Class A model advice

We are looking at getting a Class A sometime in the next year or so. We currently have a 29' TT which we really like, however, it really doesn't have much closet space. My wife only wears long dresses and most of the TTs and Class A models we have looked at only have half closets (where you can hang a coat or shirt). Currently, my wife hangs her dresses in the shower. This works OK until you need to use the shower and have to take all her dresses out (she brings 3 X as many dresses as she needs!).

We have found a few Class A models that do have full length closets but not many. Our favorite so far is the Newmar Baystar 3401. It has a nice large closet. Unfortunately, this model has only been out a year or two and I haven't been able to find any on the used market. I really don't want to buy new since I am mainly a "weekend warrior" due to our work schedules. Doesn't really make sense to me to spend the $$$ on a new one when I probably only spend around 30 nights a year in the RV.

Any suggestions on Class A models that have full length closets? That is really the main option we are looking for. We are looking in the 32-37' range gas Class A's but wouldn't be against a DP if the floor plan was right.

Long dresses or long skirts? Most closets will accommodate skirts. I don't think that I have ever seen anyone at any campground that was wearing a long dress. Not that it is a bad thing, I just have never seen it and I have been camping for 40+ years now.

Not sure what your budget is, but our 2008 Monaco Monarch has plenty of closet space - we never get close to filling it up. But we are also not full timers.

Don't see many dresses around campgrounds!


That is all she wears. She doesn't like folding them. She doesn't even own a pair of pants or shorts.

My wife has mentioned this option as well. Her dad installed shelving in our closets and likes working with wood.

Our coach has a full length closet. Previous model was the 2902 and I am guessing it does as well.

Most closets have drawers underneath. You can remove some of the drawers to get a full length closet. If you need a lot of closet space, maybe look at a bunkhouse floor plan and convert the bunks in to a large closet for her dresses as well as other storage.
