Looking at A Class C Motorhome
A Class C motorhome will often be called a mini-motorhome because it is mostly a smaller replica of the Class A motorhome. Of course, there are differences. It has many of the luxuries that the Class A offers, but at less expense.
The driving area resembles that of a truck, van, or car. Most of the Class C motorhomes now are made to go with a cutaway chassis and have passenger and side doors.
The cab-over design is another distinguishing feature of the Class C motorhome. Usually this is a place to sleep. This might be one reason the Class C is not the most acclaimed style of RV, because getting into the bed requires one to be a bit spry. The good part about Class C motorhomes is that many of their auto parts are widely available at auto stores and dealerships.
The Class C motorhome is between 20 and 35 feet long, and the most sought-after styles fall somewhere near 30 feet long. The floorplans have improved to be like those offered in Class A vehicles and can include standard beds that fit with the cab-over area. This is due to the fact that the Class C is now being built on a chassis with a higher rating. You can expect to pay an average cost of $68,000, with a range of $45,000 to $100,000.
The Class C motorhome has become more popular in the current market, which has caused the luxury and amenities to increase. Even though a Class C motorhome is smaller than a Class A, you can still get the same kind of quality.
Some of the improvements in the amenities include a fuller kitchen and bath area similar to what is available with the Class A’s. Most of the models that are on the market will now have sleeping areas that will accommodate from 2-6 people.
Class C’s are now being constructed with two different applications in mind. On the one hand they are ideal for the long weekend for a smaller family (up to four people). On the other hand, they are ideal for just the couple that wants to take a longer trip and not give up the feeling of being at home.
Despite giving up the luxuries and a little bit of the interior space, the Class C actually has some significant advantages over the Class A besides the price. Class C’s are more fuel efficient, and with gas approaching the $4 per gallon mark, this is significant.
A Class C motorhome can also be tucked into smaller spaces and will have more maneuverability. Insurance costs and registration fees will also be less than those of a Class A.
Whether you are looking at Class A or Class C motorhomes, you should think hard about a few final things. No motorhome will be worth buying if you don’t actually get out and use it. Finally, any RV purchase should be examined to make sure it measures up to your wants and needs.
