Tom,
I think you are neither fish nor fowl for this one. Class A is a club
or 3 or more person portable. Class B is 1 or 2 person portable, but
both class A and B have to use non-commercial power.
Class E is home station on emergency power: battery, generator, hamster
in a wheel, etc. While this isn't your "home" station you will be on
the power mains, so I would use 1D.
I doubt if anyone will shoot you or take your magic decoder ring if you
get it wrong.
