There are a few things I miss about the A. First the front windshield. It was like you were open to the road and all the scenery. in the C its like a van. Not near the same impact when seeing mother natures wonders. I also miss the storage. The full basement was awesome.
One of the biggest reasons I went with a C vs even a vega is it is easier to get the chassis serviced. We had a workhorse chassis and it was near impossible to find someone to work on it when we blew a front wheel bearing. Called lots of truck places and they said we don't work on RV's. Called Car dealers and they wouldn't work on RV's. Maybe not a problem for routine maintenance but when you are broke down you want the most options.
If we were to go larger it would be a super C or toter home but never again a A

I have found that regular Ford dealers and and shops that work on light trucks are happy to work on the E350/450 chassis. The Axis even fits in most Jiffy Lube type places to get your oil changed. I had about 2" on each side of the mirrors at a Jiffy Lube in Colorado last summer, but it fit. Made the wife really nervous. As long as you tell the Ford dealers that you want them to work on the chassis only, in three years, I have never had a problem. And at 25', the Axis is shorter than your Class C - and it has a huge front windshield.
