32 Foot Class A vs 32 Foot Class C
Hello All, I have never owned any type of RV before however I have found myself in the market to purchase a motor home. The best option that I found that fit most of my needs was a 32 foot class C. ...

Having owned both (2 Cs, 1 A) over the course of 32 years, here are my reasons for the A over the C: Heavier chassis means much larger capacities (fuel, fresh water, black water, grey water, LPG), much larger storage capacities, Higher OCCCs (or CCCs), More "walk around" room, Massive windshield for awesome views/visibility (both while driving and while camped), higher tow ratings. Now obviously, "some" of those may be found in "some" C's, but generally speaking, those are what you will find.
Finally, when it comes to safety; Yes, the C has an automotive cab, but have those cabs actually been crash tested without the steel structure of the rear of the van in place? No airbag on A's? Correct, but keep in mind that you are sitting well above all of the mass of most any other vehicle that you may hit. There are completely different dynamics involved, to the point where the difference in safety really is debatable.
