Hi looking to buy a class C. Have ha a TT and 5th wheel 10 years ago.
Goal: do a 2 week or couple 1week trips per year with a few weekends scattered in.
Goal2: pull our rubicon JKU along.

Our favorite floor plans are the leprechaun 260ds and sun seeker 2500ts. We like these two because of shorter length open feeling and neither have the typical dinette seating. We like the j seating and sofa of the leprechaun, but I prefer the fiberglass roof and the drain plumbing setup of the sunseeker better.

Looking for any thoughts on these two units

Thanks

They both look like a good choice,I do like the fiberglass on the Sunseeker but on the Leprechaun you can order recliners in place of the sofa.

One thing nice about both of these is that they both can be on a Chevy Chassis

That will give you a larger cockpit area that is more comfortable than that of the Ford Based RV.

Along with Many Other Advantages.

Just some other options to look at.

Good luck in your quest for that perfect RV that will suit you.

You are where we were in 2013. Had several pop-ups, a trailer and a small 5th wheel. Went to a nice used 30 ft. Class C for $23000. In spite of frequent expense either repair or improve, have not regretted it. A MH is much easier to back into a site, has the on-board generator and easy access to the camper part on the road. One cautionary note is that the cost of a MH(really any RV) is high when you include depreciation and the upkeep of essentially a large truck. Since you are suggesting around 25 nights a year, the cost per day will knock your socks off if you divide ALL(predicted) costs including depreciation by 100 days over a 4 year period. We are snowbirds and use ours around 80 days/year and it would still be cheaper to stay in hotels, etc.

The fiberglass roof is a deal maker. Less maintenance and less chance of leaking.
Probably costs a little more, but worth it.
