Delightful, and very well organized presentation. Thank you.

Bought a new 31’ Winnebago C CLASS in 2000, lived in it w/my 2 Goldens for 2 yrs. LOVED it, but will get a used 24’ C class for my next RV living adventure in April 2025. I love the comfort they provide! ❤

Great video and a very candid overview of having a Class C RV. Thanks!

[janehargis]

Just saw this - nice video! I’ve done a ton of research, checked out a bunch of units at dealerships, have camped with a friend in their rig, but have never taken one camping on my own. Big learning curve ahead!
Most Class C’s either come with hydraulic leveling or offer it as an option these days. Even cheaper ones. It’s also easily added aftermarket. Without that, if you don’t find that elusive level spot it’s kind of like leveling a trailer, you need to use chocks.
Secondly, yep, that corner “queen” bed is awkward. I think maybe 20something newlyweds might do ok?There are many 25’ rigs that have island queen beds. The best quality Class C 25’ unit I’ve found manages to have a king sized Murphy bed! It’s called the Unity made by Leisure Travel Vans. Fabulous RV. Unfortunately the demand is so high that a year wait or more is the order of the day. Also, most every manufacturer of 25’ units make a twin bed version. The plus side there is longer mattresses and much more outside cargo space. The down side is that it permanently occupies half of your coach space so your living area feels much smaller. Last, going back to the Murphy, it’s easy to put it up and down, your bedding just disappears into the wall (in <45 sec) without having to make it pretty if you don’t want to. When the bed is up you have a sofa (or 2 recliners, but only in the Unity MBL that I’ve ever seen or read about.)
Thirdly, noise. From my experience it is straight up mitigated by more expensive builders. To be expected I guess. Airstream’s Atlas, Renegade’s Vienna, and LTV’s Unity are much, much quieter. Test drive them if you can. (There are more good manufacturers as well.)
Thanks for your great video and I’ll be following you!

Thank you for posting this video. My wife and I are looking at Class C RVs and plan to rent before we buy. This was very helpful.

Great video. The comment about the leg room for the driver was very helpful. I am 6'2' and a little larger than you. We owned a Travato. The Dodge van configuration was a miserable driving experience for me. I tolerated it because my wife loved that Class B. We had many problems and got rid of it. Problem solved. We are now towing a Winnebago Micro Mini with and F150 hybrid and it is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. All of your observations ring true.

Regarding the A/C leaking TLDR get dehumidifier &/or dehumidifier bag's Please Note don't require power to work.
All over your RV rig and put little more bathroom as well and one inside the refrigerator this will help A/C works more efficiently

Wow! Very informative and unbiased 👍🏼👏

[tommiddleton]

Outstanding content. Very helpful. Just the kind of information my wife and I needed to consider before renting a Class C. Well done!

[sanantoniotonight]

Very helpful video, I’m trying to decide between trailer and class A. You guys are so articulate, teachers? Bravo!

[mitchelldavis]

We love our 24f it's a thor just like yours

[GravInducedSleepTrac]

Good video however, there are different configurations of Class C's. There are many with an actual bedroom no need to break it down & put it up again everyday. Although you will likely have to be good with it being longer than 24ft. A 27ft to 32ft have very comfortable configurations with designated bedroom & as well it also has a shower that is separated from the toilet area. Jayco Greyhawk is a great layout if you want to see what that looks like.

[crittgolden]

Thanks for making a straight forward simple video full of information. Appreciate it very much!!

[gadgetgaz]

Hello from the UK! Great video and really helpful, thanks .

[amydelpiere]

A lot of good points. Excellent information for others looking to use an RV. I wouldn't let the lack of levelers dissuade people, however. Everyone should have a stack of leveler blocks with them while traveling. Use one, two, or three levels under your tires to even out lumpy campsites. Often, we find just looking for dips, holes, tree roots, etc. to avoid at the site evens us out and we don't need any blocks. Happy travels.

You guys are so adorable. Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

[SusanWaddleton]

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[markwilliams]

Thank you for all your info! I’m seriously thinking about buying one

[elizabethrose]

Great idea on renting. Oh great you discussed smoking while cooking. Thank you because my husband cannot stand smoke. Can I ask you lady to lady, do you turn off the water to soap up your hair? Because I have thick hair. I wash my hair 2-3 days.

[JuliaMcLean]

Thanks for all your good information 😊 great video 🚍
