    Best Class A under $100k

    A friend of mine is looking for a slightly used class A. He’s single and doesn’t have any kids, so it’s just him and his black lab.
    He wants something 2 or 3 years old (7 max) gas motor and nothing longer than 35 feet.

    I don’t know that much about them and have never owned one but I’m guessing there’s quite a few folks here that have or do own similar rigs.

    I’ve heard Newmar and Tiffin are well built but to stay away from Thor products, Jayco and Forest River, but that was just from the little research I did.

    Winnebago Sightseer or Adventurer should fit his bill.

    Couple years old should be well under $100k.

    If he's planning on towing a car (which I would if single-handing a class A), make sure he knows that not all cars can be towed 4-down. Here's a link to Motorhome's dinghy towing guides:

    Be sure to research the payload ratings on the gas coach. I have seen some of the payloads under 1000 pounds on gas Class A. As. this question of IRV2 and you will get more input and some first-hand experiences.

    I owned a 2016 Winnebago Sightseer 33C. Great floorplan and bedroom layout. Did what is known as the "cheap handling fix" to front suspension to help with steering while underway. If 2 or 3 years old, should be able to get one for <$100,000.
    Ford V-10 engine has been around for awhile & is reliable - easy to get underneath the rig and do oil/filter change. Got 5 (heavy head wind) to 7.5 mpg, runs on regular grade gasoline.
    Nice to be able to turn on the generator while underway and turn on the roof a/c so unit would be nice & cool when arriving at the campsite. Generator located in rear of unit so little noise to driver/passenger while underway.
