Hello, new member here

Thank you all for the welcome

I have a question for you experienced RVers'
I'm looking to take my 74 yr old mother around to see the sites she has always wanted to see. I just became disabiled a few years ago and am now able to take her. Which RV would be the best for us to travel around in? I need a bed in the back for her, but I can sleep in either a 2nd bed (twins), over cab, pull down, or a jack-knife couch.

Then MPG would be then next issue. I am guessing the Class A 30Ft & above is 5 or 6. The C Class 20 to 25Ft 8 to 10mpg.

Thank you for any input,
Chuck

If you want to see the scenery while driving down the road you can't beat the big windshield on a Class A. It would also be easier for your 74 yr old mother to get around in.


As for gas mileage my 35' Class A gets around 8 MPG as long as I keep the speed down.
