I had a smallish Class C Forrest River Solera for 4 years. We loved it for the most part. Driving it at highway speed was another story. It drove fine, but it was quite noisy with all that open space to amplify every sound. It didn't handle wind very well and would lean with any appreciable wind. Also in the heat, the front windshield was quite a heat source. Hard to overcome with curtains and the one AC.
We opted to go TC and so far we are quite happy. Truck is quiet at speed. Wind does not affect us. Handling is fantastic in comparison. Biggest change for us is the safety. No worry about cabinets or dishes crashing into us during extreme deceleration. Brakes on the new rig are a vast improvement.
Space wise, we have a little less, and the floor is not all on one level. A small price to pay for a better 4 season camper on a safer platform.
