I am looking at purchasing my first RV.
I am looking for something in the 22'-28'length range.
It will be used for hunting, camping and towing my 4X4.
I will spend about a month per year in this RV so I am not a fulltimer.
I will be towing a 8k lb trailer with it for several hundred miles a couple times a year through the mountains of Colorado to get to Utah. I know I will need a 454 or 460 CI engine. I can't afford a pusher diesel so that is out . I am wondering if a class A is really that much better than a class C unit. I am looking at units that have a rear axle set back more than most due to the tongue weight it will carry. I like certain features of each design. Of course being able to safely tow an 8k lb trailer is the main priority. I would like to hear from people out there who tow with one or the other or better yet have towed with both. Pluses minuses thoughts and concerns and items I might need to look for while shoppping for my first RV. As well as what RV you use. I am well versed on tranny coolers and having it prewired for trailer brakes.
Thanks
Darrell
