Where I really envy a Class A
Owning a Class C myself, where I really envy the A's is their cab seats being good inward-facing lounge chairs too. If our little C could do that, and the TV was in easy view amidships, it would tran...

I've seen some Coachmen class "C"s on the E-450 base chassis which have swivel seats for the driver and passenger.
For me, i'd just use the seats as additional storage for light stuff. A Dometic ice chest fridge comes to mind (since it gets stuff cold far quicker than the absorption fridge.)
I also like a few features of class "A"s:
1: More storage. There are spots everywhere that a class "C" doesn't have, and usually more basement room. Only exception is if the "A" doesn't have a drop-down bed, as the cabover storage is nice.
2: Cooler view out the front windshield.
However, I likely will go with a "C" for a few reasons:
1: A "C" is a known thing when it comes to a drivetrain repair. Ford cab, Ford engine, and so on.
2: Airbags in front. Even though it is a cutaway, the front is up to automotive standards.
3: Two additional doors to exit from. This doesn't sound important... but if something catches on fire, you want to get out directly, not try to run to the door that is amidships.
4: I can make a folding divider from Coroplast, Reflectix and acoustic curtains to separate the cab from the rest of the rig, which means less to heat.
