Class C With Overall Length of 27' Or Less

A few questions please. What are the better quality single slide class c's with length around 27'? Also, do any have king beds? Looking for something to pull a bassboat. Would a E450 be prefered?
  • Do a little internet research on a Phoenix Cruiser. Every one will fall short with your "king bed" request except for models 2551 and 2552 when getting the optional motorized twin bed bridge to get you a really really big bed.

    Google:
    Phoenix Cruiser 2700
    Phoenix Cruiser 2551
    Phoenix Cruiser 2552

    There are numerous other floor plans, both current and discontinued.

    A bass boat is nothing for any length E450. As mentioned before, you may prefer a front hitch to "face front" down the boat ramp.
  • The Coach House Platinum units are excellent, a 27 ft. model would fit your bill very well. They are very high quality and as DrewE pointed out above, cost a little more money but are worth it. May want to check the used market, the factory sells older units that are well worth looking at to save a little money.
  • If you're planning on launching the bass boat with the motorhome, I would suggest getting a front hitch installed for that purpose. The long rear overhang would make for interesting boat launching in many cases (and the imperfect visibility from a motorhome doesn't help any either).

    I would prefer an E450 or equivalent, even if not towing the boat.

    Edit: The Coach House Platinum 220 is smaller than you're suggesting and has no slide outs, but has two twin beds that can be made into a single king bed in the back. Their Platinum 271XL is about the size you're thinking of and has a single slide out and the two twin beds at the back, but the web site doesn't indicate that they can be made into a king bed; however, it might be possible, and I'd at least give them a call to find out before discounting it entirely. Coach House units are quite good quality...and, of course, priced accordingly.
  • There are quite a few that may fit what you are looking for,none that I know of, will have a King bed,most have a Queen bed.

    As for the size you are looking for you might look at ones that are built on a Chevy Chassis they will give you a better ride and more room in the cockpit along with a lot of other perks

    They all should all have no problem pulling your Bassboat.
    Good luck in your quest for that RV.
