We bought a Class C, Forest RIver Forester Ford engine, 2 year old 10k miles 32 foot and just returned from a 2 week trip
THis is a first RV for us and boy is it a tough ride, every little bump in the road you feel like you have probably popped a tire.
Is a Class A a smoother ride?
We got <8 MPG NO toads pulled, only 2 adults and a few little doggies.
Do CLass A do any better on MPG?
Simple answer, no.
We've owned and drove a Class C on the E450 chassis for over 10 years and got that rig to drive and handle pretty good. Tire pressure, rear suspension air bag pressure, and a change in shocks resulted in a pretty good ride.
Nothing we've owned now compares to our DP for ride quality but this is a totally different animal with it's own set of issues. MPG is in the end about the same for us.
Spend some time over on the Class C forum and see what others have done to make their E450 handle and ride better. It's going to take work and a few $ but, it may be worth it to you.
