Class C Motorhomes
There are three different kinds of RVs available today: Class A, Class B, and Class C. At Robby The Camper Man, I recommend Class C to customers who like a spacious mobile home but are on a limited budget. Class C RVs strike the right balance between cost and functionality, which is why they are one of the most popular options for full-timers and part-timers.
Best Class C Motorhomes
Class C mobile homes fall between Class A and Class B when it comes to size. They are built on a truck's chassis and can handle different kinds of driving conditions. They have a cut-away or overhanging cab that provides additional storage or sleeping space. Here's a look at some of the most noticeable characteristics of the best Class C motorhomes:
- Spacious – These vehicles aren't as compact as camper vans, making them an ideal choice for two or more residents. Standard Class C RVs are around 96" wide inside and 99" wide outside. That's enough room to easily accommodate amenities like kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and even entertainment areas for 5-6 people.
- Like a Car – Class C stands out because it has a front that resembles a car. There are driver and passenger seats, dividers, and a clear distinction between the driver’s cab and living areas. Many of my clients prefer this design over Class A or Class B designs because it is easier to keep things organized.
- Cost – A new Class C RV can cost between $50,000 and $100,000, but it is possible to save money by buying a used RV, which can cost as low as $10,000. This means you can purchase one even on a tight budget. Older and smaller vehicles are more affordable, but they have higher maintenance costs.
You can choose from a wide range of designs and layouts. I always ask clients a few questions about their lifestyle, preferences, and priorities before recommending an option. Based on your travel plans, I can advise whether a Class C diesel motorhome is more suitable, or if you should stick with gas.
Used Class C Mobile Home
Clients always ask me whether they should buy a new or used mobile home, and there's no straightforward answer to that. If you're new to this lifestyle and don't want to go full-time, I'd recommend used vehicles. They are more affordable and ideal for a few long trips per year.
I recommend looking at new Class C RVs for sale if you intend to live in one full-time. They are more expensive but have the best amenities and are built according to modern standards. Newer models are more fuel-efficient, require less maintenance, and will last longer. Owners can avoid expensive repairs for a few years, especially if they take care of the vehicle.
