Class B Motorhomes – Compact, Efficient, and Easy to Drive

Class B motorhomes are the nimble adventurers of the RV world — compact, fuel-efficient, and easy to drive.

What is a Class B Motorhome?

Class B motorhomes, often called a camper vans, are a compact, self-propelled RV built on a van chassis. These rigs combine the convenience of a daily driver with the comfort of a small RV, making them ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small families who want the freedom to go almost anywhere.

Class B RVs are fully self-contained, typically including a small kitchen, wet bath (combined toilet and shower), and convertible sleeping areas. Their compact size makes them easy to maneuver in cities, fit into regular parking spots, and access campsites that larger RVs can’t reach — all while providing the basic amenities you need for short or long trips.
