When we bought our "A", we were empty nesters and it suited our needs(and it was a great deal). Then the DGK's came along and we started taking them with us. Not enough sleeping spaces. Rented a "C" when we needed to maximize our three weeks the kids were available for an AK trip. Got a 31' model and the kids loved it and we kind of fell for it.
Now Five years later, DGK's have lots of Teenager things to do and can't spend as much time with us.
We need a newer rig and we both lean toward another "A". DW want one 30' or under, I want about the same but, I've looked at a few older "A" diesels. The smaller ones seem to have a table and "2" chairs instead of dinette for four and so the old "six/four/two" is now "six/two/two". Six for cocktails, two for dinner and two for sleeping".
I like the extra room of a 35' pusher and the quieter cab when driving but, the "C"s are much quieter in the cab but have less room.
Even those of us who have been owners do flip flops over what to buy. I have never considered the ease of repair and maintenance or safety in a crash, I want the creature comforts. Floor plan, kitchen layout, down time comfort(looking straight at the TV, neck not bent to the side) view out the front and everything mentioned earlier.
Some "C"s have them and some don't, the same for "A"s. It is all what grabs you walking in the door.
