The Class C potentially sounds like a good idea, though my fear is that I may get claustrophobic. I am used to having a lot of space, as my apt is 1450 sq. feet and I'm the only one here. I just am not sure that a CLASS C would really be easier to sell, will keep researching.
I see the above as two major obstacles that need overcoming here in the planning stages.
First:
RV's (of all types) are not for claustrophobics, depending of course on the degree of the phobia.
Second:
Perhaps I misunderstand your concerns in this regard, but since reselling keeps coming up:
Expecting to resell a heavily used rig at or even near what one pays for it is not possible/realistic. Depreciation is one of your "costs-of-living".
That having been said:
In my opinion, the best "return" in that department would be from a tug/tow combo. I think the hit on a decent pickup would be much softer than on any motorized RV, and a wisely chosen trailer should resell for a decent price. It'll depreciate at a similar rate to a "C" or an "A", but...well, I'll put it this way:
What hurts more- to lose 30-50% of $20,000.00 or 30-50% of $80,000.00?
