We have a class A RV, a 35' Tiffin Allegro Bay. We bought it used for what I think was a great deal, then spent $3000+ on new tires, upgraded some electronics, and now it mostly just sits in our yard (although we try and use it once a month or so).
But, even though it's not used all the time, I'm glad we bought it... when we do use it, it's really nice to have a home on wheels. I love the room of the class A, even going down the road. Stopped with the slideouts extended makes things even better. We have 50 amp electrical, dual A/C units, auto-leveling jacks, an in-motion DirecTV system (so we can watch satellite while moving), our bathroom is pretty roomy, I can actually fit in the shower (6'2", 225 lbs), our tanks are large enough that we won't run out of water (or have shit coming up through the toilet), and it drives pretty darn good for being so large.
That said, there are a few things I will do differently on our next one. Our next one will be larger. They don't get any wider, but the extra length would be nice. I think next time we'll look in the 39'-40' range, with an extra half bathroom. The extra room should allow for a king sized be, too. The queen bed in ours is too small for my liking. I'll also be getting a diesel next time. Ours is gas, and it works fine for most trips, but I could definitely feel it having issues with large hills and through the mountains, and that is without pulling a trailer or toad (tow behind vehicle). The diesels are also rear engines, which I would prefer, and are considerably heavier. I do have some issues when passing (or getting passed by) semi trucks on the highway. Our RV is only 20,000 pounds, and you can feel yourself being pushed wide by the trucks beside you.
But, I don't foresee trading ours in any time soon... what we have works great, and for 90% of our travels it serves it's purpose. Most of our trips are to the Keys to go diving, but we did take a 2500 mile round trip this year to Rocklahoma (outside of Tulsa, OK) coming home via St. Louis, without having a single issue.
And, we use it for work, too... (tax break!), with a site and DVD line featuring life on the road.
Here are some pics of ours...

At Rocklahoma (man, was it nice to have A/C, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a comfy bed!). I tried not to blow the generator exhaust into the tents of the people next to us, though

And, I leave you with a pic of us working (BTW, who's driving this thing?):
