Thanks for the input. Lots to think about. For the most part I'll be by myself or with 1 other, so I don't need to sleep a bunch of peopl.e
Sometimes it is more complicated than that, even for one person.
For an example, there are places where I may want to stop for the night, but I don't want to put out my slides and make it obvious I am staying there for a while. Such as in the southeast where they do NOT allow overnight stops in rest stop (includes Florida). My Class A is good to sleep 8 people in four beds. But I can only use ONE of the four possible beds without my slides out. And that one bed is an option. I have a bed that comes down from on top of the cab seats by a press of a button. It is the ONLY bed I can use without my slides out.
About options, keep that in mind when you find the same model RV at two different prices. My new Class A has every option possible, which is not always good. It reduces the load capacity as it increases the price.
My new motorhome can be found for 25K$ cheaper. But will not have the above bed, the double door large refrigerator, tankless water heater, three TVs, and a lot of small stuff, such as extra pop-out AC/USB outlets and other stuff.
BTW, I purchased three RVs in my life and all of them had a tire problem of some type. In fact, four tire issues in three RVs. One thing I strongly recommend is to bring a tire gauge with you and also find the sticker inside the RV for the tire PSI. DO NOT listen to a salesman!
1. My first RV from a used RV dealer. Less than 30 lbs in all six wheels (should be 80 psi).
2. 2nd RV. Bad rubber tire stem on front right tire. Had 15 lbs in that tire (should also be 80 psi).
3. New 2022 RV. One of the rear tires could not me measured. The extender on the inner tire wasn't letting air in or out.
4. New 2022 RV. Sticker says 82 psi max in all tires at the full load capacity. Every tire had 105 PSI in them, as the same but much larger and heavier model should have with the same tire. They see the same tire and think it should be filled the same. They don't read the stickers, so you have to do it.
Don't even drive it off the lot without checking the sticker and tires. Regardless if buying new or used. So bring a tire gauge and if it has rubber stems, check those carefully. BTW, I think only Class C's and lighter will have rubber stems on the tires. Class A's use RV tires--more like a truck tire and are not made so cheaply with a rubber stem.
