I think you are on the right track of a small A over a C. The A will have better suspension, larger FW tanks and more storage in general. Look for a A with full basement storage not the little cut out doors that you will find on a C or some small A's like the Thor ACE. Also if you look close enough you will find a 32 ft A has several pass thrus where the shorter ones don't. I would not get hung up on the Reyo type diesels for better MPG's the gas Fords will have much better performance and more storage. It sounds like you will be more travelers than stay in one spot campers. If you tow a small car that gets good mpg's you will put more miles on you tow car traveling to the various sites with the kids and you will average 20 plus mpgs with this combination. Good luck with your purchase.
