Class A vs. Super C

We are looking at upgrading to a 45' DP however have no plans to take it north to Alaska. Lived there for 25 years, visited again in 2016 towing a 31' 5'er and finding places that will handle that rig was a challenge up north. Provincial CG's are not set up for longer RV's. Plus for more money you get less amenities at your sites. Yukon Provincial Parks provide free firewood. Basically a place to park for the night for what you would pay for a decent full service RV site in the lower 48 state. BUT, the scenery and experience is worth the trip.

Today's Class A coaches are going to all electric. No propane heat, cooking, ovens etc. At least that is what we are finding for our next RV. Either shore power or run the Cummins/ONAN generator.

Almost invariably when someone post a picture or video of an RV on fire on the highway it is the rear of a class A. Although no doubt that number vs the actual number on the road is very small.

As a class A owner, and a bus driver who drives a Deisel bus with the super 'C' nose, I really don't think there'll be any difference between the engine being up front with you, (other than the engine noise) or in back, as far as performance. MY biggest issue with my class A, is the fact that theres only one door, and no other way out, except through the window.

When I first purchased my DP, I was driving to the dealer up the NY thruway, to get my punch list taken care of. Looking out the mirror, I saw that one of my basement doors was open. I pulled off to the right, as far off the road as I could, and couldn't get out because of the guardrail. I ended up having to pull off on the left side, exit the vehicle with left lane traffic flying past me, and re enter traffic from the left hand lane....it seems none of the class a's come with driver doors anymore.
