An Overview of the Different Classes of Motorhomes
If you’re thinking about purchasing an RV for your family vacations, you should consider getting a motorhome. For starters, these are spacious and classy drivable recreational vehicles that are perfect for families and couples on vacation.
There are three distinct classes of motorhomes available on the market. While this makes it easier to find the perfect one for your lifestyle, it can be confusing for buyers, especially those unfamiliar with the different categories. That’s why our experts at Jim’s Trailer Sales have created this guide to provide you with an overview of each motorhome class. Read on to know more, and then visit us at our dealership to explore a few models in person. We’re in Grafton, OH, where we happily welcome our patrons from Cleveland.
Class A Motorhomes
The first type, the Class A motorhomes, are the largest and the most luxurious of all the three types and mostly resemble a tour bus. These come with spacious living quarters, one or two private bedrooms, bathrooms, and an exquisite kitchen. Class A motorhomes are ideal for traveling crews of up to 10 passengers. Depending on your preference, you can choose either a gas or a diesel-powered engine. However, remember that the diesel models are usually on the higher end of the price range.
Class B Motorhomes
Class B motorhomes are compact and affordable models that are perfect for couples and solo travelers. These are built on a commercial van chassis and come with beds, bathrooms, sinks, and TVs in a compact and easy-to-use space.
They generally do not feature larger bathrooms and showers—if you need these amenities, let our friendly team show you the exact models that do.
The compact size of Class B motorhomes makes them easier to maneuver and park and offers better gas mileage than other comparable models.
Class C Motorhomes
If you’re looking for a model that’s smaller than Class A motorhomes but bigger and more luxurious than Class B rigs, you’ll want to go with a Class C motorhome. These are also known as alcove motorhomes, and they are ideal for families on vacation.
Class C motorhomes are built with a cut-away chassis, which gives the front structure a van-like look. Another distinguishing feature of these models is an overhanging space above the cockpit, and they often feature one or more slide-outs to help create more space.
Travel enthusiasts who need a heavier and sturdier RV with better towing capacities will want to go with a Super C motorhome. These have diesel-powered engines, and they can haul heavy payloads, such as your car.
After you have parked your Super C motorhome at the campground, you can use your car to explore attractions in your vicinity instead of lugging your massive rig.
We hope this guide helps you find the perfect motorhome for your trips. If you need more advice, connect with our experts at Jim’s Trailer Sales. We’re in Grafton, OH, and we’re proud to serve those from Cleveland, so stop by today.
