All (or most) bells & whistles can be found on nearly all RVs, all brands, all models, and if not can most times be easily added. Bottom line is that Fleetwood made good quality RVs for many years under several brand names (Tioga, Jamboree...), and there are alot of them out there. As bordercollie said, chassis and drive train are similar for most Class C's as well as appliances, AC and house battery systems.
As for your questions:
-how easy to drive on highways? If the alignment, tires, and loading is good, they are perfectly happy on the highway.
-how easy to in windy weather? Most (if not all) RVs don't like the wind.
-is it easier to drive some lengths over others? Generally, the shorter, the easier.
-how easy to drive with towing a car behind and still have good driving control? As long as GCWR is OK, towing a trailer or toad with brakes should not be a major issue.
-full size shower/toilet? Depends on the floorplan.
I drove a 27' 1988 Jamboree Class C for 19 years with no major issues (just finally moved up to a Class A; Itasca) while pulling a 4,000 lb enclosed trailer (winter) or a 2,500lb jet ski trailer (summer). The Jamboree was nearly identical to the similar model of Tioga, and I have nothing bad to say about it that couldn't be said about every MH on the road.
Due diligence is required on ANY used RV purchase, and repairs, upkeep, and maintenance is simply the cost of owning any "house" that shakes rattles and rolls down the highway for miles and miles.
