I prefer a motor home to a trailer for multipe reasons.. BUT A word of caution about a class C.
Some years ago (2006/7) I was parked at a campground in Las Vegas.. An elderly couple flew in and was picked up at the airport by the courtesy driver from an Vegas RV dealer to took em to the dealership and handed them the keys to a brand new Class C.
In fact I had to help the elerly gent unlock the living space door as he had forgotten which key fit (Tri-mark same as I have).
Well they went to dinner. and though the parking garage had the clearance (barley) for the Rig the pipe and chain to warn you of overheight was the precise height to clear the rooof.
What it did not clear was the winegard "Flying Saucer" style TV antenna, in fact it went in under the saucer. Ripped it off the roof. then the pipe flew up and came down right atop the bathroom vent lid smashing it.
So be careful out there and know how tall your rig is.
