Down sized

We went from a 32 ft down to a 21 ft 4 years ago. It was a good fit for us. Admittedly on very rainy days it can get small. But we camp to spend time outside. We added a canopy to allow us to stay out even when it rained. We have had NO regrets.

I took a look at your floor plan and it's really interesting ...



Our 2014 Freedom Express 192RBS had a short queen bed as well, especially annoying now that the current 2016 models have a full length 80" bed. :S Would you have enough room at the end of the bed to extend the bed platform as I did (7 pics)? :@ It's not quite as good as a full length bed but much better than having my feet hanging over the edge of a short queen mattress. :B

I had a 27' class C, and it had a split bath, so there was plenty of room to get dressed between the two curtains in the hallway.

Now I have a 30' motorhome, and it also has a huge bathroom. I hope that everything works out for you. I did like the ability to park it on small parking spaces in the grocery stores while out traveling around. Now I have a tow car, and sort of miss the smaller RV,

Goof luck,

Fred.

Well, my wife and I have done the same thing. I have always desired to have the smallest trailer that has everything I want. Our previous trailer, a 25 ft. Nomad Bunkhouse served us many years with our kids. Now it's just us so we purchased a new Creekside 20fq from Outdoors RV manufacturing. It has a walk around short queen:( and a large u-shaped dinette in the back with a massive window. The only thing I wish it had is standard queen. We have been working on the inside "making it ours". Can't wait to put that little guy behind the new Duramax!

I sold my 5er this summer. Tip to tip it was almost 29' long. We are looking at replacements around 25' or shorter. Upsizing is the common direction, but I prefer right sizing.

I will update after I have used it a few times, I am looking forward to the ease and less stress.

As downsizing has been asked about often, please update us with your experience for all to share.

A couple of years ago we too downsized from a triple bunk bed family trailer to our current Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS, similar is size to your MW, and now in our third season have found it serves our purposes nicely - less costly, easy to tow, fits easily on our driveway, and can be parked on pretty well any size campsite we may come across. Of course, 30'+ models will always be popular but in recent years I've noticed the increasing popularity of shorter to mid length 20' to 25 models, perhaps as more of us are aging and now only having to accommodate a couple of adults. Great choice on your part ... CONGRATS! :B

Have you camped/traveled in it yet? Which model did you buy?

We are considering the same transition. We like the size and layout of most 24' class C motorhomes. We are still considering a smaller TT though. Our 31' TT is a bit bigger than we need and limits our ability to camp most places we like to visit.
