Which Class C Should we buy and why?
Hi Everyone. We have a fifth wheel and pull it with a long bed crew cab. This was fine until we really got old. We've had our trailer since 2000 and love every inch of it, but we realize it is ha...

Linda: given your "must-haves" noted above, you may have a hard time finding a Class C that has a reasonable ability to carry people, supplies, and things without running the risk of being over weight. Slideouts, leveling jacks, all eat-up the Cargo Carrying Capacity of any motorhome.
This is not to say you won't find a rig with the options you want, but rather to point out the weight limitations you might encounter. This issue decreases in importance if you don't expect to carry much in the way of water, clothes, food, and camping gear like portable grills, chairs, tents/shelters on your trips.
Buyer Beware - when we visited the Hershey RV show a couple of years ago, we considered moving to a small Class A gasser. We went in one that would have been overweight with the 4 adult members of our family on board, no water, food, clothes, stuff. And, I hasten to add, we are not "big" people. The sales rep would have been happy to sell it to us even knowing the weight issue. Check the weight stickers yourself and do not depend on the sales rep to know or volunteer the OCCC.
Good luck on the search.
