Only you can select your priorities, but I will mention that the listed length of a vehicle, the model name/length and the true (maneuvering) length are 3 different things. My model is 25B, the listed length is 26.6 ft and my storage facility says it is 28ft. (I haven't measured it myself, I keep forgetting to bring the tape). So when you compare candidates, be sure you have the correct info to address your priorities. Also width varies quite a bit, with some small C's being over 100 inches wide. The itasca Navion, made to be maneuverable, is 90 inches wide. It has a slide to make up for the narrow profile. And height also becomes an issue in out of the way places where the tree branches are low.
The longer, wider isn't much of an effect for me in driving through traffic but it is an effect when deciding if I can pull into some restaurant or other business. Are the parking spaces large enough, will I be able to get out etc.? Like you I travel alone and have no one to provide special parking and backing guidance.
Happy hunting.
