Thanks Dennis and John for the replies
Gives me more to think about. After reading and considering all this advice, I have decided to mark off the B class; it's just to small. I have also marked off the pull type RV; I don't have the size truck to pull one and don't have the money to buy larger truck and RV, plus it's just too big. This is beginning to sound like a "Goldie Locks" story.
I thinking that a low mileage ('98to'04) 27' Lazy Daze Mid-bath MH with Ford V10 will be just right.
1. It's got enough power to pull steep grades and pull a toad or carry bike if I decide to go that route.
2. It will provide separate sleeping areas for kids (bunk over cab) & wife and I in rear lounge. (makes into double)
3. Rear lounge will be good place for kids to read, school work and big windows to look out while moving.
4. Small enough to park in most parks, stop at pull outs. ( if no toad).
The reason I keep going back to the Lazy Daze is it's the only one I know set up with a rear lounge/seating area that doubles as a sleeping area under 27'. Some Toyota RV's have that also but they are just a little too small.
Our tour start will be from Sept through April when US kids are in school so the parks should not be too crowded; I hope. Could someone give me some feedback on that thought? 40 years ago crowding wasn't to much of a problem but I think that has changed from what I read.
Thanks again.
