Hello from PA

My wife and I just traded in our Starcraft expandable TT for a class C. We purchased an East to West Entrada 2700NS. We have had it out the past 2 weekends and have really enjoyed our new motorhome. It was a great fit for the 2 of us with room for company when they visit. The picture was from this weekends camping trip.

Huntingdon, so the south central part of the state. But have family in Bloomsburg and Scranton area, so familiar with your part of the state.

Very nice, wish you the best from NW Jersey!
Question, does your screen house fit in the rear storage? We’ve been concerned with where to put our Clam which is 6.5’ long if we trade out TT for a mobile home.

Yes it does fit nicely in the outdoor storage. It isn't in there now but I attached a picture of our outdoor storage compartment.

That was one thing we really struggled with as well. We spent 2 days looking at the Hershey RV show. We wanted enough storage to take all our camping gear, and the CCC to carry it. This camper had 1500 lbs of CCC which I figured was OK (could be better lol). It is on the E350 chassis. So in our back storage we had our Clam screen room, a 2-burner camp chef store and griddle, a portable pellet smoker, 20lbs of pellets, 6 chairs, folding table, water jug.... .. and 2 e-bikes on the back. I filled up the water (300+lbs) and it had full tank of gas and propane. I was 100 under the on the total weight. So knowing I won't carry 300 lbs of water I felt pretty good on that. We were pretty much loaded at the max we would ever carry. Fridge was full and I had a cooler in the external storage. I also have one smaller storage up front that holds enough firewood for 2 evenings of fires.

We were trying to stay under 30ft (29' 11" this one is haha), wanted a walk around queen. We found this one without slides had more inside and outside storage and increased the CCC as well. So in the end it fit well what we were looking for. It was all back and forth for 2-days looking at them. We are happy with what we settled on.

I hope that helps. Glad to answer any other questions, we went through the same process when deciding.
