Don't expect to save money with an RV instead of paying for hotels and restaurant food. You will have the greater fuel expense, the cost of the RV, the cost for storing the RV when not in use, cost for maintaining the motor and drive train and tires, and brakes and batteries (multiple in the RV).
Least expensive route by far is to buy a 23-28 foot travel trailer and tow it behind a SUV or pickup truck. You will have more living space than in a motorhome and larger holding tanks for water and waste, and more sleeping space, larger bathroom and dry bath, and with a separate towing vehicle you have roof racks for boats and other gear and with a pickup you have a place to safely store bicycles and similar items.
The longer the RV setup you have the fewer places you will be able to stop, fewer places where you can park, fewer places where you can camp at a campsite.
Class A are less expensive because more owners are dumping theirs to get something smaller. If used Class C are so much more expensive in your state than look outside your state for a better price.
