Transition from TT to Class C

Folks, thanks for the wonderful replies and insight. Tothill I do appreciate your comment/input and do hope no one has been offended. As to costs, I am prepared to spend a little more up front as I will definitely want a toad. My Silverado will have to go(boy I hate that) but I am not ready to have only one car at home and I am not prepared to be without transport when I get where I am going. I suppose my major concern is giving up the "luxury" of a rear living TT w/ the recliners and so forth( basement storage is not all that expansive but we have learned to do with that...although I do keep a few items in the bed of the TV - portable grill and a couple of folding chairs); which is why I traded the previous TT in the first place as it was only 3 years old and in great shape. we just wanted that rear living. We will both have to get our arms around that but won't unless we can get a Class C with great amenities and a "pantry". That is really my only negative w/ the TT...no pantry and that only keeps it from being a 10 by .5. I am still looking and trying to decide between a used C somewhere in the 2011 range or a new one. So if anyone has any additional insight as to how they handled a transition please jump in....and again.....Thanks to all.
