Thank you for not playing music while you talk. 💛 Also, thank you for suggesting and demonstrating the benefits of renting to learn what you like and don't like about a rig. So many people do ZERO due diligence and then post poor me videos.
Thank you for your kind words!!! we actually didn’t think we’d like it. And were very surprised to see how much we really did :-)
Delightful, and very well organized presentation. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Hope it was helpful to you!
Great video. The comment about the leg room for the driver was very helpful. I am 6'2' and a little larger than you. We owned a Travato. The Dodge van configuration was a miserable driving experience for me. I tolerated it because my wife loved that Class B. We had many problems and got rid of it. Problem solved. We are now towing a Winnebago Micro Mini with and F150 hybrid and it is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. All of your observations ring true.
Glad it was helpful!
Just saw this - nice video! I’ve done a ton of research, checked out a bunch of units at dealerships, have camped with a friend in their rig, but have never taken one camping on my own. Big learning curve ahead!
Most Class C’s either come with hydraulic leveling or offer it as an option these days. Even cheaper ones. It’s also easily added aftermarket. Without that, if you don’t find that elusive level spot it’s kind of like leveling a trailer, you need to use chocks.
Secondly, yep, that corner “queen” bed is awkward. I think maybe 20something newlyweds might do ok?There are many 25’ rigs that have island queen beds. The best quality Class C 25’ unit I’ve found manages to have a king sized Murphy bed! It’s called the Unity made by Leisure Travel Vans. Fabulous RV. Unfortunately the demand is so high that a year wait or more is the order of the day. Also, most every manufacturer of 25’ units make a twin bed version. The plus side there is longer mattresses and much more outside cargo space. The down side is that it permanently occupies half of your coach space so your living area feels much smaller. Last, going back to the Murphy, it’s easy to put it up and down, your bedding just disappears into the wall (in
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us all this. So helpful!
Thank you for posting this video. My wife and I are looking at Class C RVs and plan to rent before we buy. This was very helpful.
I’m so glad this was helpful to you! We found we like them far more than we thought we would.
Same! Thank you!
Good video however, there are different configurations of Class C's. There are many with an actual bedroom no need to break it down & put it up again everyday. Although you will likely have to be good with it being longer than 24ft. A 27ft to 32ft have very comfortable configurations with designated bedroom & as well it also has a shower that is separated from the toilet area. Jayco Greyhawk is a great layout if you want to see what that looks like.
Thanks! We were glad we tried one out. We are going with a trailer eventually but testing different kinds out is always a good idea before buying one!
Regarding the A/C leaking TLDR get dehumidifier &/or dehumidifier bag's Please Note don't require power to work.
All over your RV rig and put little more bathroom as well and one inside the refrigerator this will help A/C works more efficiently
Thanks for the ideas!
Great video and a very candid overview of having a Class C RV. Thanks!
Thanks! We tried to be completely honest!
Wow! Very informative and unbiased 👍🏼👏
Thank you :-) we really tried to be as thorough as possible because there may be others like us who have never used one before.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
My pleasure!
Thanks for all your good information 😊 great video 🚍
I’m so glad to hear it was helpful to you!
Very helpful video, I’m trying to decide between trailer and class A. You guys are so articulate, teachers? Bravo!
Our pleasure! We are not teachers but very comfortable with public speaking. We love trailers because you can park them, and then off road or explore with your vehicle in places where your RV could not go. Consider that?
@@TinCanTwosome good points. But at 66 I wonder if I have the patience to tow. Would love an airstream…..thanks for your reply!
@@sanantoniotonight5569 we are both 63. I think these days with newer rigs it goes much more easily. Our rig is vintage and a lot more work.
Thanks for making a straight forward simple video full of information. Appreciate it very much!!
You’re so welcome!
You guys are so adorable. Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Our pleasure!!!
Great idea on renting. Oh great you discussed smoking while cooking. Thank you because my husband cannot stand smoke. Can I ask you lady to lady, do you turn off the water to soap up your hair? Because I have thick hair. I wash my hair 2-3 days.
I would if you are at all worried about your water lasting long enough.
Super duper helpful!!!
Thank you!!!
Great video! Very informative
Thank you so much
Great information Thanks for the video
My pleasure 😇
Interesting comment on Florida. Yes. Florida has 3 seasons. Fall, Winter, Spring might amount to two seasons. Then there is HELL. Summer is hell. It can last from May thru October, and that definition is changing as the climate is. Getting hotter every year. Sebring winters used to get to freezing sometimes; now they mostly get to the 40s.
Explained very well!
Thanks!
Thank you! Very useful information!
I’m so glad it was helpful to you!
A lot of good points. Excellent information for others looking to use an RV. I wouldn't let the lack of levelers dissuade people, however. Everyone should have a stack of leveler blocks with them while traveling. Use one, two, or three levels under your tires to even out lumpy campsites. Often, we find just looking for dips, holes, tree roots, etc. to avoid at the site evens us out and we don't need any blocks. Happy travels.
Great point! We have those same blocks for our trailer and use them whenever we need to.
Thank you for all your info! I’m seriously thinking about buying one
I’m so glad it was helpful to you! A truly unbiased opinion video.
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! I hope it was helpful.
Good video ,thank you a lot!
My pleasure 😇
We love our 24f it's a thor just like yours
Nice! Ours was only a rental though!
With your A/C issues, have you thought about trying out a Portable A/C Unit that you can just stick in a corner, and have a way to vent it to the outside ? They make the portable units today that are quite robust, and can easily cool off most every Class C RV.
That’s a great idea! We won’t be buying a class C but it’s still a great idea for all types of rvs!
@@TinCanTwosome I am getting ready to purchase a used Class C, but will not be keeping it very long. My intention is to make the purchase, do a few upgrades, and improvements, then flip it for profit, and use the proceeds to purchase a retired box type Ambulance to convert into my Tiny home on wheels. The Ambulance is a much safer platform to convert because they are built out of strong Aluminum, and built in such a way that they will actually with stand being T boned, and rolled, and as long as you land back on the wheels, you can drive away safely with nothing more than maybe a few dings, and scratches here, and there. They already have great insulation all throughout, as well as heat/AC, and 120 Volt Electricity installed, so 95% of the hard work is already done for you. They are a bit smaller than a Class C, but they have an unbelievable amount of Storage, both inside, and out.
@@kevinswinyer3176 wow! What a great idea! Bob Wells of CheapRVLiving.com does Exactly that!
Nice video, you didn't say if it is ducted air a lot more quiet, we are trading up from class B to a class c for more room bought 26ft
I’m sorry, I don’t know if it was ducted air or not. I’m not really sure what that means.
@@TinCanTwosome like central or just blasting from one spot.
@@franchotlee from the ceiling aircon unit.
If I rented the small RV from Ford Econoline, should I need a class C California drivers 🪪?
I’m so sorry but I really don’t know. Maybe call the DMV?
@@TinCanTwosome good idea.
Have you rented a Class A?
Not yet. Hope to do so soon.
@@TinCanTwosome I lived in a small car for a year with a large dog many years ago. I am considering RV life; my preference would be to own a lot in an RV park.
recreation is on the back burner for most americans now, its just not easy to do any of this in a rotten economy. we are in serious times.
Agreed. But it’s all about what we prioritize. We drive old cars. We don’t take cruises. We prioritize exploring. And adventures!
