The first thought that pops into my head when I think about these facilities is: “get over yourself… they’re all RVs”. My philosophy now and in the past is that I prefer to camp with recreational or seasonal campers. I’m generally not interested in camping next to someone in a big rig that lives there full time.

We’re meeting some friends for our RV trek up to Alaska in the summer of 2023. They’ll be driving their Class C that is on a Ford F350 platform. Definitely not a Super C. I think the Super C rigs are usually on a heavy truck chassis like Freightliner. I don’t know where things like the F450 or larger stand in this classification.

I know that Newmar makes Class A rigs and Super C rigs, and all seem to be welcome in the owner’s clubs, in the community, etc. They don’t seem to make a distinction.

I’ve already begun working on my list of mods to the Newmar, just as I did with the Airstream. I don’t have quite as many (yet) as I did with the Airstream, but I’ve got plenty to keep me busy. I just ordered a DuraFaucet sprayer hose to replace the outdoor shower. I just added a TST TPMS system and I need to connect and mount the repeater. I’ve got a few more little tweaks planned.

In my opinion, the little tweaks and modifications are one of the gratifying parts of RV ownership, regardless of which type you own. I’m really looking forward to our first extended trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in May.

May as you likely know, is still somewhat "iffy" both Teton and Yellowstone...but, I am sure you will comfortable in your Newmar for sure. We don't get to Star Valley until June 1 and sometimes that is still pretty cool for couple weeks. Nice visiting the park's at this time however for animal viewing!

Yup, it can definitely be cold in May. Or it could be 75° and gorgeous. We’re going in late May and I’m hoping for the latter! We’re generally the type of people who prefer cooler weather when camping.
