Just looking for some advice on Class A

[Ballpark Traveler]

We're a family of 4 (2 teen boys) who travel alot for our kids sports and are tired of hotels and starting to miss our old travel trailer. Just looking for some insight on a few class A rv's we've been looking at. Our top 3 are a 2022 Coachmen Pursuit 29XPS with 5k miles.

2013 Fleetwood Excursion 33A with 54k miles

Last is

2014 Winnebago Vista 30T with 27k miles.

Anyone who has any thoughts I would love to hear them!

We had a 2011 Vista 26P purchased new. We used it full time for seven years once we retired and it served us well. It took us all across Canada and all but 3 of the lower 48 and some Mexico. It was a solid build. Drivability was typical of Ford's F53 chassis. Upgrades to the steering and suspension would make a huge difference in handling. The V10 with the 4 speed was okay but a newer model with a 6 speed would be more preferable. No matter what you decide to purchase, it would be in your best interest to have it professional inspected especially the 2022 (COVID Built) year. We now have a 2019 Jayco Precept 31 UL and we find it is not quite as well built as the Winny was but still very acceptable. Good luck with your search and safe travels.

You'll likely be wanting to drag a vehicle along so towing capacity might be relevant. The Fleetwood is a DP.( Diesel Pusher) the other two front engine gas. Keep in mind 54k on a DP, is break in miles and it has a greater towing capacity (10k) than the Coachman (8k) and the Winny (5k). The Coachman's is only 8k because the gvw is so low. To be fair however the 10k on the 33' Fleetwood is as well. But they're going to tow quite differently.
As suggested, a few dollars invested in a professional inspection now may save you a lot of frustration and dollars going forward.
Remember as well, if you're buying from a dealer, many if not most of them give used car dealers a good name, so be very aware.

Gas Class As drive like a school bus, but are still worth that inconvenience. Mine towed a 5000 lb trailer with motorcycles in it and never had an issue. It is a bit slower than the DP, especially going uphill. However, we loved our Class A and remember it fondly. I never drove a DP, but instead moved to a 5th wheel and diesel truck.
