Just switched this spring from a 2016 33' class C to a 41.5' class A. The C had air bags on rear, and the standard V10. We tow a Dodge Durango, and have done so with both units. Difference in mpg is minor, but ride quality and quietness of the class A is huge. In 14,000 miles driving the C in all terrain, we ranged between 6.5 to 8.0. Added the 5-Star tuner, and on level ground, we were hitting the 9.0 range;3,200 mile trip. On the A, we've done a little over 1,500 miles, with an average mpg of 7.3, all of it towing. For us, the ride quality and quietness far offset the slightly less mpg. As others have noted, there are dozens of variables to consider when answering your questions, but you get a general consensus.
