Class A vs C is a big swing. Mostly depends on what you plan to do and where you plan to go. If you like the big RV parks, class A may suit you. If you like NF and BLM campsites and a lot of National Parks, the Class C may be a better fit based on size. Most NF and BLM sites generally clip lengths around 27 - 29 feet. We downsized to a 24' MBS Sprinter class C from a 31' 5th wheel and could not be happier. Plenty of space for 2 adults and a small dog. If you have a family - small class C's can be tight, especially in bad weather. Not too sure of finding a MBS in the $50K range unless you find a private party wanting to dump a unit. Cheapest I have seen lately tend to be in the high 60's. I would also stay away from the 5 cylinder Sprinters as MB quit making those and opt for the 6 cylinder. At this point, I would suggest that you provide more info on how many people, pets, cargo you plan to carry and of you plan on a toad tor not. Without the info, it is more difficult to give suggestions rather than opinions. Suggest you consider these items as a starting point.
