    Wow! What a revelation on a class C chasis. My beloved is 6'4", and we are considering a class C possibly in future, in order not to have to hitch and dehitch a trailer. Really interested in finding a class C with a comfortable chasis and shower. We have a Ford F-250 Super duty truck now, and the seating is really roomy. Really surprising that an E-450 Ford chasis is so confining like a box truck van's. That is a deal breaker for us. Otherwise, we actually liked the rest of the class C, although would prefer a second jack-knife sofa or washer dryer instead of the large dinette.

    The decor is lacking, but like Jenn I understand, however, I love the generous amount of storage space. The lack of space in the passenger seat is crazy when they say it's a family unit. The passenger and driver MUST be short legged, and what are the odds on that ? I see it as a perfect rv for a sole traveler with a large dog. THANKS for sharing.

    Your reviews are simply the best. I feel you guys view these coaches as I would. My parents were dealers from 1965 until 1995 and Jen reminds me so much of my mother checking out new units (she picked the units to stock) and exhibited the same enthusiasm for new ideas and decor. They were Coachmen dealers when it was Coachmen in Pennsylvania. Keep up the great work.

First RV that had a decent shower and was able to travel with. Finally got my true RV full time home. A 2000 Fleetwood Bounder 36S. Best motorhome ever. Had it til 2018 when I downsized to a 28' baby Class A and at age 92 this will be my last one. I will never leave it til I am forced to due to injury or illness, but never because of age. Doris

    What you don’t know is that not only is that front cramped but in the passenger extremely hot on that floor and burns your feet on long trips of about an hour to two hours. I kept complaining to hubby how hot and uncomfortable it was, we ended up going back to a class A where we both can be more comfortable and not cramped. Most of the class C’s are going to be cramped and floor gets hot. Don’t know how they can fix these issues, but it would be more pleasant if they could.

    Hi from Maine. We are looking at purchasing a Class C. I would love to see a comparison of the Leprechaun 230FS and the Jayco 24B. I would love to hear your review between the Chevy and the Ford Chassis on these Class C RVs. Boy, I was surprised to see the lack of leg/foot room in the cab area. I really like the the fact that Jayco has the one piece over cab area for less leaks due to less seams. I love the large openings of the Coachman windows vs the Jayco windows may be large but do not open up very far. Thank you for all of the wonderful information you two are sharing with all of us! Happy Camping.

      I'm from R.I. I drive for a car service company. We have had Sprinters more years than the Ford Transits. The Sprinter has more room on the driver's side. The only negative was the hand ebrake. Now it's moved to the dashboard. The driver's side floor seems wider. A little tighter with the Transit. I can't say much about the Chevy or Ford E350 or E450. There is the doghouse over the engine.
