[EA37TS]

Going back 10 years:

28 foot class c. Travelled well and we enjoyed it for a few years. After a two week trip we decided we wanted something larger for long trips so we upgraded to the Challenger 37ND in February 2015.

The challenger served us well for a number of years but since the DW retired a few years ago and I am retiring in about 6 or 7 months we decided we wanted something that we could put some miles on and could be driven without ending the day tired so now we are in the Accolade 37TS Super C.

The biggest issue to date in a reduction in storage space. We lost some cubic feet of storage space going to the Super C as well as giving up our outdoor kitchen. We also lost the electric fireplace which was nice on cool mornings, however, we are considering removing a couch and putting a fireplace in that location.

The pros to the change are better drivability and handling, more comfortable ride (rear air suspension) air brakes and exhaust brake. We now have a combo washer dryer (contributed to decreased storage space) and a couch and theater seating (couch may go for fireplace). We also have 12k of towing capacity if we want to take a trailer loaded with toys which we couldn't do with the other rigs.

Did we downsize, no, but we now have the added safety of the Class C cab versus flat front Class A, and easier to maintain chassis (any Freightliner dealer). We also have increased power and performance as well as a more comfortable ride.

May not be what you expected but we did go from C to A to C (Super).
