Hi way2roll,
You had mentioned that you ruled out a diesel pusher because your wife would refuse to drive it. I would be concerned that a Super-C would be even worse for her. A class B+ is female-friendly, and the smaller the better. My wife is 5'-1" tall and is very comfortable driving our B+ because of it's domesticated feel and size. Our rig is also scaled-down by class-B+/C standards with a narrow and lower house body. PHOENIX USA makes them in 21 to 31 feet long. People full-time in them.
But if a class B+/C is definitely off your list, there is something else that your wife may be comfortable driving. It is a diesel pusher, but is tiny by DP standards with a narrow body, lower height, and tight turning radius. It is called a TIFFEN ALLEGRO BREEZE. They look huge in the pictures but are not huge at all. Review their exterior dimensions and you will see what I mean. They really are small. They are smaller than many class Cs at only 95" wide and 11'-8" to the top of the a/c unit. They are made new today starting at 31.5 feet long, but if shorter is better for you, you can buy a discontinued used model 28BR which is only 29.5 feet long.
They are well made as reflected in their new and used prices. They are surely worth a look. Your wife might really enjoy driving it, and maybe you will too. A Super-C chassis is a tow truck chassis. Think about it.
