Here are some of the factors we considered when buying our Class C: It is shorter, thereby allowing us to fit in smaller camping areas like some local, state, and even some national parks. Generally, they sleep more people which is helpful for families/friends. There are the safety factors like having the engine in front to absorb energy in case of an accident, a door for the pilot and co-pilot to exit in an emergency, and driver and passenger air bags as well. And lastly, there are generally many more places to have the chassis serviced when travelling. Hope this helps.
