Fiver to Sprinter type

My wife and I have been using our various fivers primarily for boon docking. We have decided to go to a Sprinter type motor home, and start looking over this great country. We are looking at the View/Navion 24G rigs. At 6'3 I would like the queen bed. We are not necessarily locked into these brands but lean very heavily towards this style. We are really looking forward to the freedom to go when we want and stop when we want.

We will probably be looking for a used rig, probably 2 to 2 years old. Are there any special recommendation's? Anything we should watch out for etc.?

We currently have a 2010 Montana 2955RL, with solar panels, inverter and other goodies, but at 70 we are entering a new phase of Rv'ing.
I may not be good.....but I'm slow.

Sorry, I'm new to these and it seems they are sometimes referred to class B or B+

might take a look at leisure travel van leisurevans.com. we have the freedom serenity II mod has the bed you like. were in the upper 60,s and travel from spot to spt at a whimm. in my opinion this brand is built better than the others . ours 2007 has not had a problem since new. one little one but MB fixed it quick. ours has the MB 5cyc diesel engine and my log book will show over 20mpg not towing my boat and avg 17teen towing a 16ft bass boat. I,ve had class A,s and C.s this is the best of them . you gotta look at one ,the drivers leg room is huge.
