Your Guide to Buying a Class C Motorhome

Class C motorhomes are versatile, comfortable, and perfect for small families on vacation. Although they are more affordable than other comparable RVs, they come in a wide range of styles and sizes and with distinct price tags. This can make it challenging to pick the perfect one for your family. But don’t worry—we are here to help.

Jim’s Trailer Sales is your local RV dealer in Ohio, and our experts have created this guide to discuss a few things to consider when buying a Class C motorhome. Read on to learn more, and then visit our dealership to get your questions addressed.

Fuel Type

The first thing to consider when buying a Class C motorhome is whether to buy a gas-powered camper or a diesel model.

Diesel-powered Class C motorhomes are robust and durable. Usually, they don’t require too much maintenance and servicing to keep working smoothly. But remember that they are costly investments, and some latest models are more expensive than others. On the other hand, gasoline engines are cost-effective and easy to maintain. But when you burn the gas, a strong odor will emanate and fill up your vehicle. This can make it uncomfortable for you and your onboard passengers.

Size

Next, you want to consider the space your family needs to travel comfortably. Although Class C motorhomes are more compact than Class A vehicles, they come in various distinct lengths. You can select a model anywhere from 20 to 30 feet long—so keep your options open. Ideally, you want to factor in parking, storage, and driving preference before finalizing your decision.

Layout

Finally, explore various layouts to see what works. Pay attention to the room size, must-have features, and storage area before making any payments.
