Salesman trying to talk me out of a Class C

He's got all kinds of reasons

Besides storage and the hated driving of it .
Hated driving can mean a lot of different things.

Its all trade-offs that's why it needs to be what you want.
If it was between a gasser 'A' and gasser 'C', I opt for the 'C' .
Just watch your GVWR on larger 'C's. Some can be overloaded easily when you have large or multiple slides.

A long wheelbase diesel pusher is quiet, the tag axle is smooth, the air suspension is smooth, the cab is very roomy . Your passenger sits far away from the driver, you might end up having a "WHAT" contest because you can't hear each other. Not because it's noisy, because it's a further distance than a 'C' interior.
Problem is 45' is too big for me. Too restricted at campsites and parking lots etc. Its nice going down the highway but that's about it. You always have to call ahead and if boondocking in the woods is your thing...forget it.

What I have found is you need a unit that offers large enough capacities to fill your needs. Fresh water and holding tank size.

A floorplan that suits your needs. My DW likes to recline her seat while on the road, therefore we need a floorplan that allows that.


Drivers door ease or not. Some A's offer that. All C's do.

Class 'A's have flat side walls where its easier to see pulling out of driveways while looking back to your left to view traffic.
Class C's have a more narrow cab and a wider camper sidewall (widebody) which blocks your view. When driving a C you need to be closer to 90 degrees to the roadway while exiting a driveway. If you try to exit at a 45 degree angle your view is more limited. A unit with graduated flared sidewall ( Phoenix Cruisers etc) makes it easier plus it offers less drag.

Tires on a C are usually 16" A's can be 19.5" or 22's.

I have found a small 24' C to be my best rv because its easy to fit in campsites as well as easy to fit in most gas stations. Not only to gas up but for repairs that do not require a lift.
My car mechanic performs jobs on my class C at 1/2 the price of a truck shop or rv shop because he can physically fit it outside at his station where a larger 'A' is more difficult to fit. We use the rv hydraulic jacks to lift it off the ground for tire work. Solid ramps for oil changes.

Look into general insurance costs between the two. I have glass coverage of my 'C' cab which is harder and more costly to get on an 'A'.

I also like having an engine in front of me opposed to the flat class 'A' design.

I have a short wheelbase on my 'C' and had to spend some $$$ to upgrade shocks, rear track bar and customize the alignment etc .
Some people have to add more stout sway bars.
But people have to do alterations on some short wheelbase 'A's too.
Im not sure which is better or worse as far as handling. Both usually need to be tweaked.

Hope this helps, regards,
Bob
