My wife and I recently started doing our research and looking at some RV's. We eliminated travel trailers (due to lack of tow vehicle) and recently been doing a lot of research on Class A motorhomes, and will be looking at some this weekend.
With that said, I think we haven't given the Class C's a proper look. Being that it's our first RV, we're thinking it could be better on our budget. We expect to look at some of the following models:
Thor Freedom
Thor Four Winds
Thor Chateau
Minnie Winnie
These just happen to be the brands that are carried at the dealerships we're going to. We're looking for something about 30ft +/- a few feet. Must have at least one slide and must have dinette and sofa. We'd also be looking at models that fall between the $90-100k range (MSRP) I also have a few questions and hoping some of you may have some insight.
1- Are there any brands or models that are typically reccomended and others to stay away from? Winnie is always highly regarded with the A models, does the same go with the Cs?
2 - My research (and experience when helping my parents purchase their RV) shows that Class A RV's art typically marked up about 30-35%. Can I expect this same type of markup with a Class C?
3- Are there any significant differences that I can expect between a Class C and a Class A? For instance options like generators, leveling jacks, etc.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Question 1; visit this thread and ron.dittmer explanantion of Class C's and quality mfg'ers.

Question 2 - Yes new Class C's and for most part all RV types have the mark-up pricing games.
Question 3 - Options no, setup & frames, yes.....
Keep searching many threads on Class C vs. Class A, many threads on opinions on best rigs, etc....
Good luck and get out there make lasting adventures.
