24. Or. 30

Just any ware...?"

Once you get above 26' in Class C there will be a huge difference vs what you were used to and obviously liked about your TC. There are lots of choices but adding 4 - 6' really does not bring that much benefit if you don't need all the extra interior space.

It depends a lot on how you plan to use the rig. We spend about 13 hours a day outside retreating to the rig just to eat and sleep. For us the drive/parkability of our 24' 6" C is priceless. We can easily shop, sightsee and park just about anywhere we go and we definitely will fit in any site.

Our non slide Nexus is 101" wide and has a full 7' of headroom throughout the coach making it one of the roomiest 24 footers out there. Marry those dimensions to a great floorplan and we have found what for us is the perfect coach. We have far more storage and payload than we can use and the V-10 powers our E-350 chassis without even breathing hard.

After 5+ years and 52K+ miles, we would never go bigger... just no reason to do so.
As always... Opinions and YMMV

Gaetan (the OP),

I completely agree with what Desert Captain is saying above!

Our situation is similar to his ... the wife and myself (and a little dog) have traveled all over the U.S. in our 24 foot Itasca Class C that has no slides and is 101 inches wide with plenty of headroom (I'm 6'2") and storage inside and out. We cannot overload it because it's based on the heavier duty E450 Ford van chassis (small Ford based Class C rigs are usually built on the E350 chassis).

What really makes ours most usable is that the DW - with her bad back - has the entire rear queen bed to herself and I have the entire overhead cab queen bed to myself. (However, I'm blessed in that I can still, at age 76, easily get up into the overhead cab bed.)

We don't tow and don't need to, as we can quickly break camp and go into towns to resupply or visit. We can camp in the older campgrounds with small sites and we can camp without hookups whenever required with it's generous tanks with 12 volt heaters, large double batteries, generous sized propane refrigerator, and built-in Onan generator (we also carry along another small portable generator). We even take ours offroad out in the desert to explore, collect rocks, and sometimes boondock camp.

Here's the brochure on our Class C line - we have the non-slide 24V model with the rear queen corner bed: http://www.winnebagoind.com/resources/brochure/2005/05-Spirit-bro.pdf

P.S. Note that our 24V floorplan has a swivel lounge chair immediately to the right of the side entrance door (it swivels and extends back and forth) - in addition to the dinette - which can easily seat four (it has four seat belts) and also converts into a full sized bed.
