Never really thought about the safety part of it. Thanks for all the great input. Would I be safe in guessing the A would be about 2 mpg less?

Better visibility(you sit higher and have a larger windshield) in the Class A from a sightseeing and safety standpoint.
For the same length, the Class A will have more usable sq ft of floor space.
You are half right. The Class C wins the safety component hands down. You won't find air bags in a Class A and there is next to nothing between you and a front end impact (except that oversized windshield). Try escaping an A (vs a C), in an accident or fire, three doors vs one. There are lots of good things about Class A's but safety is simply not one of them.

I would guess that if I had a head-on with an automobile in my Class A I would be looking down at the wreckage. In a Class C, you may have air bags but you are also at the same level as the automobiles.

Just got away from trailers and shopping for a motorhome.
26-28' Triton power, 1-2 years old. It seems for the same money I can get a A or a C. Would like some input for and against each aside from the obvious cab layout.
thanks
