I have been studying about and searching for "small class A" motorhomes recently. Ever since a salesman at a large RV dealer suggested one would be better for our purpose than the class "C's" or "B+'s" that we were asking about.
We plan to full-time starting about a year from now. But may buy one sooner. Like later this fall or early winter (I read Bill Myers book on Buying a Motorhome).
The sales guy said that Class "A''s drive much better and are more stable in windy conditions. And that the fuel economy may even be better than at least the larger Class "C"'s. He mentioned storage and living space being better in a Class "A". That's a no-brainer, but I need feedback about and help understanding the driveability/stability aspects. So could those of you with experience please chime in.
The next thing that confused me was when I ran into the "wheelbase-to-length" ratio thing. I have been studying Class "A" motorhomes up to 33' long but focusing on those 26' to 28'. I've read some posts by those who say this "wheelbase-to-length" ratio must be high enough. And that driving one that isn't is a terrible experience. So if thats so important should I be looking at longer units?
So some help with the small Class "A" vs. Class "C"/"B+" question and the whole "wheelbase-to-length" ratio thing will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Jim
