year 2000 Minnie Winnie
I'm considering buying my first used class c. It's a Minnie Winnie, year = 2000, 28 footer, queen in back. What would be a great price? It has 67,000. It's about a 6 hour drive away, but from the pictures and the ad, it appears to be in excellent shape. It's a private seller. Is this a good year, make, and model? Any problems I should be aware of? I'll take it to a local RV dealer to have it checked out before buying. Thanks.2.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: floorplan with jackknife sofa and queen bed
No, I was thinking of a 27 footer or shorter that had a queen bed in back and everything else situated some where moving forward from the queen bed- the bathroom, kitchen, jackknife sofa, and the cab over bed. But you are saying that there would be room for a dinette, too? That would be a perfect floor plan for me if I could find it used.240Views0likes0Commentsfloorplan with jackknife sofa and queen bed
Can you find any used Class C's with a queen bed in back and a jack knife sofa in middle, no slide outs, less than 30 foot long? I've been looking and all I've seen have the dinette and maybe a captain's chair with the queen bed in the back. I'm just wondering if they ever made them that way? Thanks.1.3KViews0likes5CommentsBuying a Class A or C motorhome for family of 4
Hi, I’m a first time RV'er, and I’m thinking of buying a used 1985 or newer class A or C motor home for camping trips with my family. I've had a 22 foot TT in the past and do not want another - hated towing it around. Our budget is up to $10,000. Our boys are ages 5 and 7. We live in Oregon and we would like to use it for weekend trips and longer road trips up to 3 weeks. We would like to visit many different National Parks, Forest Service and state campgrounds, and beaches. We could see ourselves taking trips up to Alaska and maybe even cross country. I dislike driving huge rigs. Looking for any suggestions on the smallest one that would be comfortable on longer trips? I’ll be test driving before I buy, but from your personal experience, is there a difference driving a 24 footer vs a 30 footer? Any major difference in engine/drivetrain/transmission/chassis? I don’t know if it would be possible, but for the places I know I’d like to visit, a 4x4 might be handy, so ease of converting it might factor into my decision, but I know at my price point, I won’t have much choice. So far, I’ve seen a Fleetwood flair 1996, 22 foot, Class A, and a ‘ultra rare’ Sterling, 1985, 24 foot Class A. The floor plans of both look nice with a queen bed in the back; I’m just not sure if there will be enough beds in front for both boys. I’m also not sure if I should bump up my search to include 27 footers. Also, what about the age and mileage, should I be looking for only newer, less than 15 years old and less that 60,000 miles, or does it matter? What would be your cut-off for age/mileage? Any suggestions would be appreciated.2.2KViews0likes12Comments
