I went with a 32' Class C because it was plenty big enough for me and still is because I travel solo. It was also very easy for me to drive. My biggest problem is being only 5'1" tall. I test drove a 36' Class A and in order to reach the pedals, I had to push the seat so far forward that the steering wheel was shoved into my stomach. Ouch! Also, I could not reach the visors to adjust them. I figured driving with my handicap grabber to adjust the visors and radio was not a good option.
In addition, I wanted the option to sleep my kids and grandkids and most As are really made for a couple, not a grandma plus family.
I really am happy with what I have, especially because it has two big slides. However, it would be nice to have a larger cargo carrying capacity and a fancier driver's seat, plus some other luxury items in the cab and some better interior finishes. (The bigger cargo carrying capacity is to be able to carry a full tank of fresh water with me and not worry about the weight of that and un-dumped waste tanks.) If I ever win or inherit some serious money, I might try trading this one in for a small A--maybe 34'. I think I would have to work with the manufacturer to get adjustable pedals or pedal extensions and/or other modifications because of my height and arm length. I used to have a minivan with adjustable pedals and a nice power seat and movable steering wheel that enabled me to reach things, so I don't know why Class A manufacturers assume every driver is a 5'10" man.
Note: I have to buy new because of allergies to pets and cigarette smoke.
