We purchased our Class A in early November. But we looked seriously at some class C's early in the fall. We were making the leap from years of pop-up camping and I thought the gradual change from that to a class C made sense. But I didn't particularly like any of the units I looked at. The ones with the entertainment systems above the cab were the most appealing since our kids are grown now. But ultimately we took the plunge to a class A. I didn't feel like we could get as much for our money with a class C but I only researched that option for a few weeks. I'm certain others may have a different opinion. In the end we found the right unit for us and I'm very pleased with our Ambassador.
