Things that are truly tangible rather than opinions.
Class A's ride nicer. It's all about the chassis. Class A's typically have higher tow capacity. Class A allows for the front seats to be used while camped so it's not wasted space. Class A's have a better field of vision.
Any more they both share the V-10 so no win there on either side.
Class C's have better crash protection in a front end collision. Class C's are usually cheaper, but not always.
Storage, working on the engine, slides, appointments etc, are all really based on the units you are looking at. I've seen some high end C's and low end A's. Heck even the overhead bunk space is offered in many Class A's now so it's no longer only in the C market. Budget and perceived ease of driving is typically what drives the C market. Although the latter is more opinion than fact. I find an A easier to drive.
The main difference is in the chassis and front end layout. Aside from that you will find many share the same features. Really depends on what you want and what's your budget.
