reading your situation I was wondering how much time do you spend inside the RV? Do you really need all the room a class A offers? I know when I go out I spend the late hours in the RV, then go to sleep. Morning have breakfast, then outside do my things all day. I had a 9 1/2' TC for 24 years, raised one child with it and never felt like I needed more room than what was there in the TC. I next went to a 22' class C which was slightly larger than a TC and still spent the same amount of time out of the RV. Then I went to a TT so I could drive around to see the sights, nice but really wasn't necessary. Then I went back to a 8' TC and still it met my needs. I did fall out of the overhead in the middle of the night while boondocking with my dog, no cell service, and waking up to sunlight and the dog barking and licking my face. Fortunately I was not seriously injured, no blood, no broken bones, just a sore back. I was lucky. My wife insisted that I no longer have an RV where I had to sleep in the overhead bed. So these days I am back to a class C. I am presently in Iowa at the Northstar factory visiting with Rex (the owner), we discussed building a custom flatbed TC, but since I am spoiled with the room I now have the TC would have been 15' long and 8' wide (would that still be a TC? Probably because I could remove it from the truck, but then that is too big for a TC, plus I would need to 'stretch' the frame on the truck, and on and on.
In summary, rethink your 'inside time' of the RV, do you really need 'bigger'
