Need recommendation for good Class C's

[brooksr]

We're getting back on the road after being off for 13 years.  Last time was FT'ing in a Tiffin Allegro Bay, this time will be snowbirding in a class C.  We did like our Allegro Bay a lot, but need something easier to drive.

We could use help finding the good C manufacturers who care about their customers and stand behind their products.  We've been reading many posts about poor quality, leaks, unresponsive manufacturers, RV's tied up in service for weeks or months.

Hope some of the experience folk here can point us in the right direction.  So far a lot of people like their Lazy Daze, but there aren't many on the market.  Wrote to see what the lead time is.  Entegra seems it like might be a better brand.  There must be others.

We want gas, something large enough to live in for several months (28'+?), brown/tan interior, larger frig (12 cu ft), leveling jacks, awning, 1+ slides, queen bed, no step up bedrooms, generous clothes closets/drawers, enough counter space to prepare meals, ~32" TV, pull out pantry preferred.

Appreciate any suggestions/advice.

Welcome to the forum. 

Hearer is a good choice for a gas coach.

If you want easey to drive I would look at this one. I have a friend who loves his with Comfort drive. He is full time at 90.

Thanks for the post, Bill.

Any suggestions for class C?

Not a C fan. Most don't have enough towing capacity or CCC to be useful. You said "We want gas, something large enough to live in for several months" I don't see a C that would work for living comfortably in.

Jayco is a good brand.

We have a 2021 Forester 3051S. We have not had any major issues with it, and the dealer has been mostly helpful with solving the few issues that popped up. Ride Rite suspension, lane assist and factory sway bar have made this church very easy to drive. We have plenty of towing capacity and tow our CR-V often.

I purchased a used Thor Quantum WS31, I am extremely pleased with it.it came with a 100 watt solar panel with a in coach control panel. We gave up our king bed in our Integra, but happy with the queen and dual night tables for our cpap’s. The TV is straight facing to two recliners. Overhead bunk is spacious and can be used for storage or grandkids. The amount of storage is tremendous. My wife said a women must have designed the interior . It has a towing  capacity of 8000 lbs. we tow our CR-V seamlessly. The E450 ford V-8 engine provides sufficient power, and most importantly my wife will drive the class C. We just spent 6 months living in it, including 52 day safari to Alaska and 30 days throughout Canada. My only negative is the small black and grey holding tanks.
