No one can answer that for you, even if you provided a lot more information than the absolute bare minimum you did.

Anything is possible. Can you live COMFORTABLY with that big of a reduction in space?

People do it all the time. You will likely notice the reduction in storage and the increase in driving noise the most.

Yes, but it's not too likely. Few super-C are longer than 35 ft, so you are taking a huge loss in space. You will just have to go sit in one for awhile and try to imagine doing it fulltime. Stand in the shower, sit on the toilet, walk around the bedroom area to access closets and drawers, etc. etc. etc. Then decide.

Only you will be able answer that question. Fortunately, you should be able to rent a Class C for a while to find out. Is there a co-pilot involved?

Heck no! It's impossible. Honest, that's that way I feel about it. Therefore, it's probably a good thing that I never did make it up into a 45 footer. It might be that I'm stuck with A 40 ft Dutch Star/Spartan for the rest of my RVing days,......"he said as he left to go buy one more lotto ticket".

Yes, it's possible, we did it. They make super C's up to 45' so it depends on what you want. C's built on a class 6, 7 or 8 truck chassis are what I call real Super C's. The C's built on the Ford or Ram Chassis are more like C+'s, just my opinion. There are trade off's of course, only you can decide if they will work for you.
