I just had to do the same thing you are looking at doing. Never thought I would step away from my 5th wheel and truck. Looked at class A models but decided we wanted to just be mobile and stay smaller. Looked at class C and drove both the ford and chevy chassis and just found them both tough for me to get from drivers seat to the living area. We then test drove the Mercedes Sprinter and found it met all our requirements. Was more costly but was worth the expense for us. Love the power and fuel economy I have with this small diesel. Both front seats swivel around and become part of the living area and are very comfortable. Our Solera 24R is great but do at times miss all the room the 5th wheel allowed.
Good Luck
