Considering "rightsizing" from a Thor Chateau 31E to a +/- 25' MH on a Sprinter chassis. The Winnebago Navion/View (24V) and Leisure Unity FX are our top contenders. We simply don’t need sleeping space for “10” now that an empty nest is looming in our future. Would be interested in feedback from both viewpoints, specifically on fuel economy, housing the occasional “guest”, maneuverability (specifically within the National Parks System), dry and of course “stealth” camping.
Thanks!
A 25' Class B, or Class B+, or Class C MH probably isn't going to be very much of a "true stealth camping" RV, per se. It seems to me that a camper van or truck camper would come closer to providing that.
I guess it depends upon what you mean by "stealth". We have a 24 foot Class C and have over-nighted - in a church parking lot, in a bakery's parking lot, in trucker gas stations, in a Port of Entry parking lot, along the curb in front of a friend's house, out by the barn at a private farm, in a Cebela's parking lot, in a Cracker Barrel parking lot, out in the field at a private ranch, in a Walmart parking lot, in the parking lot behind a Mom & Pop restaurant, in the parking lot of a medical clinic, in the parking lot outside the gate of a closed public park, etc.
I wouldn't call the above situations "true" stealth camping because it is obvious what our Class C is, and what we were probably doing in it at the time.
For what it's worth, here is one of my (nicely affordable when new) current top choices in a small Class C for "intimate" fully self-contained camping - a Minnie Winnie in the 22R floorplan: https://winnebagoind.com/products/class-c/2019/minnie-winnie/floorplans
WHAT ENGINE IS IN THAT? Are they available w/ Ford diesels?

After looking at practically every Sprinter-based moho, including the Leisure Travel models, we just purchased a Winnebago Navion 24V. The floor plan on the 24V works perfect for us as a couple.
Driving the Sprinter feels like driving a tall SUV, the turning radius is much tighter than the Ford's E50s and 450s. We just got ours and have only put a few hundred miles and we have been getting about 12.5 MPG.
