Class A vs. Class C engine access...
I'm new at this and have seen a couple of RVs close up. I was thinking that from the few Ive seen, the As seem to have better engine access than the class Cs. I posted this in the Class C forum ea...

I have owned both, 3 C's and 2 A's. As far as access to the engine it depends on the manufacturer and what you are trying to do to the engine. Some things are easier on both. If the engine needs to be removed the C's are usually much easier.
I completely disagree with the noise level, both of my A's have been much quieter than the C's I have owned. With my current one, you can hardly hear the engine unless it shifts down on a grade but the C's were worse.
As far as the wiring, I think that depends on the quality of the coach builder as does the quality of the fasteners. I really don't believe the class A manufacturers would use cheaper components than the class C manufacturers and actually many brands make both classes.
I prefer the A class because the chassis is usually heavier and I have seen a lot of class Cs with over the cab leakage problems and poorly lengthened chassis frames.
That being said there are many very nice class C's on the road.
