Small Class C owners, I want to hear from you...

For a family, I would recommend one with a cabover queen, pullout sofa and a dinette which also makes into a bed. Don't waste living space with a permanent bed. I love my 24'+ Class C and it has everything I need.

As others have pointed out, most of your time will be spent outdoors but you will still need enough comfortable seating indoors for those rainy days and for traveling.
