Class C ratings/reivews 31-33'
My wife and I are just starting to research new Class C RV's 30-33' for a purchase later next year. We have prior experience driving/camping with her parents in their 32-36' Class A's over the years....

I did a quick search on each unit you listed. I much prefer the ones with the seamless front cab-over bed area. If you don't need the upper bunk area for sleeping, I advise to consider a seamless B+, the same basic motor home but without that huge thing over the driver area. No over-hang greatly reduces the vibration which greatly reduces the chance for seam failure.
I have to ask why so long a unit for just the two of you. In that length people often find themselves beyond the weight limitation of the "E" rated tires, which greatly increases the chances for a tire blow-out. You did mention Alaska. A tire blow-out on such a trip could be detrimental. Rear axle tire blow-outs on class Cs often do damage to the house. Shedding some length will shed some weight.
If you don't care about slide-outs, getting a rig without them will shed even more weight. One slide-out will add 400 to 800 pounds pending it's size and configuration.
If you insist on getting something so long and heavy, do yourself a favor and consider a Super-C which is a more capable chassis than the E450. 31-33 feet long with two to three slide-outs is an extremely heavy combination for an E450 chassis and it's tires.
Don't take this warning lightly, no pun intended. Motor home manufactures don't necessarily consider all that people add inside their motor home. To be within load limitations, some people with huge & heavy E450 rigs can't carry a tank full of fresh water or even their family. They have to follow behind in another vehicle.
