Back to the original question, Class C's feel more like driving a conventional van, as they are built on a van chassis, and have a van cockpit area. The downside is that it is easy to forget how tall and wide you are particularly if you have experience driving a standard van. With a Class A, you are sitting higher up, further outboard, and further forward as relates to the front axle, so that it is much harder to forget how tall and wide the coach is compared to being in a class C. After a few days driving the class A you will tend to adjust to the new view point, at which point performance differences will tend to be minimal, all else being equal.
As to sleeping area layout, etc. it is true that Class A's tend to be designed to sleep 2 people, and Class C's tend to be designed to sleep a family of 5-7 by turning every potential bit of space into a bed, at the expense of bathroom, kitchen, etc. areas. There are plenty of exceptions to this rule out there, and you just have to find the one that works for you.
