"Maximum 24 ft or longer" question
I'm looking now since quite a while for a used RV and I noticed that Class C's that are 26 ft long (or longer) are significantly less expensive that the shorter ones that are no longer than 24 ft. ...

Several years ago we changed from a 30 ft fiver to a Jayco Melbourne 32 ft.
Then a year later we went on a 3 month trip to and from Alaska without towing a car along.
As to parking, we generally found it not to be an issue but for not always easy. If you don't mind walking, it is generally not a issue.
One issue was navigating some parking lots especially if it is not a level entrance. Most Class C's have low back end clearance, when compared to trailers and Class A's. Generally the length of the overhang from the axle is a major factor of clearaence. Our receiver saved us a couple of times.
Over all storage space can be an issue. We carried 3 seasons worth of clothing and did not have any real issues. We did make more visits for food than we do at home.
We have 2 slides and that made life in the coach much better. For one person, it is probably easier but the dining table and bench gets old quickly and having a couch or chair (not your front seats) makes it much more livable.
The shorter the coach the less storage available (under storage is limited for all Class C's & is much less than A's or trailers). Comfort space is more restricted the shorter you get.
