As to where you can go. I saw a Class A DP at the top of High Mesa in the Uncompahgre National Forest this week...it was impressive. I’m sure it took them several hours to get it up the switchbacks but it was in good shape and they had an amazing camping spot. So where one will go is largely up to you!
We've been up there, also. I don't recall any difficulty.?
Another advantage of a Class C is it has a true truck cab which is a safety feature that can come in handy during an accident.

After looking at dozens of class A and C units, when we make the jump from travel trailer to a MH it will be a Super C......nothing like the raw durability and robust over the road truck under you.
Does the overhang of a 33 footer ever jam you up? Does it drag alot?
No jam ups or dragging. There is a tail swing that I keep alert to when making turns. If there is a steep entrance or exit on the paved road, parking lot, or driveway then I take it at an angle to decrease the chance of the rear dragging. It does have bars on the frame underneath to protect everything should it bottom out. I do not try to force it into places.

Super C is what I am looking at to purchase in a few years. They are nice.
We had a Class C for 12 years and a Class A before that. We knew that when we went fulltime we were going to have to have either a Class A or a fifth wheel. There just was not enough storage space in the Class C, especially basement storage. And we had a large C at almost 32’.

It depends on what you want to store. We lived full time for 1 1/2 years in a 24-foot Class C. We are indoor people so we had two camp chairs for visiting with other people but no charcoal grill.

Money is a big part of my decision to go Class C. My new Minnie Winnie was $92K inc sales tax and license. 3 slides and HWH levelers. A comparable Class A Diesel would have been more than double this, a figure I couldn't afford.
If I win the lottery, I will buy a Class A to try it out. I'm sure it would be fun to try on for size! Especially now that I know it won't tip over in the wind.

Which is the reason that we, and may others choose to go fulltime in a gasoline powered class A. Long ago I discovered that no matter what sort of RV you have, the scenery looks just as good and the sun is just as warm as it is for those in the most expensive RVs available. What is important is that you enjoy your RV travels, not what the "experts" believe that you should have done.

We purchased a 3 yr old used DP when we started. Had everything we wanted, and have had it for 14 years now.
