I currently don't own an rv, looked at renting one, but was surprised at how much they. My idea, buy a 2-3 old class c rv, use it for 6 months to a year, taking some smaller trips to get use to it. After the cross country trip, sell it. The age my kids are, we would not use it very often at this point in our lives. Obviously I wouldn't be able to sell for what I bought it for, but looking for advice on what class c holds the most value. Am I completely nuts? Thanks! Udetective, I think your head is in the right place. Don't pay too much for your gently used RV and expect not to break even in the end. A realist.....Good for you! JerryRe: How much rear overhangWe specifically went looking for a Class C that has good ground clearance at the back end. The hobby will sometimes take us to places that the clearance will be most welcome. The 2016 Thor 28Z Chateau is what we bought. On our test drive, we tried to find places where we'd drag the back end and couldn't. The salesman was kinda having a fit and swore up and down that his own 2008 28 footer (don't know what make) would have scraped and hung up on most of the places we tried. I'll let you know after our first full season whether our decision was on target. Very happy so far! Jerry
