Thinking about down sizing and would like your comments...

[goufgators]

Due to age, believe it's time to begin driving something a bit smaller...so thinking about moving from our current class A to a class C. Been looking at a Thor, Freedom Elite FE 26. But, some on line reviews are not so good re: fit and finish. If you have knowledge of the pros or cons of this unit, I'd like very much to hear back from you. Thanking you in advance.../ Larry

I would be more inclined to look at short class A the same length that you want in a class c. There are a number to choose from today from 26-30 ft.

Larry> First a disclaimer: I have never owned a Class C. BUT we looked long and hard this fall for 18 to 30 ft. unit. WE were buying used with a less than $40,000 budget. I was shocked at some of the junk on the market. The popular units seem to be the worst. Horrible cabinetry. We looked at one Winnie and the cupboard door were not solid wood. Particle board with a thin vinyl wrap that peels in the heat. Some of the best are no longer in production: Triple E and Bigfoot come to mind. Lazydays still is around and although I did not like some of the floor plans they are well made. Be aware that if you are buying used many of the units for sale are X rentals. We ended up with a 2004 26 ft. Safari Trek class A.

Good advice and one I'm not discounting. Thanks!
