If you are considering buying a new RV, there are plenty of reasons you should definitely check out Class C motorhomes. A Class C motorhome enables you to easily go wherever you wish without needing a powerful truck to tow a heavy fifth-wheel or other trailer.

Lower Purchase Price

Price is one of the primary reasons many people choose a Class C motorhome. While Class A motorhomes can be a great option, they can also be incredibly pricey. Many Class A motorhomes will set you back hundreds of thousands of dollars, whereas you can usually find a comparable Class C motorhome that costs anywhere from $40,000 to $150,000. 

Less Fuel and Maintenance Costs

Class C motorhomes are also cheaper to use and easier to maintain. A newer Class C motorhome should get somewhere between 15 and 20 miles per gallon. This is a huge improvement over Class A motorhomes, which usually struggle to get anything over 5 to 10 miles per gallon. This added fuel savings is definitely a huge benefit, but Class C motorhomes also tend to be easier and cheaper to maintain. The reason is that most any mechanic should be able to work on your Class C motorhome engine and chassis, which usually isn’t the case with larger Class A motorhomes. 

Easier to Drive

Another reason that Class C motorhomes are so popular is that they are far easier to drive. If you’ve ever driven an older style truck, you should be able to easily handle any Class C motorhome with just a little practice. Although any motorhome can seem a bit daunting to drive at first, there is no doubt that Class C vehicles are far easier to drive, maneuver and park than their larger Class A counterparts.

More Options for Where You Can Go

The smaller size of Class C motorhomes also makes them far more suitable for most situations. With a Class C model, you’ll generally never have to worry about height clearances like you might with a Class A model. The smaller motorhomes are also easier to park and fit into smaller campsites. In addition, many Class A motorhomes exceed the maximum size limits at national parks and other campgrounds. Many of these places only allow RVs up to 30 feet long, which is generally the maximum size of even the biggest Class C motorhomes.  

Although a Class C motorhome isn’t the best choice for everyone, all of these factors mean it is definitely something you should consider. By opting for a Class C motorhome, you can make it easy to travel and camp wherever you want. You can also save money that you can then put towards actually using your motorhome and going on trips.
