- BarneySNomadThere are not very many Class A motorhomes in that length. Most are bigger.
Barney - BobboExplorer IIIClass A generally has more sitting/lounging space. Class C generally has more sleeping space.

In another post of yours recently you said you're a breeder of yappy dogs and you want to tour the national parks. I'd recommend you explore the rules of the parks first to see if they can be left in your RV when you're gone and the limit of dogs you may have. They also can't be taken on park trails for the most part for siteseeing. For instance, in Yellowstone you'll have to walk to see the famous geysers, etc. Just a heads up....
X1 Most RV Parks have limits on the breed and size and weight of dogs. Leaving dogs in your RV unattended while you go for hikes or visits to places is generally not Ok and if your dogs are yapers, barkers your RV neighbors could call the manager and complain or call the local dog pound officials:(:( - NCWriterExplorerNot many Class B vans have slides (or space for multiple dogs). I've seen Bs with one slide.
Class Cs in the size range you indicated may have one or two slides. More would be uncommon. Ours at 25’ with two slides can handle two humans and one Lab. More dogs would be a very tight fit. - toedtoesExplorer III

That's a great point. Many have limits of 2 dogs per campsite. - 2gypsies1Explorer IIIIn another post of yours recently you said you're a breeder of yappy dogs and you want to tour the national parks.

- toedtoesExplorer IIIAs the OP is looking for a specific size RV (24-26ft), I don't think where they want to go is as important as layouts. A 26ft class A will go anywhere a 26ft class C will go. The B will go more places, but for me cost was a bigger determination with that.
- LwiddisExplorer IIDjgarcia is right on. Decide what you want to do and where you want to go FIRST. Fit the RV to those two decisions.
- toedtoesExplorer IIIA class B will normally cost more than the others - will your budget meet those?
The class A and class B will feel different driving - go take a test drive in both and see how you feel with each.
Go to a dealership and look at the floorplans that meet your requirements. Spend time in them acting out making meals, getting ready in the morning, etc. Imagine the dogs at your feet while you do these things. If one feels awkward or tight, cross that Floorplan on the list. Then when you have the floorplans that you like, go to the Internet and look at different makes and models with those floorplans, read reviews on them, look for complaints, etc.
Take your time and do a lot of footwork.
