Now, go find a diesel pusher that you like the floor plan. Your braking concerns will disappear. Then when you get over the 50+ mph area, your comfort level will increase, especially the amount of engine noise you have in a front engine gasser.. You won't be yelling in a conversation. Safe Travel-Have Fun.
Good driving, both of you! Definitely different in a Class A. The view is fantastic. My first and, so far, only experience driving a Class A was team driving my parent’s rig from Hemet, CA to Port Townsend, WA with my uncle and brother-in-law. I took the first leg from Hemet to somewhere along I-5 North. Easy to drive. The only dicey part on that leg was an overpass somewhere around LA where it seemed we were about a mile in the air on a narrow ribbon of concrete. Added to how high one is in a bus, it seemed very precarious! Thanks for the great videos! Enjoying them and your search for a new rig immensely!
I have traveled around the country in a Winnebago 27n class A. The breaking was always a concern for me until I realized if you engage the tow haul, even when not towing, It will stop twice as fast as it down shifts coming up to the stop sign or light. Every time I was in traffic I would engage the tow haul and then was comfortable with the stopping capabilities of the MH.
I would get that same class A in a diesel. Would last longer, less engine noise, worth the extra money in the long run like your F-250. God Bless, be safe, and excited when you finally decide on the new rig. 🇺🇸
Thank you for the comparison between driving a Class C and a Class A. We are in the process of buying a used Class A but we haven't driven it yet. Knowing both of you feel it is easier to drive the Class A (except for the braking distance) comforts me in my decision to buy a used Class A.
I bought a DP (36 ft) from General in Tampa this spring. Drove it from Tampa to Ocala on the first day (never having driven one before!). I set off the lane departure a LOT in that couple of hours. But after that, got used to where the coach needed to be in the lane. I love driving it now. I really debated going with something smaller, but don't regret my choice at all now. Good luck with your decision!!
I enjoyed that you went through the range of emotions I did when i first drove the Foretravel Gasser. But after driving my Fleetwood Bounder, there was no comparison and bought the 2008 Fleetwood Bounder 38V Turbo Diesel. Air ride, air brakes and engine in the rear where you simply do not hear any engine noise! My 37,000 rig gets 10.5 - 11 mpg which is significantly better than a gasser! I can also tow 15,000 pound tow vehicle like it is not even there. My 2008 does not use DEF (fuel additive) and instead collects the diesel emission particulates and incinerates them in a special operation. Cleanly and efficiently. PLEASE consider buying a Diesel. Dont write off the pre-2009 models which do not require DEF and are better built than a 2023 0r 24 model!
Class A is awesome to drive!! We have an 04 Intruder and love driving it. Just have to remember it is big but adjust to knowing its big, slow down a little sooner, and its a great ride!
Love this thumbnail you guys! "Am I driving it right?" LOL! 🤣 "I could have a whole dinner" Hahaha! 😂 You guys did really great driving that. We missed the class C video. We will have to go back and watch. Jim & Michelle
I know the first time I drove a large truck, it was intimidating. What I would do is split the lane in two and would keep myself on the left side of the lane until I got comfortable driving it. Seemed to help me.
We have a Tiffin red 37 BA it is incredible! It’s much quieter than our Hurricane gas motor home and so much less work than the 2022 Imagine bumper pull we had. We get to a campsite, do a quick check. Then my husband goes in and pushes one button and we are level. Let out the slides and thats it. If it’s raining, we don’t even hook up yet- that can be done later. Everything is self contained. We flat tow our Jeep grand Cherokee using an NSA ready brute two with surge brake. Takes maybe two minutes to hook and unhook. Also a neck light lets me crochet or read at night and it doesn’t bother my husband . The light is directed downwards, and when I turn to look at him it doesn’t flash him in the face like a headlamp would. 😂
It definitely gives a little piece of mind knowing you can see down the side of the class A. Unlike the class c. Can't wait to see what you guys decide on.
Stan was right. I use my tow/haul mode at all times. I have a 07 Bounder(gas). It helps with pickup and slowing for a stop. I think y’all will enjoy and it won’t take no time to getting use to driving it. Can’t wait to see what you pick 😜😜
I loved driving my small class A. It was a Thor Vegas 24.1. I’d probably still have it if it had a bigger bathroom. I rented a class C but hated stepping up into the living area and the passenger side is tight with that big doghouse. I have a truck and travel trailer now (had to see how it worked for me) but looking for a small class A again. The only thing I didn’t like was some poor visibility on the passenger side with any crossroad that was at an angle, or for example those exit ramps in Texas where you are merging with traffic coming in from the right. But I’m a solo traveler. If you have a passenger, they can watch for that. I’m just planning to add a ring doorbell or something to have a better view on that side.
We have a 2007 32' Coachman class A. Towing a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Since you are sitting higher up than most vehicles you can see what's coming up better. Allowing you to start slowing down earlier. That way you don't feel like the vehicle isn't going to stop. Believe me, you CAN do emergency stops too. Like when the light changes too quick. KUTGW
I’m glad you are testing driving and comparing the two class A and C to see which you like better to drive. That’s a great way to decide which you like better. Are you going to test some diesel pushers out? Cant wait yo see what you decide to get. See you soon have a great week!
Awesome video !! We have a Class A Newmar Canyon Star, 38’ Gas motorhome, love driving a class A. We had a 32’ Class C Thor Quantum before the Newmar. No where near as fun to drive. You do need to check out the gas stations and other things before committing but other than that it’s awesome !!
That was so cool seeing her drive. My wife was absolutely horrified! We even took a driving class. We have the Class A diesel pusher. It does ride very nice. We flat tow our car behind us. We average 65 mph at about 1600 rpm. Hills are a breeze! Coming down a small mountain the first time I absolutely fell in love with the engine brake. It made a huge difference! Good luck in whatever you buy. We are definitely Class A people. 🙂
We bought a used Fleetwood Bounder for retirement. It's a solid coach. We travel with 2 dogs. 1 1/2 baths, i take a lot of potty breaks😂! It handled Virginia and Pennsylvania great. A little nerve wracking up and down the mountains. My husband has done upgrades to suspension & shocks, big difference now. We live it! 35k great floorplan. Look at older well taken care of models. The inly thing negative is the upholstery peeling on many models. General RV provided new captain seats. I covered dinette seats with mini crib sheets, and thriw blanket in the couch. Natalie you did awesome driving!😊😊
I have a 2019 35k. My L shaped sofa is perfect condition. No peeling. We are replacing because we want recliners. I’ll be selling my L shaped sofa inexpensive
I work for an RV dealership. The class A diesels are the easiest to drive, but more expensive to buy and maintain. Class A gas would be next because of a heavier duty chassis. The class C wallows and rocks more because of the van chassis being usually a 450 or 550 duty. You’ll get used to the gasoline A if you decide to go that way. Personally I think you’ll be happier is some version of an A class coach. Should you desire to look at a preowned diesel, The Motorcoach Store in Bradenton is a good resource. Ask for Brad. Good hunting.
Lol, wait till you dive it on the interstate with trucks passing or you get a 30 mgh wind gusting. You will wish you had a pusher or liquid springs on it. We love our class a gasser, but we did put liquid springs on it.
These are built on a Ford F53 chassis, yes ? Weldtec Designs out near San Diego makes a suspension kit for these that basically fixes all their bad habits. They have a TH-cam channel and have already made a video about this. Worth looking into.
Hey Guys If you are serious and end up with a class A or any of the bus style Rigs we will personally come down and give you all the driving lessons and tip I have got over my years in the trucks & Buses. ( I was a in service trainer for many years) We will even bring the Peterbuilt down and let you bobtail it around. Happy Hunting 🙂🙂👋👋‼️ PS...it's not near as hard as you may think
I’ve always thought that a Class C would be easier to drive, until now. Guess experiencing it for real in real time is an eye opener. I do have concerns though about the breaking issue. That would scare me cause in real world driving being able to rely on stopping can be very important.
Yes for that reason we will go and try a Diesel also as many commenters have said that the breaking is better. and even if we do end up with a gasser I think we will have to do a lot of upgrades around the breaking and suspension!
I believe the original reason you sold the travel trailer was to have enough funds to take care of your dog (Jacks(?)). How is your dog doing now? Have heard anything about him. Happy Camper shopping.
I do apologise, we put an update on FB and Instagram and completely forget to post on here, I have now added an update to our community page. Next weeks video we will also include an update in the video itself. Thankyou do much for checking in on him, we appreciate it!
Have it inspected by an independent inspector and not someone that the dealer knows, But the first problem I see is on the front passenger side windshield bottom the black goop is coming out.
I’m always curious about what Americans think of your accents. Encourage them to speak back to you in a British accent and you’ll find that the interactions are hilarious. The main problem you may have is the need for incontinence pads! 😂😅 Do it, do it! Life should be fun🏴🇬🇧🏴
I can never see myself getting a class A gasser ever. Being I like to drive mountain hwys, vs always the flat lands, I know gassers r cheaper but on every steep hill descend i thank god i got a diesel engine brake truck. Man that winni rattles eh! Lol 🍻
Comparing your Class C test drive to this test drive, I could hear much more noise. I'm unable to tell whether the noise is rattling or road noise (a lot of clicking sounds). Your comments on braking are appreciated.
@@KC-pd1dh I mean the nerves were so over whelming I didn’t really notice. I need to faff with the seating adjustments and see if I can get my heel down
@@BrazenBritsWe tow a Escape PHEV the difference in savings on the car gas mpg/mpge makes up for the gas in the RV mpg. We upgraded this year from a TT to a 33' gasser and love it.
If your 2014 Explorer is 2-wheel drive with the 3.5 or 3.7 it can be flat towed. I know someone who has one and he tows it flat (wait that's me). From 2020 to now, you can no longer flat tow a Ford Explorer.
2014 ford explorer sport 4WD so we assumed no and then a friend sent us this from the manual “Vehicles Equipped with a 3.5L or 3.7L Engine. You can tow your all-wheel drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground or with all four wheels off the ground using a vehicle transport trailer. Do not tow your all-wheel drive vehicle with the front wheels off the ground (by using a tow dolly) and the rear wheels on the ground”
My wife would panic Driveing a Class A, Like if she would be Pilotesting a Cessna 172 She doesn't even drive our 26 ft Class C, But she does drive my Nissan Xterra Pro 4X, So I recently down graded to a Jayco jay flight SLX 154bh, I hope she doesn't panic with this little thing.
Do you hear all the plastic creaking and rubbing in the background? That will get old really fast going down the road. We drive a Volvo 860 pulling our 5th wheel. Way quieter and better fuel mileage than these things get. And don’t even think about what might happen if you get in an accident with these.
Why on earth do you need something that huge? I don't know what it costs, but it sounded like it was built with a staple gun. So much engine noise and the creaking and that was on good roads = cheap n nasty.
i so hope you didnt buy this. get a 20 year old diesel pusher class A. he said "this feels natural". yep. wait till you hit your first [whatever]. it will happen, i promise. edit: nice "engine noise".
EVERY PERSON, that buys one..SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL LICENSE, ( just like Truckers do) be tested by state d.m.v. & a SKILLS TEST BEFORE. They can drive one. Most People I see driving them , ARE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN

Do you hear all the plastic creaking and rubbing in the background? That will get old really fast going down the road. We drive a Volvo 860 pulling our 5th wheel. Way quieter and better fuel mileage than these things get. And don’t even think about what might happen if you get in an accident with these.
Nice job to both...This could be the future home of a couple of Tits!! - Jody

I have ONLY owned a class A and it will take an act of G-d to get anything else

That thing is a rattle bucket.
Why on earth do you need something that huge? I don't know what it costs, but it sounded like it was built with a staple gun. So much engine noise and the creaking and that was on good roads = cheap n nasty.
i so hope you didnt buy this. get a 20 year old diesel pusher class A. he said "this feels natural". yep. wait till you hit your first [whatever]. it will happen, i promise. edit: nice "engine noise".
Nope we’ll be trying diesel pushers soon!

try a better class A
@@tomdowney7519 any suggestions ?
EVERY PERSON, that buys one..SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL LICENSE, ( just like Truckers do) be tested by state d.m.v. & a SKILLS TEST BEFORE. They can drive one.
Most People I see driving them , ARE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
I absolutely agree, you would never be able to drive something like this in the UK without a special license. 👍
