About 3 - 5 years ago, we looked at a 19 foot class C with a slide. I think it was a Dodge. Since then, I have not been able to remember what brand it was and think it would be a perfect size, especially since it has the slide. Can anyone help with me with this information? We are downsizing from our 31 foot and want something we can travel in without towing a car. Any suggestions?
Check out the 19 foot Coachmen Freelander..... but NO SLIDE. There is a video on the net if you search. When you buy such a short Class C you need bang for the buck. Make sure it has an OH bed.
Other than THIS SRW 19' (maybe a true 20' or 21') rig with a cab-over bed that Cruise America rents out with NO slide out, I never seen a class B+ or C at 19 feet long. At least not in many years, and then surely without a slide out.
The Phoenix Cruiser 2100 is 21'-7" long and it is offered with and without a slide out. I am sure there are other brands to be found. For a couple, I personally would like the 2100 if it had a cab-over bed to avoid set-up and tear-down once each per day. I feel the 2100 without a slide out is ideal for a single person. Just make the dinette a day bed and you are all set up for all needs day and night. If special ordering, you could request the couch be replaced with a nice recliner, likely at no additional cost.
Sure it was Dodge chassis? I think the Federal bailout of Chrysler in the1970s took them out of the medium truck and RV business before Newmar introduced slideouts for RVs.
In the early 1970s when most RVs were on Dodge chassis, most C's were 19-21 feet long, anything more than 24' was unusual.
We got the 23 footer that you see in our signature. It's the perfect size for the two of us, and we don't need a toad. Yet, it still has the V10, so the mountains are not an issue.
