As you might gather if you've read some of my other posts, I'm looking for a family MH that can sleep a couple of kids outside the general living area. Having discovered the rarity of 10+ year-old, bunk-equipped diesel pusher Class A units, I have to consider a Class C that has cab-over sleeping. Not quite the level of segregated space I hoped for, but way better than what 99% of Class A units have offer. And at 29-31 feet seeming to the general top size (even those look pretty ungamley to me, with about a mile of rear axle overhang!), Class C would rob us of around ten feet of space we'd hoped for. All that aside, I have developed my own ideas regarding the positives and negatives of a Class C. I'll throw out my top five; please point out anything I'm overlooking or incorrect about:
Good: 1) cheaper to acquire, 2) potentially better MPG on cheaper fuel, 3) parts cheaper and easier to find (Autozone, junkyard when warranted), 4) better safety equipment (i.e. front air bags and partial automotive structure), 5) all around roomier, from longer floor plans to huge under-rig storage.
Not so good: 1) compromised towing capacity, 2) no air brakes or engine brake, 3) engine noise right next to you, 4) not as smooth and comfortable to drive, 5) less storage and over smaller floor plan availability.
Thanks!
