I find the biggest drawback is the potable water.... and I hold 150 gallons... but I have to watch the use, with showering etc when I'm on a 6 day trip. Two out to track, two at the track, and two back home. I could go 7 days... but that's it.

Finding water and being able to hook up and get some is the biggest problem. But then - "the rig" is a little larger and is harder to just pull in some place. You can at least go to a camp/mobile site for the night - where I can't get in them.

The class A we borrowed held 100 gallons of fresh water. We were in it 6 days total, but topped the water off before we left the first campsite so really 5 days...and no showers on day 5 as we "camped" in a Pilot truck stop the night before and just headed home for 5 hours on day 5. So really just 4 full days with the two of us and two small dogs.

It still had about a half tank of water when we got home, probably because we were ultra conservative with water being newbies and afraid of running out.

This coach holds 55 gallons in fresh water tank. That will require more diligent topping off and conservation but shouldn't be an issue if we pay attention.

My head goes up into the skylight above the shower when I stand in it, so I can't see me spending any extra time in there. Get in, get clean, and get out... Plus there is only a 6 gallon water heater...that should limit the wife's shower time as well.

That was an issue we looked into for sure. From what I understand, most State parks won't let a Class A in over 30' in length, but Class Cs aren't restricted even though this unit is 32'9".

Heck, finding a campground space with the Class A pulling the open trailer (just over 60' long total) was difficult. This smaller rig should give us much more options in this regard.

We have great State campgrounds up her in OR and are totally spoiled! With that said, we are planning a multi state trip for next year and have found that all KOA's will fit my CC truck and 36' 5th wheel.

Years ago I took my travel trailer to the WA State GG's Show and we had a BBQ for all the Lat-g members that were there....great times! So I can see how having it at the track would be priceless!

Dan (conekiller 13) is always trying to get me to take the trailer to the track so they can have a 'get out of the weather' area. It never works with my schedule...maybe next season!

Enjoy the new toy at the track and on the road!
