My wife has driven all of our RV's. 24' class C, 34' A, 40' DP, 45'DP, 33' super C, 37' 5th wheel and 3 different truck campers. She does prefer interstate only but has done some other roads also. I started her on the small class c and we worked our way up over 26 years.
She drove our gas Class C when we had one about 14 years ago. She would never drive our class A's even though they were small by Class A terms. Personally I find the A easier to drive despite the F53 being the beast it is but I could never talk her into it and I wasn't going to die on that hill trying. If my thinking is correct, a Super C seems to be the best in terms of what we are looking for. Easy to drive, track, plenty of towing capacity, safety etc.
That said, the other day she mentioned a small C on a Sprinter Chassis. I just put my head in my hands. Given my druthers I'd get a 42' DP and consent to drive 100% of the time and be done with it. On the upside, we have plenty of time to do our due diligence. One thing we can rule out is a Class A gasser, too exhausting and loud to drive more than a few hours a day. Gas C's can also take it out of you.
