Wife fearful in Class A
We have sold our truck & 5th wheel, and are looking at Class As. DW, however, feels quite fearful riding in the ones that we have looked at. Not sure if it's the big windows, or just the size of the C...

Today I drove (in my car) from Branson to OKC on I-44. I passed five Motorhomes on my drive, and since reading this thread I noticed that all five were hugging the white line on the right side, some were a full tire width on the shoulder. After this observation I can see why the passenger would be fearful riding in that seat.
I will share what I think is logical; hug the center and give yourself as much room on the right as possible. This does two things; 1) it makes drivers going the other way a little more aware of you as you are on the center stripe. And 2) those that are NOT paying attention or things that may give you a need to swerve gives you a little more maneuver room on the right. This way if the shoulder goes away, I am still riding that center stripe. I have never, nor will I ever, ride the white stripe on the right. You can't judge that stripe as well as you can the center anyway. Much safer, IMO, to use the strip you can judge best.
There are a lot of fatalities from drivers hugging the right and hitting stranded motorists and police every year as well.....food for thought.
