From the OP: Several have inquired about the reason we anticipate downsizing from an A to a C. Primarily, it's because my wife will not drive the A and believes driving a C would be much easier. Due mostly to my age, I would like for her to be able to comfortably drive the MH to relieve me and in the event I could not continue driving due to a possible health reason. Two able drivers simply makes sense to me.
May I humbly suggest a private, not a group, driving lesson for your DW. It will make all the difference in the world. Also do the measurements. Most class C's are as wide as or nearly so as class A. The cab itself might be narrower but the body is built out to the same width as most class A's cost wise however we did find that class C's may be a bit cheaper for a given length. Some class B's get pretty wide behind the cab area as well.
The width is what in most cases is the scary and limiting factor. Think conjested traffic or construction zones. Give DW a driving lesson, both of you will feel better I promise.
