So, my family and I have been researching class A and C RV's over the past several weeks. We have an idea as to what we want, but are struggling with making a firm decision. Family basics...early 40s couple with a teen son and 20yr old daughter.
Our thoughts/preferences:
1)class C-I'm comfortable driving almost anything (Class A CDL) my wife not so much, she definitely prefers the more van like class C.
2)We intend to do longer trips in the unit we choose, not just weeks/weekends at the lake (although those will happen as well).
3)The majority of our RV use will be 3 or fewer people, but we've discussed a couple of longer excursions with 4-6 people. Yellowstone/Grand Teton being one of those excursions.
4)Must haves for us-bed/bedroom separate from the rest of the unit and a shower that's not standalone in the hallway (We don't understand the concept of just putting the shower right there in the center of the unit where the whole thing has to be closed off to shower??? We must be able to tow a vehicle (planning on using a dolly, currently). And we need enough payload for 5 people, the towed vehicle, water, clothes, etc.
I'm sure there are other items, but that's for another day. I'd love input on RV's, what you like, don't like, what you learned you really didn't need, etc.
Units we're interested in (within our price range):
Thor four winds or Chateau 28z
Thor Freedom Elite 29FE
Freelander 29ks
Coachmen Pursuit 31SB (class A)
Forest River FR3 29DS (class A)
Thanks, blast away with thoughts, remarks, suggestions!
