Starting my research for our proposed trip across North America in 2018 very early. The more I research the more impatient I get. I just want to buy the RV and get out on the road but I’m sure it will be worth it in the end.
All my research will be added to this page so I can find it.
Top Picks so far.
Leisure Travel Unity 24MB
Forest River 2400R MBS or Sunseeker 2400R MBS
Winnebago Itasca Navion 24G
These all share the same Sprinter chassis and similar floor plans, costs vary widely, as well as availability.
