Handling two adults and two kids is not a problem for almost any size of Class A motorhome. If you haven't driven a large vehicle very much (no idea of the size of your Class C), I would suggest spending some time in one and behind the wheel if possible. Maybe rent one for a weekend. Pulling a car behind adds another dimension to the driving experience. Get an idea of the size you need by doing some serious online and in person research. Towing a car isn't much of a stretch for most Class A RVs today. There are so many variations of all Class A motorhomes today that it can get confusing. Set your budget and then pick your size. I think it is a great idea to expose the kids to an adventure like that but do your research first on what you need/want and can afford.
