Newbie with only Cruise America experience
Hi, I'm planning to rent a class C next summer for 4 weeks and tour the west with my husband and 3 kids. I've done a lot of research, but our only experience is using pop-up campers when we were kids...

Feel at the driver's seat, my E-450 motorhome and my E-350 passenger van ride better on most roads than my late wife's Honda Accord, or the Fit I bought to tow. Noise from loose stuff banging around, that's a whole different story, and it is because you are carrying around a lightly built house and a whole lot of poorly stored loose stuff that can rattle.
Daily mileage? I've done 600 mile days in the motorhome, though I prefer 150 to 200. I don't think I've done much longer than that in a car, except a couple of trips in my youth with multiple drivers, when we stretched to make a 900-1100 mile trip without an overnight. Certainly would never do two of those days in a row, motorhome or car.
Motion sickness is usually a mental disconnect between motion your eyes are seeing and what your inner ear is sensing, relative to prior experience. It is tricky, because for some people, it is a matter of sitting where they can see where they are going, but others are more sensitive and will get sick from sitting higher, or sitting further forward, than usual. Sitting behind the center of rotation will do other people in. I've known some people for whom the only solution is to let them drive. Or to have them use drugs to control the responses.
