Post Looking to up grade

We have a x19h love it but need to get more room.

Looking at a Jayco 25BH and a Starcraft 27BHU.
Anything anyone can tell me will help.

How many people does it need to handle? Reason I say is because my daughter likes that unit25 bh but it lacks closet space for the bunks. Other than that that it's a great unit.

We love our x23b. Nice layout, lots of storage, counterspace is sufficient, and very open feeling.

We have a 17 25bh and it is great for my family of 4 and sometimes 5 if my mother decides to come with us. I could agree with tunce as far as bunk storage but I feel that the rest of the camper has great storage, at least for us. The starcraft looks like basically the same Floorplan with the bunks/bathroom switched. What will you be towing with. IMHO, if you are towing with a half ton, I would not get the starcraft as it is a little bit longer and may put it out of half ton capable. One thing I would change about it is that the only access to the storage under the dinette seats is from the dinette seats. I wish there were doors in front for access. Maybe a mod that I may do if I can get matching doors. Any specific questions about this floorplan, just ask.

People can talk all they want about it but bottom line is for you to go take a look at one in person.

Just watch your payload as well. Loaded up and ready to camp we are 6000lbs with 900lbs tongue weight.

Congrats, we also are new owners of a 25BH. Second camping trip will be this weekend. This model was recalled for overheating LED lights - check with your seller for evidence that this work was done.


I would also recommend sway bars/load equalizer if you don't already have it.
