Which Motorhome Class or Type is Right for You?

Are you in the market for a new or used motorhome, but don’t understand which class or type is right for you? Each classification has certain advantages and disadvantages. Below are the main differences between each class of motorhomes:

1. Bus Conversion (Very high end costing $500,000 and up)

2. Class A Motorhome (Luxury and stylish)

3. Class C Motorhome (Affordable and family friendly)

4. Class B Motorhome (Small, fuel efficient and for limited use)

A bus conversion is a custom built motorhome. They are expensive and vary in style and design depending on how much a person wants to spend. Normally costing $500,000 and up. There are only a handful of manufacturers that produce this type of product. Bus conversions appeal to discriminating buyers that want the best of the best.

A Class A motorhome is built on a custom designed truck chassis where the driving compartment is an integral part of the RV interior. Class A motorhomes looks like a bus with a flat front end from top to bottom. They range in size from 30 to 45 feet in length. Class A motorhomes are generally considered the luxury class of motorhome, and the prices of these units can range from $80,000 to over a million dollars. People considering this type of motorhome usually travel two months or more during the year.

Class C motorhomes are often a cab-over configuration with a sleeping area above the cab. Class C motorhomes have become popular with consumers because they cost less compared to a Class A motorhome and they tend to be more fuel efficient. The size of these vehicles has also grown, and now you can get a Class C RV to rival the dimensions of a Class A. The accommodations in some high-end Class C motorhomes compare to Class A motorhomes.

Class B motorhomes is the least defined class in the RV industry, sometimes defined as a “camper van or small conversion van.” Class B motorhomes can range from an old VW Westphalia van to the latest conversion of a large van, which can still be classified as a “van.” These types of motorhomes are forging ahead with slide-outs and features which used to be only available in Class C motorhomes.

FREE GUIDE - Learn How to Spot a Well-Built RV A common mistake with most new RV buyers is that the floor plan is the most important aspect in their RV purchase. It is estimated that over 90% of new RV buyers focus more on floor plans than anything else. In contrast, most experienced or educated RV buyers focus on the chassis or frame, drive train, engine, suspension and exterior construction when selecting a particular RV model. Bottom line - What’s underneath your motorhome, trailer or fifth wheel is the most important aspect and should take top priority in your decision process. Focusing on these important features will ultimately determine how satisfied you are with your purchase.
