I full time in a self built VW westy. (I built custom interior has solar/fridge/freezer/tv ect..ect)
Personally, I think you would be doing your self a favor to go rent a class A for a weekend trip or find one to drive around. Going for a weekend trip in one is one thing, having to drive the damn thing everyday for a year plus is another story entirely.
I guess it comes down to how much traveling you want to do. Myself I love to drive and explore so no fucking way was I driving a big ass RV. My van is awesome because I go anywhere I want with it. I want to park in a city and over night no problem, I want to head to the mountains hit a forest road no problem.. park on the beach no problems.... Try to do that with a class A and you will be very very limited..
If you how ever just plan to go hook up at a campground and pay $80/day to sit 4ft away from some old retired guy get the class A.. 8)
Also keep in mind no matter what BS a dealer tells you factory built RV's are meant to go sit in a campground hooked up to an electric plug.
If you want to do a lot of traveling get a van or maybe a class B or a truck with a slide in camper. Skip the oversized matchstick boxes on wheels.
