We just switched from a 22' TT to a 24' C and are very happy with the change. If you just pay attention you will never have to go back into town for milk, eggs, beer whatever. :S If you do need to go somewhere "Breaking camp" is a 30 second no brainer. Unhook the electric, if you even have it and drive away. Maybe it is tougher for the folks with big Class C's but we can take our 24 footer anywhere we want, down any road, into any site or parking lot without a problem(just watch out for the steep dipped driveways - don't ask me how I know). :B
If you are considering a TT will both of you be comfortable/capable hooking it up and driving it? My bride was not but now has a much greater comfort level driving our C. Mileage towing the 5,000# TT was 12.5 (which was a lot better than most), and the C is 10 or a little better but with the 55 gallon tank we have 500 miles of range with a 50 mile cushion. With the TT 250 miles was just about empty and we were forced to buy whatever was available at some pretty outrageous prices. Now if the price is high we just buy 10 gallons or skip it all together and get on down the road.
The built in generator on our C is so convenient. No more hauling out the Honda, chaining it up and hoping it's not raining. Just push the button and enjoy all the AC we will ever need. Lots of differences but the bottom line for us is the C is much easier and far more convenient, have yet to find a downside. As pointed out above the decision comes down to how you are going to use it but for us, extended travels, mostly in CG's the C just can't be beat.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV. :C
