Rented a Class A...NEVER again.
We crossed over to the dark side temporarily.....or are truck campers the dark side? I forget. Spent 2 weeks in a "very popular brand" class A that we rented from a local dealer here in Michigan. M...

One problem with pretty much all the class As are that they are RVs. RVs are built only in prototype quantities, not enough to build tooling, test things, etc. This shows up very glaringly in the cab, which is a cobbled together, rattly affair of dime store gages in even the most expensive units. A good successful run is what, 200 units? Ford or Chevy builds at least 5 times that many just to test. Dashboards, doors, controls, etc are all fully tooled parts. They go on to build many millions of each, Class As are basically built in a garage out of spare parts and stuff from Home Depot.
If you say you can take your class A anywhere you can take your TC you are not being very adventurous - at all - with your TC. The class A I had exhibited near zero off road ability, even badly maintained secondary highways were a challenge if you valued the coach or its contents.
One great advantage of the class A not mentioned is the storage. We traveled with huge empty compartments, just couldn't think of enough stuff to put in them.
