A vs. C
Hello All, We currently own a 2009 Kingsport 295 QB and are thinking of selling the TT and buying a motorhome. We just don't know if we want to get a class A or C. I've read a lot about both and t...

msturtz, that was excellent!
We have not owned a C, but considered one for all three of our RV purchases.
Last time out, we planned to buy a C for two reasons. First, wife would be more confident driving it, with the van-style cockpit. Second, the cabover would give us a good second sleeping space.
We found that the Cs in our priced range, $20K, were either very tired-looking and/or had a cheap feel to the interior with waferboard cabinets, cheap carpet, and some really "grandma's living room" fabrics. Many had entertainment systems in the cabover.
We just don't watch TV when we travel, so the entertainment system was a waste of space.
We chose an older class A, a 1998 diesel pusher. It was well-maintained and the story checked-out, so-to-speak. It has air suspension, ceramic tile, decent upholstery, ducted ACs, dual-pane windows, real wood cabinetry, diesel generator, body paint, and a host of other features that make it very comfortable. I really looks nice, inside and out. Friends guessed it to be 3-4 years old, not fifteen. A lot of that has to do with the quality of a nice DP.
Yeah, I do all the driving, but I am OK with that. I really love our RV, and have no plans to sell or trade.
