Trying to decide on Best Class A Size for State and National parks

[Trying to decide on Best Class A Size for State and National parks]

Hi,

This is our second Class A  RV year. The short  local trips we took around Michigan and Indiana during our 1st year, led us to buy a second Class A that is a 2009 Fleetwood vs 2003 Newmar Dutch Star.  The Fleetwood is the same length  at 42' but has 3 slides and almost all of the wish list items for us to want become FL snowbirds next winter  so during a recent trip we scouted for and found a  4 month RV resort Rental and a replacement RV that is being shipped to us from FLA to MI in a couple of weeks. Time to ready our Newmar 2003 DS for sale.  

Top of Co-Captain Jody's wish list was 1 and a 1/2 bathrooms.   Separate washer and dryer ( not stacked )  and in general a much bigger floor plan inside. For me I get a tag  Axle  and 400 hp vs 350HP on a Spartan chassis vs Freightliner. and some electronics that the Newmar did not have. Full  motion sat dish , auto leveling, etc

Thanks for all of the comments.

We finally pulled the trigger on a 2006 Newmar Ventana 3330.  We also bought the Jeep Wrangler toad,  can’t wait for our first trip in March.  Our thought is to ramp up to summer traveling by staying relatively close to home.  We’re thinking multiple set ups and tear downs to get used to the coach and better understand what we can and can’t do with it.  So many button, switches, latches etc. 🤓
