I am glad to read that you who have class Cs with seam work in your cab-overs are maintaining them properly. But I think the original posting question is with regards to which class Cs are less prone to water infiltration. That is why I stress a seamless cab-over front, a fiberglass roof that is rolled over the edge & overlaps the sides, and finally a rear cap where the actual sealing joint is away from the corners.
Affordability versus reliability. That is the matter at hand. If your level of affordability places you into an entry model with trouble prone seam work, be diligent with your inspections and prompt reaction to early signs of water infiltration, and you can enjoy ownership just like the people who spent more on higher end ones that are better sealed.
If my class C (actually a B+) was stored outside all the time, with winter approaching fast, I would want to "tarp" the roof and sides to protect it from the worst of water damage potential. Maybe not needing a full covering, but at least to a point. It would be nice to be able to get inside during winter so don't tarp it too well.
