Thanks.
I would suggest a Class A, there's more room in them than a B or C. The one i have is a class A that will sleep 8, but like i said it's really weak behind the drive wheels.Before that i had a 28 ft. and even had to add bracing on the rear frame on it Most class A's have twins or full bed in rear, plus sleep over the drivers compartment, and usually a couch that folds down, which means sleeps 4 comfortable and 6 if you're really close friends.
One other thing is if you do have something over 30 ft. and you break down it in most cases cannot be towed with a wrecker, it will require a giant flatbed. That happened to my friend Jimmy Smith with his 34 ft'er, going to Super Chevy in Memphis this yr. it took 4 hrs. to get it and his inclosed trailer off the freeway inside Memphis city limits ( a rear hub lost the bearings and it shelled the axle gear).
Here's some pics. of the one i have for sale,it's a 1986, 35ft class A with a new crate 454 and 400 trans, less than 8,000 miles on them. 90% rubber and i'm having trouble to get $6,000.00 for it. I wouldn't tow anything heaver than my flatbed trailer with it without a lot of rear frame work.
