We also have had two Class A's and a Class C before going with the 5th wheel. For us there were a couple of things, in both the class A & C, the front 4 of 5 feet were dedicated just to driving, so a 30 foot "C" is really only 26 feet of usable RV space. Second, if you just pull in, cap a beer & spend the night before moving on your ok in a motor home. But if you actually want to stay a while and explore the souronding area you need a toad, (towed vehicle). With insurance and maintenance you are adding a big expense, as stated before a lot of things to go wrong! I maintain that a "C" or "A" motor home and a toad it is easier to set up a fiver than it is to set up a motor home, and that is with a vehicle that can be towed 4 down. If you add in a dolly to the equation you start really having "fun" setting up and/or taking down! A really nice TV can be equipped almost as good as any luxury car, add 4 wheel drive, and you can take it off road while "exploring". Final "nail in the coffin" a nice well equipped Class A will cost you 2 or 3 times what a similar 5th wheel would cost!
