Choosing a Motorhome
Whether this is your first recreational vehicle or you’re looking to upgrade, choosing a motorhome can be a great way to enjoy camping trips. Motorhomes come with their own drivetrain, so there’s no towing involved. We’ve provided some tips to help you buy the right motorhome for you and your family, so read on to learn more!
Motorhome Classes
The broad definition of what motorhomes look like has expanded so much over the years that the industry decided to break down them into three subcategories, known as classes.
Class A motorhomes are generally the largest of the three. They exceed 25 feet in length and feature some of the largest and most luxurious interiors. You can spot them by their flat fronts and panoramic windshields. Think of them like large buses you can live in. They’re a popular choice among big families and full-time RVers.
Class B motorhomes are the smallest of the three, often made from van chassis. They feature comfortable accommodations and many of the basic features of RV living, but in a much smaller area. You probably won’t have all the fancy bells and whistles, but they’re easier to maneuver even in cities. They can usually sleep one or two people, so single travelers or couples can use them as an easy way to explore the country.
Class C motorhomes are often thought of as the in-between when it comes to size, luxury, and price. You can recognize them from their truck chassis, which means that the front part resembles a truck. These motorhomes are great for families who need enough room but still want great value.
Amenities
The types of amenities you want will also affect your final choice. Not only do your options tend to change from one class to another, but even different models within each class can vary greatly. The more amenities you have and the more up-to-date they are, the more expensive your camper will be.
Size
The motorhome size will be important and directly correlates with how many people you’ll need to accommodate. Your first priority will be that there’s a safe place for everyone to sit. Next, think about how many sleeping arrangements you’ll need. Depending on how many people you invite, you might need to share a bed or two, but don’t leave someone sleeping on the floor because you wanted to save a little money.
Finally, consider what’s going to make you most comfortable. If you’re traveling alone, but want the extra room, then get yourself the extra space. Look for models with slide-outs to maximize the amount of space you have to work with.
There might be a lot more to add to your list of priorities, but eventually, you’ll want to see some models for yourself.
