sofa in.
Just use some tv trays for eating.
