Truck Camper, Class B or C for this?
I have done musical chairs for what I thought I need but I am taking my time and now, I am leaning more toward a Class B or small Class C. Here are some needs... 1 Me, solo, or with gf, not concern...

You really need to look at the floor plans for the different RV's you are considering. Look up the websites of the various makers of B's and C's to get an idea of what's available. For B's go to www.sportsmobile.com. They show scaled drawings of the various makes and models of vans they work on, some examples of popular floor plans, and how you can construct your own plan to suit you. Lots of B info on that site.
More points:
For extra storage on a B you can get cargo boxes that attach to a trailer hitch. That might get you the storage you need without needing to tow anything.
Many Class C's are built cheaply to have a lower price. Although the added pieces like heaters and water pumps may be the same, the integrity of the box itself may be shaky - lots of stories about leaks and rotting bodies on C's. B's are more expensive but they are built to higher quality standards. Corollary - B's retain their value better so used C's will be cheaper.
Smaller C's have a corner bed arrangement where the bed is a standard double bed size with one corner cut off. Many are advertised as sleeping 6 using a cabover bed and a dinette conversion for more spaces. Six people can sleep uncomfortably.
I absolutely agree with the posters who suggested you visit RV dealerships to actually see how space is used in different models. Also check out RV shows.
