Re: Shortest Class C Recommendations
I may be a little late on this thread. But just wanted to give my opinion as a owner of a Majestic 19G. We personally think it's a very convenient size, mainly because we are okay with the bed in the overhead cab. It's decent size, bed is technically queen size (and even larger). The headroom is better than on some other Class C because of the bubble shaped overhead cab. We've been travelling and sleeping in this RV for the past 80 nights and still feel this is very comfy. We've added a memory foam mattress topper and it helps (I wouldn't advise using the original "mattress"). We've seen the floor plan on bigger Class C's and what they call B+ like "BT Cruisers". To be honest, we definitely prefer our floorplan since we keep the table as a table and the bed as a bed. We also like the single rear wheel, the V8 instead of V10. We fit in a normal parking space, we've parked in cities, parallel parking... We were also able to go any road where there is a 22ft length limit. Plus, we've parked on BLM lands with dirt roads where I probably wouldn't go with a larger rig (rough roads), when you go down steep hills, the portion of vehicle behind the rear wheels is a lot shorter on a 19ft. But! The Majestic unit might be pretty basic for some. We've added Solar panel, Larger deep cycle battery, 1000w inverter, Maxxfan, backup camera and so on.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Majestic 19G renos have started

The chassis minus the house has the 5,000/500 limit. With the house installed on the chassis, the towing limit is reduced to 2,500/200.

Hi PhotoMike, Thanks for sharing this! I also own a 19G and was wondering if you knew about the hitch class en specs of the one installed on this Class C. The original hitch has a sticker that say 5000lbs tow, and 500lbs tongue weight. But there is another sticker on top of if that says 2500/200. I'm not sure if it's CruiseAmerica who put the 2nd sticker to make sure people are not towing anything with the RV. Or is it the manufacturer (Thor?) who limits the tow capacity because the body/frame is modified because it's an RV? We plan on putting our Scooter (50cc, 220lbs) and two road bikes on the hitch. Overall it might be a bit over 300lbs including the racks. If it's the RV frame that cannot support what the hitch can support, I might end up modifying the rear so that I have 2 additional "receiver" so that my rack is supported 3-way.889Views0likes0Comments
