RV Type: Motorhomes
Back to RV TypesClass A Motorhomes
Class A motorhomes are characterized as having a bus style chassis and shape. The lower end class A's are mostly front gas engine equipped, while more expensive ones are known as "diesel pushers." These have a diesel engine in the rear of the coach.
At the top of this group you'll find luxury models that easily eclipse the half million dollar mark. They can be factory ordered but are a favorite for celebrities and retired executives and can be customized to accomodate any tastes or requirements. Jacuzzis, dance floors with disco lighting, stow-away compartments under carriage for those wanting to bring their sports cars along to name a few.
At the lowest end the price of admission is about $65,000 and many ussed motorhomes are available for less.
Class B Motorhomes
Class B Motorhomes, or van conversions, utilize a modified van body and provide basic amenities in a very compact space. This RV is most likely to double as a second car.
If driving, maneuvering, and backing up is daunting in a full-sized Class A Motorhome then the Class B Motorhome will be a much better choice, the trade-off is living space.
Don't be fooled though, inthe last 5 or 6 years manufacturers have designed some fantastic interiors in these pint-sized RVs. These units can now easily cost upwards of $140,000 depending on options.
Class C Motorhomes
Most Class C Motorhomes are built on a cutaway chassis that comes complete with manufactured cab. Easily recognizable by the bed-over-cab design these units are almost always gas powered and seldom grow beyond 30 ft. making them another alternative to the larger Class A.
They often sleep up to eight and are a favorite among families. Features and luxury options create a price range of $60,000 to $200,000.
