Class A vs. Super C
My wife has become convinced a Super C is the best choice for a Diesel motor home due to safety. I've also read concerns about fires in the rear of Diesel Pushers. I'd like to stay about 35' for Nat...

We have had both. Our previous motorhome was a 2007 Four Winds 34H on the Chevy 5500 chassis with diesel engine.
I did do some suspension upgrades on it. It did have a longer rear overhang than on the current motorhome, but not really long. Enough that their is a difference making turns particularly with a toad.
The Four Winds did better at keeping it's speed up going uphill even though we were towing a larger car at the time. And it could go around curves a little faster. Winds were never a problem. And it was definitely a bit easier to drive, but noiser.
One thing I miss, we had a front overhang and it is nice at shading the windshield from the sun. Although you don't get near as nice view when parked.
But, when you get up to a 40' DP, it just seems you get a lot more space relative to the length and we don't even use the front seats.
