Re: Class C boondocking
ron.dittmer wrote: sawyerloggingon, I think you would be surprised how capable a smaller compact class B+ with Duel Rear Wheel (DRW) is on very primitive dirt and gravel roads. The only issue would be the amount of "rear over-hang", potential for dragging the tail on the road when approaching or getting off steep grades. A 4x4 would be wise to have in deep mud and soft sand, but if those extremes are more than planned, then a DRW will serve you nicely. Just try to pick a scaled down rig to get you through over-growth and such. Our now eight year old rig ***Link Removed*** is 23'-8" long, 9'-10" to the tippy top of the a/c unit, and only 93" wide, yet it offers everything practical the bigger rigs have. You might want to check out the new ones ***Link Removed*** to see if new or used (with or without the optional slide out) appeals to you. They have been made for over 11 years now so you have flexibility with regards to price. If you want the rig to have a lower profile yet to clear branches better, consider replacing the roof-top a/c unit with a pop-up sunroof, and manage with chassis a/c alone. That is a viable option for an older rig with a broken a/c unit. Very nice rig in your pics. I have looked at those and am impressed with the quality of that brand in particular and the B+ in general. In my OP I was linking them in with class C in my mind as far as traction goes but the smaller profile is definitely a plus.329Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C boondocking
Thanks everybody, lots of good info to digest. This is a big decision and I don't take it lightly. I'm just a poor old retired logger and can't afford a major financial mistake at this point in life. Personally I am fine with the rigging we have but my wife is needing more creature comforts so it's a balancing act, get where I want to get and keep her happy too. Aint life grand.329Views0likes0CommentsClass C boondocking
Hi, I have been reading this forum quite a while now for good info but now I have a specific question. I have enjoyed my slide in camper for twenty years now and enjoyed where I can camp with it on my 4X4 PU but now we are retired and want to spend more time RVing and have more room so a class C upgrade may fill our needs. I realize it won't go the places the PU with camper can but just where can it go? How is the traction for rather steep loose dirt roads? What about posi traction, do any class C have that feature. Thanks for any input and suggestions.14KViews0likes38Comments
