So you have decided that a motorhome is for you, the problem is that the decisions don’t stop there. You now have to decide which class motorhome suits you the most as there are three to choose from. Below are the main differences between them all so you will have a clearer idea which one matches your lifestyle
These are the biggest RV’s you can get, the sizes range from anywhere from 25 feet to 45 feet in length which as you can see will provide you sufficient space for even the biggest of families. As well as being the biggest available they probably are the most costly, prices start from around $50,000 and up.
They are highly customizable as you can ask for specific builds which include various luxury pieces of equipment which will bump up the price. There are Class A motorhomes that easily run into the $1,000,000 and above bracket.
Class B Motorhome
These are the lower end of the motorhome market, they cost far less then both Class A and Class C but have less features included. If you’re looking for a good method of getting out for a quiet weekend then this class may suit you the best. It will easily sleep around two people comfortable and there are ones that will match any budget. A rough estimate in which you would find a decent motorhome would be looking at around $30,000. Class B is often referred to as a ‘camper van’ motorhome as it uses the same chassis but with an extended roof giving more room.
Class C are similar to Class A motorhomes and often referred to as ‘minis’. They are becoming the most popular type of RV you can get so the equipment included is improving as time goes on. Research has shown that Class C are often safer with the drivers area in a separate cabin at the front of the vehicle, they tend to include more safety features such as airbags and seat belts which makes them popular amongst families. You can be expected to pay around $35,000 for a Class C motorhome, if you want more luxury items integrated into it then the price will go up depending on what you have.
