Newbie Just Getting Started...

Hello All,
A newbie here and I have a lot of questions! I do not currently own an RV. I've been a boater all of my life and am now ready to make the switch. I've been looking at RV's on and off for probably 5 or 6 years now (just couldn't part with the boat!). I have settled on a class C as I feel it's a good place to start and I like the flexibility they offer. Through our friend’s advice, experience, and some research on my part, there are a few I really like and think will fit what we (my wife and I) are looking to do. Mostly long weekends with our friends that have RV's, state parks, and beaches. The list (top 5) is as follows:
1) Winnebago Aspect 28B (Like the Fiberglass roofing on the Winn's)
2) Winnebago Access 26 QP
3) Itasca Cambria 30C - Upscale version of the Aspect?
4) Coachman Concord 30 TS
5) Forest River Lexington 265GTS

Looking for used, 2011-2013"s

There are just SO many makes and models that it sure can be confusing. Sorry for the long post, but really just getting started and have chosen the one's listed above based on reputation, layout, word of mouth etc. We also would like to try and stay under 30ft. Thank you all in advance for your help, advice, wisdom, and experience!!

Regards,
Joe

Pick the one you and wife like. You're the ones that will be using it :B
Then go camping and enjoy...and although not as much as boats they do roll/bounce



I have to agree with the above statement.

I've been pleased with the construction on the Winnebago/Itasca lines.

Is this just for two, or are you also in need of space for kids/grand kids to come along with you? That's probably the biggest differentiator between models and some brands.
