I am relatively new to this great forum, but I have been scouring it for days and learning a _lot_. Many thanks to all of unselfish, informed, and considerate contributors!
Here is what I have focused on for our own needs: a 30 to 40 foot diesel pusher, with a nice bathroom (preferably at least 36" x 36" shower), that has a queen and bunk beds (as well as the standard fold-out queen sofa--thus sleeping for at least six adults). I prefer a smaller package, just hoping that it might give us a little better fuel economy. I am _not_ looking for high-end luxury, but it must be comfortable for an elderly passenger who does not suffer long, rough rides well. So let's say that our upper limit is $250k.
So far, I have only been able to find the following choices to meet our criteria:
1) Tiffin Allegro RED 38 QBA
2) Fleetwood Bounder Diesel RED 36B
3) Damon Astoria 3776
4) Newmar Ventana 3942
Am I missing any other manufacturers or models?
Finally, I note that our options would open up some if we were to consider FREDs (e.g., the Tiffin Allegro 35 QBA). In that I am trying to make the ride as comfortable, quiet, and even cool (temperature wise) as possible for the sake of an elderly, front-seat passenger, am I correct to steer away from the front end diesels?
TIA for any thoughts or suggestions.
