Where I really envy a Class A

Owning a Class C myself, where I really envy the A's is their cab seats being good inward-facing lounge chairs too. If our little C could do that, and the TV was in easy view amidships, it would transform the comfort factor in the dark winter evenings out here in Arizona.

Yes, there are many other ways that an A beats a C. Most of them I can live without in order to have the smaller rig. But even a small C could benefit from a well thought out pair of swivel cab seats.

Do the Views and Navions have them?
Currently RV-less but not done yet.

I missed the swivel seats in my old Class A so
I did a seat in my Class C Like This

I think the OP did the same on a previous RV.

They make the swivel bases for Many other seats

We owned a '79 Higgins Delta 23 foot class C with seats that swiveled backwards. 'Twas on a Chevy van chassis. Floor plan was weird otherwise, but it had a bathtub in the large rear bathroom, jackknife sofa, folding table dinette, ornate Keebler Cottage cabinetry and fancy amber etc., lighted ceiling, deep orange shag carpets(!!)Dรฉcor was like an Alpine restaurant.

Our C has a step up from the cab to the house. It would be nice if the cab seats could swivel, but it's not that big of a deal for us. With the sofa on the living room slide out and the dinette across from the sofa, it's pretty cozy.

Neither my wife nor I have any problem standing up in the cab and walking to the back. We close off the cab with a thermal curtain to keep the heat in the house in the winter and the cool in the house in the summer.

we went from pop up to TT's then a class C hated it from day 1 a big mistake. Found a class A that needed major TLC. We are now HAPPY campers

We have a new '15 mh. the cab seats do swivel around for seats in the coach, BUT the coach floor is 3" taller, which in not all that comfortable with your knees a little high.

Sure it'd be nice to have swivel seats in the cab, but for me, it isn't worth going to an A. I can easily move from the cab to the back, my windshield is plenty big for viewing, and the dogs love their "personal" section of the RV when we're parked. They happily sit in the cab seats looking out the windshield for hours at a time, while I get comfy in the back.

Our best friends have a 2014 Navion and their seats do turn around and face the living area. Really nice feature.

One of the reasons we went with A's is the reuse of the front seats and that great big picture window. Not all A's have seats that turn 180 degrees. The Hurricane I had limited the turn to 90 degrees which we did not notice until after we bought it.

When we went from a TT to an A we looked at a few Cs. My wife could not go from the cab to the house without getting out and using the side door. I could do it but it wasn't easy. That is one reason we went with an A.
