Pick the Jayco Granite Ridge 23S if…

Frequently asked
Why does the Granite have only 4 gal LP?
Likely a single small tank or cassette-style LP - unusually low for a Mercedes Class C. Limits cold-weather furnace operation. The Unity Twin Bed at 15.8 gal LP supports normal multi-day operations. Verify at dealer.
Is the Unity's dry bath really better than wet bath?
Yes - dry bath keeps the toilet and sink dry while showering; wet bath drenches everything every shower. Significant daily-use upgrade for the Unity. Dry-bath shower screens retract for cleaning ease.
How do the twin beds work in 25 ft?
Permanent twin beds 34x76 in each, side-by-side at the rear. Convertible to a king (88x76) with infill cushions. Useful when one partner wakes early - separate beds avoid disturbance. The Granite's convertible twin-to-queen is more compromised in single-bed mode.
