OK, not to stir the pot, but why not class C vs A with overhead bunk?
I've found it more enjoyable to drive the truck chassis than the van. Feels more solid to me. A 31-foot motorhome on a van chassis feels like it's asking too much of the van. Also I really don't like the bunk sticking out in front of the windshield. Last but not least, we've found the E450 to be too cramped and loud for us.
We may still yet get a gas Class C, but it would be a Chevy 4500-based unit. Also like the NeXus diesel Super C. The cab is so big and roomy, you can't even see the overhead cab. But it's quite a bit of $$$.
Next up in the test drive queue is a Newmar Bay Star 3215, which is available with a drop-down bunk. Great Newmar quality, huge tanks, and 3700lb of NCC! Down side is it's pretty expensive too, and there are none on the used market with the drop-down, so it's new only.
