Class C motorhomes are generally smaller than a Class A, and they have an additional bed over the cab or driver area. While these motorhomes are flexible, they obviously do not have the same space as a Class A Motorhome. Of course, these RVs are a lot easier to park. Fuel, repairs and insurance for Class C Motorhomes are all going to be higher than an SUV or family car.
These motorhomes have been around for years, and now regular travel trailers and Class C motorhomes are being built specifically with a rear garage to haul motorcycles, ATV's, dune buggies, mountain bikes, snowmobiles, jet skis and other big boy toys. Class C motor homes are popular models when it comes to renting a RV, usually available in 22'-29' sizes. They are characterized by a distinctive cab-over bunk.
