Re: Class C choices
Going to a dealer this weekend just south of Annapolis, MD. They deal in Winne, Forest River, & Thor. I am adding Forest River to my search. Seems like you can get more cargo capacity with them and their hitch is rated for up to 7500lbs. Not excited about the 60 x 74" bed. Longer would be better and don't want to give up a U shape dinette. BUT that's life, trade offs right ?442Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to sell our Class C
Hey Bill, I just typed you a long private message regarding your Cl C you are trying to sell only to find out you will not accept private messages ??? Apparently it's a Forest River 31'. I am in the Market for a Cl C and you can refer to my posting under p1conroy53. In any case if you want to sell this thing I recommend you open your ways to let people contact you ie, private message is one good way. If you like you can send me a private message about your unit and then maybe we can talk. Later PAT760Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C choices
Thanks all. I will pay pay special attention to the the weight factors. And thanks for the correction j-d gotcha on the 53%. I think that is what I meant but some times there is a disconnect between the brain and the fingers on the keyboard. H-dave, I understand the Itasca 31 is really the same as the Minnnie 31. I'm surprised that you max out the back so fast. Again I will look at this stuff closely. PAT443Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C choices
Rick, Goodie R Thanks for this info Rick I have read about the Axle weight stuff. Admittedly I have always been a bit confused about the GVW, GVWR, etc. I have always asked the sales people about it and none of them can explain it. I did pick up from the RV Consumer web site that there's something about the problems going longer on the As & the Cs.. They have come up with a ratio on overall length vs wheel base should not exceed 53% or the vehicle will be more difficult to handle. I have also read where in some cases after looking at the GW... and some options that there is not enough for payload. You can bet I will ask the questions Goodie, Yes another consideration is making the wife comfortable behind the wheel. The Cl As just freak her out and so another reason for the C. Have a great trip touring Pat443Views0likes0CommentsClass C choices
Looking for some advice or some personal experiences from current owners. I am close to a decision and just wonder if anyone has had any unfortunate experiences with their Class C; Jayco Grey/RedHawks or their Class C; Minnie Winnie. I am thinking about a new 31 +/- footers which enables obviously more room but importantly a better kitchen lay out with more counter space. More money yes but the additional space will keep me and wife a bit more "content" on our longer sojourns. We are not inexperienced traveler/campers. We have just been away from it after raising 6 kids and falling in deep with careers. Well, that is all the past for us now and we are anxious to hit the Road again. So, your feedback (any kind of) would be tremendously appreciated. After all the more problems we can avoid up front will certainly lead to a better experience with our choice and happier days on the Road as apposed to the opposite. BTW have anyone used the subscription service RV Consumer Group ? Thanks for your time PAT5.1KViews0likes15Comments
