Options for traveling alone or with your family vary far and wide. While many are content to pick a destination and find accommodation there, many prefer the flexibility that motorhomes and motorhomes offer.

Not only do you have more flexibility in where you can go, but you can also travel at your own pace, on your own schedule, with no departure dates or times, apart from the time you’ve committed to vacation, of course.

Options for campervans and motorhomes vary widely. Many who are new to RVs and don’t quite know what they want can easily become confused as to the different classes of vehicles available.

Broadly speaking, recreational vehicles can be divided into 3 classes, including:

Class A Motorhomes – 21-40 feet long

The largest of the three classes, these are true “houses on wheels.” They are built on a sturdy frame, sometimes a commercial bus or truck. Most have a minimum of 2 sliders and are very spacious with plenty of room for living, cooking, sleeping and storage. Class A motorhomes can comfortably accommodate between 6 and 12 people.

Class B Motorhomes – 16-21 feet long

These motorhomes are the smallest of the three classes and are more commonly known as motorhomes as they look like vans. In fact, they’re built on a van chassis and they maneuver quite easily, especially compared to the A-Class. While they’re easier to drive and get better fuel economy, they’re smaller and don’t have a seat gap. of the driver and the driver’s seat. kitchen/bathroom/bedroom areas. The entire bathroom, for example, also functions as a shower.

While much smaller, motorhomes can be driven virtually anywhere and can be easily parked in your own driveway.

Class C Motorhomes – 20-28 feet long

These mid-size motorhomes are built on a cab chassis and are characterized by the sleeping area above the cab, which unlike a motorhome, opens up more area for the living room, kitchen and bathroom. Some Class C motorhomes include a rear bedroom and most have one or two sliders. However, Class C motorhomes are more difficult to maneuver in tight spots and generally require you to tow a second vehicle for touring etc.

Another way to think about motorhomes and motorhomes is the fact that an RV will have a divider between the cabin and the bedrooms. A motorhome will not have this division and only includes the basic facilities for cooking, washing and sleeping.

Which one you choose depends on a number of factors ranging from how comfortable you are driving, where you need to go, and how many people will be traveling with you.

Each option is best suited for particular situations, so think about some of the factors listed above when looking at which RV to choose.
