Don't Get CONNED Into Buying a Super C Motorhome -- 2021 Tampa RV Show!

Are you buying a Super C? In this video, we're going to talk about everything Super Cs. Hey guys, this is Ian MJ from Endless RVing. We are out at the Tampa RV Super Show, aka the Florida Super Show, RV Super Show, and we're going to talk about Super Cs. Now, this is one of the hottest divisions, markets in the RV industry. Everybody raves about the Super Cs. Now, we did a video regarding all different types of price points and what to expect when you buy a Class A motorhome. We will link that above. It was such a popular video where people were talking about, do the same thing for Super Cs. Now, Super Cs are being marketed, well, we're going to talk about it in the video, so you're going to want to watch to the very end because we have a lot of useful information here regarding all Super Cs. All right, so behind me is a Class C. Today, we're going to focus on what makes this different than a Super C. We're going to lay out some points exactly about what a Super C actually is. All right, so Super C, we're going to list some of these for you. It's going to have a wider stance. You're going to get that heavy-duty commercial chassis, which we love. And this is where they start to blend the lines a little bit. We'll talk about that. Right. Some are going to have air brakes, and you're going to have a good amount of storage. Also, what's key on the Super Cs, it's going to have a bigger motor, usually a more robust transmission, and you're going to have a much higher tow capacity and carrying capacity. So, we are going to talk about five different price points commonly seen on the Super C market, and what you're going to get, what you're going to expect to get at that price point. This is going to be a quick overview because the video will be six hours long. Right, right. We don't want that. It's going to be very quick on what to expect. Right. For each one, we're going to hit five different factors in each price point. All right, so we're going to start with an entry level Super C. This is your most affordable. We're going to start with the Nexus Wraith. We're going to hit a couple of different points in each of these. So, we're going to start with this. It's going to be a 6.7 liter Cummins engine. I'm going to read here because I want to make sure I get these numbers right for you. 300 horsepower on the Nexus Wraith. It's going to have 660 foot-pounds of torque. You're going to have a six-speed Allison transmission. This is on the international Durastar light chassis. So, it's a little different than your higher-end Super Cs. This is going to tow 10,000 pounds for you and approximately price range around 170,000. All right. So, at this price point, guys, like with all other RVs, you're not getting the frills that you're going to get in the higher-end ones. So, the doors are going to be lighter. You're not going to get the fancy decor. This one behind us actually doesn't have air brakes. So, keep that in mind as you're looking so you know exactly what you want to make sure you're in the right price point. All right. So, price point two now. We're at something like a Thor magnitude. All right. There's obviously different ones in that range, but we're just going to give you an approximation. So, let's hit those points that we mentioned before. You're going to have a 6.7-liter Powerstroke V8 turbo. It's 330 horsepower. You're going to have 825 pounds of torque on this. It's a six-speed select shift automatic transmission. This is on a Ford 550 chassis. This is going to tow 10,000 pounds, same as the Nexus. And this one, now, you're looking at MSRP around 230,000. There's different ones, but that's an average. Now, the prices that you're seeing behind me. It's the best price in America. Oh, no, he didn't. Oh, no, he didn't. He just interrupted my video. Hi, Matt. Hi. Okay. So, show price. Obviously, we're talking MSRP here. So, the MSRP, approximately 230,000. And there's no air brakes. And there's no air brakes on this one either. Yes. Behind me is now the third level in our price points. This is the Jayco Seneca. Nicely made. We just went on there. So, you're going to have your 6.7-liter Cummins engine. This is going to have 360 horsepower, 800-foot pounds of torque, six-speed Allison transmission like the others. This is on a Freightliner chassis. Now, this is on an S2RV, which is actually a specific chassis made for RV, specific Freightliner chassis made for RV. So, it's pretty cool. This, we're kicking it up a notch from the last one. You're going to have about 12,000 pounds of tow capacity with this. And you're looking approximately, in the price range, around $270,000. All right. So, let's go for about the fourth level. Give me the list there. All right. So, this is going to be your Renegade Veronas, your Supreme... I'm sorry, your Superstar. And just keep in mind, these are mixed in different price points. You have your DynaMax, DynaQuest. Again, these are going to be on your real commercial chassis, Class 7 chassis, heavy-duty chassis. So, you have... This is just baseline, all right? 8.9-liter Cummins motor, 350 horsepower, 1,150 pounds of torque. That's going to be on the Verona. We actually did a video test driving of a Verona. We will link it above. You're going to have different transmissions here. Some are going to have... You're going to have your Allison 3000, but there will be an actual truck transmission, which makes it a little more durable. In this category, you're going to be on, in most cases, the Freightliner M2 chassis. You're really kicking up the notch now with the towing capacity, around 20,000 pounds. In this price range, you're looking at around 300s in that area. All right. So, behind us is going to be your fifth level. These are what we will refer to as true Super Cs. So, the reason why we say that, these are on a commercial chassis. Now, this could be the Newmar Supreme Air, which is on the Freightliner M2 chassis. You're also going to have your Show Haulers, your Renegade Classic, Renegade Icon. Those could be on Cascadias, Volvo, Peterbilt, whatever it may be. Different types of engines. This has the DD13 behind us. You can get up to DD16. These come in a variety of different horsepower torques. So, that power can range from 350 up to 600 plus horsepower, and your torque can be 1,850 pounds of torque. There's a wide variety. These guys are going to be 400,000 up to the mid-7s, depending on how much you want to spend. With that, you get the extra carrying capacity. The ride is unbelievable. They can tow up to 40,000 pounds. This one behind us is rated at 30,000 pounds. But with all that extra carrying capacity, you're going to get the porcelain floors, all the tile, all the heavy-duty stuff you want, better payload. In our opinion, this is the way we would go. So, we hope that cleared up some of the questions you may have regarding Super Cs. Again, this category we feel is being used a little loosely. The true hardcore Super C people is going to be on something that's behind us, or even more so, those Show Haulers and those Renegades. We hope this cleared it up a little bit. In the comments below, if you own a Super C, which one do you own? Do you own one of the ones that we are talking about? It's on the shade, or one that we have the eye on. Let us know in the comments below, what do you own? How do you like it? And from myself and MJ, we thank you guys for watching, and we'll see you on the road.
