Classes of Motor Homes and RVs There are 9 different classes for MotorHomes and RVs made by 80 different manufacturers in the United States in Canada.  All of them have different characteristics but the main factor in all them is the price. On the smaller side of the spectrum, Motorhomes and RVs can run from $5,000 but then on the other side they can get anywhere up to $300,000!  There are some that can even store another smaller vehicle in the back but their hulls may cost upwards to a million to be installed. Check out which different types are produced and don’t be one of the misinformed consumers that spends way too much money.

As stated earlier, there are 9 different classes for Mobile type Homes.  The first three can be called MotorHomes but also include a few RVs. The Class A Motor Homes are usually the larger ones that span up to 30 feet in length. The used MotorHomes usually cost around $11,000 but Class A MotorHomes bought brand new will usually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so tread lightly when making a purchase.

It’s easy to see the Class B Campers and MotorHomes by their size which comes in at a smaller 14-20 feet. These come built around a typical Van body and cost from $11,000 to $30,000.  These ones seem to be more popular for camping type trips.

The Class C MotorHomes are similar to A as they are built around a truck chassis and around the same price range as well. The difference is that an overhang is built over the top of the truck to maximize storage efficiency.

On the next largest step of the scale is what is called the 5th wheel trailer. What this is, is a trailer that is hooked up to be dragged behind a typical car or truck. Don’t attempt to drag these around with a typical car, you’ll need a good sturdy hook-up and a strong truck to pull these around. These are usually modified from the original truck and can range from 30 feet to 40 feet long fetching a price anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000.

The nice things about these however is that you don’t have to take them everywhere you go, simply unhook them from the back and take your normal truck out for a spin. Just remember that any conventional vehicle can’t tow these, usually a commercial size truck is required for them.

These can be used for many needs including camping, moving in to other places such as college dorms, any type of road trip, or just getting out of the house for a while.  There are a great number of them out there so look at your budget because they can range anywhere from $5000 to millions.
