I have owned two Class B’s (first and current, a 21’ Class C and both an E350 Vegas and E450 Axis. While the E350and 450 are “essentially van chassis” they really fill in between the Class C’s and F-53 chassis Motorhomes like the ACE and larger. Chance’s point about giving up the separate bedroom for a 21’ long 6.75 Class B which I can park in a regular parking space and drive in a city, is exactly why I just traded my Axis (I had a Vegas and Axis for 6 years) for a Travato on a Dodge Promaster chassis. I loved my Vegas and Axis and took them on 3 and 4 month trips to Alaska, out west and to Canada. We no longer go on multi month trips in our RV, but we still enjoy traveling between our homes in Key Largo and
Nova Scotia and visiting the National Parks and sights along the way. We are willing to give up the space and storage of the Axis for the easier driving and traveling aspects of a Class B. The new Class B’s like the Winnebago Travato and Thor Sequence are much different than my 2005 Pleasureway both in their use of interior space and upgraded amenities. So far, the trade down has worked well for us. We will have a better idea after I first trip back to Nova Scotia in May.
