Yes sir
We rented a 40' Gas Forest River and a Discovery or whatever it was called and they both were big, they were stressful to drive primarily because they were not mine. I got like 3.9 mpg and was pushed by big trucks despite it's size. But my biggest beef was how hot it was and how all rental owners had these exorbitant fees if you ran the generator which was needed for AC. I never understood that.
At the same time my brother owned a Class B Sprinter. Very nice rig, but I will never forget we were with them one very hot day and he had trouble keeping that thing cool. every time the door open, you basically had to restart the cool down. His wife and kids were also inside and she was doing something in the galley area, everyone was packed in like sardines, so I made my way to the front passenger seat, after 10 minutes, I knew then that Class B and Class A was out for me.
We went after TMC Class C 28Z, I loved it and the floor plan, but learned of the Class C Quantum that TMC was saying was upgrade. So we go to MHSRV to see one and while the wife and I were inside it started to rain and rain hard it did; we saw at least 4 leaks
Frustrated, we looked at other coaches because MHSRV has everything. Then I saw the ACE 29.3 it was love at first sight
I would learn that it was designed to be sort of combined A & C class. But TMC discontinued the ACE 29.3. So we move up to the Windsport / Hurricane 27B and then TMC discontinued the 27B
I was convinced somebody had warned TMC about me because they seemingly did not want me as a Thor owner
FWIW and ironically to this discussion, the 29M was never a consideration for us because it was about a foot too long. I remember getting ripped on this forum way back when; because I was saying I would not buy a coach because it was foot too long. What is my mantra
"Quality is Fitness for use". It would not fit in the Spot / RV port that I built at home where I intended to keep it; so I bought the 29ve which maximized my space perfectly. There is no right or wrong answer just what you want, but as OP as requested, it is interesting to learn why people buy what they do.
