Class C safer to drive and easier to service...
Do you have any statistics to support the "safer to drive" comment? I see it posted here a lot, but I personally differ with that opinion.
Easier to service...depends. It's probably easier to get others to service a C than an A, but I do my own service and so far routine service has been pretty straightforward on my gasser A.
rvhappy2010, don't rule out anything. Take your time and do your research. It took us about 2+ years of research to realize that our best solution was the class A gasser in our signature. We started out looking at small hybrids to tow behind our minivan and ended up with the class A and tow our minivan behind it! :) Nine years later we're still very happy with our purchase. Floor plan is probably one of the key factors. We had 4 children and the "conventional wisdom" was that "A's are for couples, C's are for families". We decided not to follow stereotypes and are very glad we didn't. For us, our dual slide, dual sofa layout is perfect. It gives us plenty of living space and the storage space and capacity to carry want we need for extended trips.
Don't rush, and feel free to ask many questions here. It's the comments and experience of the members here which allowed us to make the right decision the first time.
Good Luck,
