Claas A/ Class C
Originally i was thinking of buying a used class C motorhome. Then i started looking at smaller (30') class A's. What is the advantage or disadvantage of one over the other ?

I think the biggest difference is crash safety.
ClassC has a cabin that has crash and roll-over ratings.
ClassA none.
ClassA gives you more cabin comfort and option to use front seats while "camping".
Exactly how many Class C cabins have been tested in a head on collision with several tons of cabinets, furniture, and appliances attempting to crush you from behind? :B
As bad as this crash looks it was probably survivable with the air bags {not found on most A's}, deploying. Look at the damage closely and imagine that coach was a Class A... two dead for sure. In an A you are sitting atop the front wheels with no engine in front {look at the picture again noting where those Class A folks would have been at impact}.
As far as things rushing and crushing forward that does not appear to be the case here and how would an A be any different? Roll a Class A onto the passenger side and hope for no fire as getting out can be problematic.
For the record lots of C's have front seats that swivel and if yours does not aftermarket swivel kits are available for most coaches.
Lastly, IMHO: the smiley face accompanying the photo in this post is in very poor taste. :R
