New to RV world, starting to shop.
Good day everyone! My wife and I had an opportunity to rent a small RV a few weeks ago to try it out. We really had a nice time. We had rented a Winnebago View (Mercedes Sprinter) and found it to...

My wife and I are still in our 40's and on our second MH, first was not enough. Went from a 26' Class A gas to a 34' DP. Kids just got out of high school and we had no plans of them ever tagging along. Found out we were wrong and they would occasionally tag along with us but the Class A we had was to small. Before we bought I was pretty set on the Sprinter chassis but the extra cost and the towing limitations just did not make sense. Gas milage was great but I made up for it in the reduced price of a gasser.
So a couple of notes here.
1. Don't kid yourself. You may plan on keeping it for 10 years or more, but I doubt that will happen, I had the same thought when I bought our first one.
2. Make sure your wife test drives, mine hates the class A but loves class C. I still went with a Class A and after the DP conversion the wife drives more. DP are just much more enjoyable to drive but come with a price tag.
3. I would look at a Class C with the overhead bunk. It will be much more comfortable when kids are along. Its not only their bed, but their place to put all their personal belongings. Class C's for the most part are cheaper and it seems to me there are more of them out there to choose from. Should also be easier to work on.
4. Class A or C, I recommend getting one with levelers, level blocks will get old real fast.
5. I would definitely test drive a Class A gas and DP along with the C before you make a purchase.
