Whatever size you rent, remember that this may NOT be the right RV for you to own. Once you have dipped your toes into the Rving lifestyle water, you can begin to really look at options/makes/models that will really work for you. Many rentals are basic models without all the bells and whistles than can make RVing feel extravagant and fun.
Class A's have advantages and do C classes. Compare and decide later. Read, read, read and ask lots of questions of other RVers before you let a salesman get to you. Their only job is to move a unit, regardless of whether it is a good fit for you. Just saying............... there are some gems of salesmen out there but they are few and far between.
Have your wife think about what works for her and what she wishes the rental RV had to make her more excited about RVing. Good luck on your first RV adventure and here's hoping for many more for you! And yes, take her out to dinner so she feels like it is a vacation for her too.
Happy Trails!
