We had a year 2000 33' class A. It was way more to drive then out current 26' class C. wondered all over the road. wind had a huge impact. Heavy so harder on the engine. Infact my class C (e450) towing a 7,000lb boat is much easier then the A towing nothing.

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
