Rent an A before you buy. That “fishbowl” driving compartment may freak you out. Advantage of a C or a truck camper is the shady overhang.
Interesting point and while I guess that can be true, the VIEW out that "fishbowl" is often well worth any slight added inconvenience all that glass might present. It's an issue which didn't bother any of us. The kids LOVE sitting up front when we travel. LOL...dang...it just hit me...next time we go out...THEY'RE going to be able to DRIVE!!! Yikes!!! But I digress....
To be honest, I think what DW had the hardest time adapting to, was how much closer the passenger side of the rig is to the edge of the road when traveling down some winding country back roads. My wife commented "I think we're closer to the mailboxes than the mailman gets!" LOL
Granted, a Class C can be just as wide, but the cab part is a bit narrower, so there is a bit of an "extra cushion" of space between the passenger's position in the cab. This is probably an additional comfort to the passenger. And you're usually sitting much lower & closer to the road in a Class C, as well, so it's more "car-like".
