These Class C’s seem to be the best little Motorhome for extensive touring – particularly where your “driving to living/parking” ratio is very high. I personally don’t think that two people could really live in these long term “in-place” without a HEAVY outdoor/travel component. One person I think could do it very well.

But the extra money for the diesel makes sure that this unit is really best used on the move – touring the country and staying only for a day-or-five and then moving along.

These would also make a good mobile hunting/fishing RV for the avid outdoorsman.

List of features that rv52 noted :

Whose first Class A? Well this is the FIRST Class A Motorhome that RV52 has put into the review list. RV52 is committed to “no talk” video walk thru reviews which give people a quick look at RV’s PRIOR to going shopping. We believe you can check out specs and all that business on the web, but by seeing the unit, like you would when you walk through, you can decide if you want to make the drive to a dealer. Up until THIS article, we’ve only really thought about travel trailers or fifth wheels.

These Class A’s are amazing. When you walk into your first one, even if it isn’t a HIGH end Class A, they look amazing compared to a travel trailer or fifth wheel – even high end Mobile Suites fifth wheels for example.

Most floor plans are bedroom in the back and steering wheel in the front. So differentiation is going to be on floor plan that much. No it will probably be on engine size and type, level of features, towing, hauling capacity, vertical size (cubic square feet), other high-end features (like leveling system) and the number of slide-outs.

Anyway, let us know what you think of our first Class A Motorhome.

List of features that rv52 noted :

• Three slide outs – one is a MEGA long slide-out
• Tag Axle
• 425HP Diesel Engine
• Walk-in shower and bathroom
• 1.5 baths – The 1/2 bath is for the guests

It is a for-pay site. Our PUMA RV we sold just using craigslist, but craigslist is somewhat limited by geography.

Of course I have the link on the front page of RV52.com.

But I thought it would be fun to try rvtraderonline and see how it works.

Would love to hear about peoples experiences using RVtraderonline. Why don’t you leave a comment.

I’ll send a $20 starbucks gift card to the most interesting comments (determined by me) (won’t be a friend so only NEW people will be eligible) from folks who have had experience with RVtraderonline. In fact, put your ads URL in your comment and I promise not to filter it out. I’ll give everyone 2 or 3 weeks to comment.

I really like the “V” on these V-Cross travel trailers. That extra little bit of space makes the unit seem, and this sounds funny to say, substantially larger. This is a really livable unit and has a great appointment and spaces for bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. As RV’s go, it looks like you’d wouldn’t feel near as cramped in this unit as a comparable 25 footer.

I wonder why the “V” design isn’t more common? Does Forest River own a patent on it? Do YOU guys know?

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

• One slide out
• Rear Master Bedroom
• Front Bathroom in the “V”
• Electric Jack
• horseshoe kitchen table (seats more peeps)

This is really just swapping a popular bunkhouse floor plan such that the bunkhouse is in the front and the master bedroom is in the back. I have a HUNCH that Komfort did this so that the weight of the bedroom slide-out balances out the unit a little better and it doesn’t make the bumper hitch too heavy.

Its a really nice floor plan and Komfort has a nice design (like airstream somewhat) for their interiors.

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

• Two slide outs
• Rear Master Bedroom + slideout
• Electric Jack
• Freestanding Dinette (means you can do more with that space)

This is one of best equipped Puma’s I’ve seen. Normally, I don’t look too hard at the carrying capacity of the RV’s. I’ve seen it go as low as 500 pounds, which is crap, and in the toy haulers upwards of 2.5 tons.

I just happened to glance at the specs on this travel trailer and was amazed to see that it could carry OVER 4,600 pounds of ‘stuff’. That doesn’t sound like much, but for the full-timers, it allows them to slowly accumulate stuff without really worrying about going over weight. Our fifth wheel has a 1600 pound capacity so I don’t worry too much, but that is nothing compared to this travel trailer. I would say this is extraordinary.

I love that they have the “cubby” bunkhouse in the back AND the bathroom. This means that vacationing with the kiddo’s will be much easier. The horseshoe kitchen table allows extra folks to sit at the table and that is worth a great deal.

Since our first RV was a Puma we view them as a solidly built, if a little bit dull, RV which is pretty tough. The specs on this unit make me think that is still true.

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

• One slide out
• Rear Bathroom
• Bunkhouse
• Horseshoe dinette design
• NOTEWORTHY : over 4,600 lbs of carrying capacity

The Komfort line from Dutchmen is just a good looking RV line. These look great with their smooth sided exteriors and molded (at least it looks molded) front caps with a really unique color.

Dutchmen and even their Komfort line does a good job of not making the bathroom so it separates any part of the RV square footage from another and this unit is no different from that solid philosophy.

I think the rear kitchen floor plan is a good plan for the people who really make cooking a more central part of their lives. Other than that, the floor plan doesn’t do anything really different with the space but I think the rear kitchen gives more room for the kitchen and also sort of makes it so that the kitchen “owns” an end of the RV. This really wouldn’t be true if the kitchen was in the  center part of the RV.

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

• One slide out
• Rear Kitchen
• Electric Jack
• Really cool dinette design
