In my experience, a Class C will cost less than a class A. Both have advantages based on requirements.
Buy based on:

2) what you can afford
3) what provides the best value
Look for guidance from the forum but make fact based decisions.
Agree with the basis on what to buy...don't agree about the price thing...they are making a lot of Class A's now starting under $100,000. If you are going to compare apples to apples as in comparison of size between a Class A and Class C (30' to 30'), price will not be a whole lot more for a Class A. Of course you can also buy a $200k or $200k Class A 30' model....depends on the brand...
We started with a pop up years ago...moved up to a TT back in 2010. Didn't think we could afford a motorhome. But finally realized we could. Wee went with the Class C for several reasons.
- easier to drive
- easier to park in our driveway
- lower to the ground. Not as many steps. (TT sat up real high)
- Better use of space. We have a teen that goes with us. The bed over the cab is a perfect fit for her. It doesn't have to be raised or lowered like the ones you can get in some Class A's. Plus I feared that we would end up with a malfunction of the beds that lower down mechanically.
- can get worked on just about anywhere. A lot of places will not work on the larger motorhomes.
