Class C Motorhomes – The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Maneuverability

Class C motorhomes are the versatile middle ground between compact camper vans and large Class A coaches. Recognizable by their over-cab sleeping or storage area, they offer a great mix of drivability, living space, and value.

What is a Class C Motorhome?

Class C motorhomes are self-propelled RV’s built on a cutaway van or truck chassis, with the distinctive cab-over section above the driver’s area. This space can be used as an extra bed, entertainment area, or storage.


Inside, you’ll typically find a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower, dinette, and a dedicated bedroom. They’re easier to drive and park than Class A’s while still offering much more living space and amenities than a Class B.
