Also been thinking about building my own class-c if I could find a decent chassis. Mostly because i think it could be a fun winter project.

We borrowed a 30 foot RV for our bike trip across the Blue Ridge Parkway and it ended up costing $1000 for fuel. How do people afford to drive these things?When you look at the cost of having in a trailer park for a season $3-$6k depending on location and amenities. Some people only use it 2-3 times a year, so it's cheaper to drive it, rather than keep it in the same park. Plus a lot cheaper than having a cottage! My Dad has an A class. But he vacations in the US mostly, so gas is cheaper.

We plan on buying a motorhome when I retire in the next few years and exploring North America in it . I've been doing some research and there are so many options, but we are coming up with a plan.I think I might make my own thread when I get serious about it, but right now we're thinking Barbie dream machine camper

Friends of ours are doing a trip to Newfoundland this summer and want us to go with them. They plan on camping out with a few hotels in between. If we decide to go we will be renting a class-c motor home. The RV outfit up the road from us has one in a Promaster chassis that looks good and is pretty self contained. They're not cheap to rent though and ridiculously expensive to buy. Friends of our wanted to buy one a couple of years ago but thought they were too much money. They ended up getting a brand new Class A motor home for less money!

So, we own this now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqnqntTFk3UCan't wait. Paid $21k out the door so I think we got a fantastic price for this unit. Our unit is a tiny little different, has a restaurant style spray faucet, tiling behind the stove with LED backlighting, and a more current colour scheme.
Cool, Congrats. Is it new? By chance, is what you paid what it was advertised at?
Congrats. About the size I am looking at 21' - 26'. On my list, has to have U shaped dinette and bunks.
Congrats! Happy camping! You're in AB right? I mean Alberta...not "in AB" - that would be gross... Check out Kinbasket Lake...not like there aren't a ton of nice places I'm sure, but it's a beaut. Scenery is...what am I talking about...being a flatlander, all of BC/AB's mountainous region scenery is gorgeous, can't go wrong. If our trailer wasn't such a pig I'd be tempted to haul it out there like the last one.

We paid the marked down price of $19,999 and only taxes and levies on top. The MSRP was $26,995. Quote from: Solstice2006 on January 31, 2019, 02:29:16 pmCongrats. About the size I am looking at 21' - 26'. On my list, has to have U shaped dinette and bunks. You'll need a slide out for that configuration, look at the 24BHS GBA posted a few pages ago.
