New to this RV lifestyle. My wife and I along with three small children. (all under age of 5) are looking for a Class C to take family vacations with. We are partial to the bunk bed option. We have been looking at Jayco Greyhawk and Nexus Phantom. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

Nikemikey,

Have you considered a travel trailer or toy hauler pulled with a crew cab pickup, suv, suburban, van or navigator type vehicle ? You'll get a lot more for your money plus you will have a vehicle to take day trips with to sight see.

A toy hauler allows you to carry bicycles and other toys conveniently to keep the troops entertained through out the trip.

Once you practice towing a trailer, they are as easy to drive as a Class C.

Whatever type of RV you choose tyr to find a floor plan where the bathroom isn't next to the master bed. A lot of Class C's are setup with the bathroom and master bedroom areas combined. That means anytime one of the little ones needs to go...you get to wake up. Some of the toy haulers have a toilet and sink in the garage/kids sleeping area for the kids to use and a full bath in the master bedroom area for the parents.

I haven't but it is definitely something to look at. Thanks for the advice!

Check truck conversion Motorhomes or Super C's

Thanks Gene. I looked at some. Really nice, just out of our price range.
