First, where are you going? If you will will be staying at an RV park with hook ups (ie. water, sewer, electricity etc.) you have fewer limitations as to the motorhome you should take. Whereas, without hook ups you may want to consider a Class A. Class A's have larger fresh water capacity, holding tanks and greater battery capacity for extended dry camping. Although Class C's and Class A's are both self contained, you will need to take on fresh water, empty your holding tanks and charge your batteries more frequently with a Class C due to the reduced capacities.

Many people feel that it is easier to drive a Class C. However, both classes are the same width and nearly the same height. The only difference is in the length. Most people who have driven both prefer to drive the Class A's because they sit higher and give a better view of the road. Neither require a special class of driver's license and both are simple to drive with a little instruction and a short time behind the wheel.

If you will be driving a long distance and want the convenience of not having to stop often , you may want a Class A. They usually have a larger gas tank to reduce the number of fill ups. Travel trailers allow you the flexibility of leaving the trailer at your camp site and having your tow vehicle to run around town in. Because they have no mileage charges, they are a good choice for longer driving trips.

In general, the larger the motorhome is, the more space and comfort you are going to have. However, with the increased size comes a new set of concerns such as where you can park it, which campgrounds you can go to and increased rental costs.

There are some things that you should not have to consider. For instance, both types of motorhomes will have power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission and cruise control, etc.
