I could ditto a lot of the comments on why we chose C over A, but one thing that hasn't been mentioned is height. Our C is 31 feet, so it is pretty big as far as C's go, but we still hit a lot of state parks and such. But, even if access is decent for a longer rig, the branch overhang is often bad enough with a C but it would be impossible with an A.
The other thing for us is the time factor. We figure that a Ford Econoline chassis can be looked at and fixed in darn near any small town across the US rather than having to be towed somewhere for work. Not a big deal with roadside and towing coverage, but a big deal to our time budget since we're both still working full time and we have a school aged kid. When time isn't so much the essence this won't weigh in as much for us.
I think it really comes down to your plans and your camping crew and your style.
Very good points. These were large factors for us - serviceability of the E chassis (either by me or anyone out on the road) and height. Our 5er is tall and I get nervous a lot with it. I'd rather drive around a C and not worry as much. And DW is more comfortable driving a C which factors into that time budget - with only me driving the truck + 5er we can only go so far.
And of course it boils down to your style ... we'd stick with the 5er if we were long-term stay and play people but we are transitioning into "tour the US on a working man's vacation time" so we're wanting to be more efficient with travel time (limited stops & both of us driving) ...
