Hello
I have a 31' class c that at this point seems to be too big for my needs now, we are a small family,wife, daughter and a vizla dog, but I would like to have 4 seats so I come here to get some help.
I want to drive this rv more often than the time it seats under the cart port, most of the camping we do is at state parks and newer campgrounds with hook ups, we pull a boat and do alot of mountain biking but we dont take the RV off roading but sometimes I go on dirt roads, nothing that requires 4x4, here is what I'm thinking:
I'm looking to downsize to a something like a Roadtrek 190 versatile on a chavy chassis from 1996 to 2002 years.
The 1996 year I like the 190 versatile or the 210 popular,  older body style, from '97-'02 they all look similar.
1) what other class B look similar to the roadtrek?
2) for roadtrek owners, does the older models have a higher ground clearance or they just look higher? I know the '96 hight is 8' 4" and some of the newer ones are 8' 6" overall hight and looking at pictures the older model still looks higher  me.
Option 2 would be a '97 or newer Chinook and I know this one looks more like my class C but smaller, I'm not sure if I would drive it as much in town as I would the roadtrek.
Thanks

Roadtrek's are good RV's, but very pricey but not too roomy. If it was just you, your wife and the dog A 190 or 210 would do. But your daughter in their too then its just to cramp, I mean just think about it, just to use the shower you have to block the hallway and their only designed to sleep just two (practically). You'd need to jump up to a small C like a Sunseeker 2500TS, or a bigger class B. But if you get the Roadtrek get the chevy 6.0 in it.
