    Downsizing from Fifth Wheel to Class B: Experiences and Key Considerations

    My wife and I have traveled all around the western states pulling three different fifth wheels. Our last was a 38+ ft Grand Design. It was a home on wheels and was perfect for someone looking for a second home. We love to travel, but, we tried staying one month in Mesa ... not really our jam. We...

    I’m looking at possibly downsizing to a 2021 Newmar New Aire from my 2015 Entegra Anthem. I am no longer full time and will be using it for weeklong trips and probably a 3 month trip during the summer. Anything I specifically should look out for when downsizing to a New Aire?

    Downsizing?

    We have owned a Grand Design Imagine 22MLE for 4 years now. We absolutely LOVE our trailer, but at our age it is starting to be more of a pain to haul and set up. Plus, it requires a large pickup to tow it. I am seriously considering a smaller unit like a Casita Spirit Deluxe, towable behind my...

    Re-thinking the RV life

    When we got the Dancer, it was a bit of a compromise. Margo didn't like the Class A. She was nervous about the whole world speeding by with just a piece of glass between her and the world out there, rushing by. Don't get me wrong. It's a nice rig. But now, I'm not sure I need all that space...

    Payload Question

    After towing for the last 5 years with a 2020 GMC 2500 Denali, I have decided to sell the truck and downsize to a 1500 GMC SLT. I am towing a 2015 27FB International and use a Blue Ox hitch. Since I currently have a 3016 lb payload on the 2500, I am now going to have to be concerned with payload...

    Replacing Air Mattress question?

    We have a Calif King Air Mattress (I'm sure it must be an off brand as I have had a Sleep #) that we have trouble sleeping on. I want to down size to a Good queen with about 10" height. My question, is there any problem getting the mattress through the door. I imagine 2 men and possibly a boy...

    Anyone go from a large diesel pusher to Airstream TT?

    We had a terrific American Coach for 13 years. The ONLY repair in 13 years was patching a crack that developed in the fresh water tank. Slides were perfect along with all other systems. We sold it two years ago after not using it for 3 years. Now my son got a Basecamp, and this has re-ignited an...

    New to the Winnie World 2025 Micro Minnie 2108FBS

    I've lost track of how many different campers we've had over the years. We've owned everything from a tent to a Scamp to a 5th wheel to a class A, and we just bought our first Winnebago, our first brand-new camper, a Micro Minnie 2108FBS. Sadly, we put it in storage the day after we bought it...

    Considering downsizing from A to B for an LTV

    Morning everyone! Hope everyone is having a great week and ready for Thanksgiving! I wanted to pop on here and get some thoughts and opinions. The wife and I bought a 2023 Thor Palazzo nearly two years ago and it was a nightmare. After getting it fixed continuously it broke down again and...

    Downsizing Trucks and Upgrading Trailers: New England RVers Share Experiences

    Hello everyone! We recently traded in a Keystone Avalanche 295RK 5th wheel for a new 2025 GD Reflection 322FKTS. We were amazed by how much better the new trailer's layout is than our 5th wheel's. We made the change due to downsizing our truck from a 1-ton diesel to a 3/4-ton gas due to all the...

    Question About Downsizing

    My family currently owns a Keystone Avalanche 390DS that measures in at 43 feet. After full timing for a while and towing it from North Carolina to Los Angeles and back to TX, we're looking into downsizing to something that isn't so restrictive and difficult to tow. We're currently looking at...

    Are we the only ones?

    We recently have taken out our king size mattress, cut down the base and replaced it with a queen, (same Serta mattress we have in our home). All our friends who are RVers think we are crazy. So are we the only ones to downsize?

    Maneuverability 34' vs 42' 5th wheel

    We have a 42.5' 5th wheel. I've been in about 40 parks and about 15K miles under my belt. I've conquered some tight challenging spots and turns. One of the worst is turning into my neighborhood without blocking/holding up traffic. For those of you who have gone from a short to a long 5th...

    Change is in the air…

    After my hunting trip to Leslie Gulch, I came away pretty disappointed. A little bit with the fellow campers, but mostly at myself for my inability to be organized and comfortable with the dogs and myself in the popup. The short story is I am selling my ATC Cougar, and have ordered a high...

    Just love my new Vista Cruiser

    It's the little things.... I've been RVing for decades, from a 10ft popup, to a 19ft Roo hybrid, to a 31ft Sabre 5th wheel and then a 36ft Cougar 5h wheel and finally a 2022 Jayco Greyhawk 29ft Class C. Now wanting to take it easy and relax, I've just taken delivery of a brand new 2026 Vista...

    Winnebago View or Tiffin Wayfarer or?

    We are downsizing from 33 ft. Class A to approx. 26 ft. Class C. Mostly because we don't intend to take long trips any longer and we want to get into state parks and smaller campgrounds. But we would like to tow. We are looking at the View and Wayfarer. Do you have any thoughts...

    Thinking about switching from our Bigfoot to a 5.0TA

    Hey all, I was very active a few years back when we had a 2019 E21 which we bought new. Wife was working at the time and we moved up to a bigger 2021 25RT Bigfoot, which is a wonderful camper but larger. We are in the process of buying a new truck and we started thinking about a smaller...
