Class C Motorhomes Compared To Class A Motorhomes

Julie Jacobs — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:41:12 +0000

Class C motorhomes are sometimes known as mini-motor homes because they are smaller versions of Class A RVs. Class C motorhomes are similar to their larger counterpart in many ways, such as luxury, but are sold at a much lesser price.

When driving Class C motorhomes, the space feels more like a truck or van, rather than a motor coach. Class C motorhomes are built on what is called a cutaway chassis. They have passenger and side doors, as do Class A RVs.

There is a cab over area above the driving space in Class C motorhomes. This helps to distinguish it from other types of RVs. Often, the cab over is a sleeping space in Class C motorhomes. This could vary from RV to RV, but that is rare.

Class C motorhomes range from 20 to 35 feet in length, with the most common length around 30 feet. Floor plans vary from manufacturer, but you will find that they complement many of the Class A motor coach floor plan options. The prices will range anywhere from $45,000 to over $100,000. This, as with an RV, will vary depending on the make you select, the model, the amount of upgrades or amenities, etc.

This size of RV is often considered popular because of the option to upgrade it to be as luxurious as the owner sees fit. It is up to the owner of the RV to know his/her budget, select the unit and then upgrade and add amenities.

As far as upgrades, you could expand the size of the bathroom space, and/or kitchen space. The kitchen space could acquire more appliances or nicer countertops. The unit could be upholstered with nicer fabrics or draperies. Some Class C RV owners have added more sleeping space or larger beds, sleeping up to six people.

As manufacturers design this RV unit, they think of people who live in their unit full time or on lengthy periods of travel, thus it is comfortable. These units have all of the basics and comforts your home would.

As previously mentioned, the interior space of the Class C unit is not as spacious as the Class A unit. The positive in this is that it takes less fuel to haul it or drive it from place to place. Thus, you save money upfront on purchase price and you save fuel money over the long haul. People who favor this RV also remark that it is more maneuverable when parking or camping in smaller spaces.

When shopping for a new or used RV, make sure to know what you can afford and what the different types of RVs are available. Make a smart decision and buy an RV that is sized to complement your lifestyle on the road.

Class C RV With Pets On Board

Julie Jacobs — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:15:25 +0000

A lot of Class C RV owners and other models of motor homes are taking to the road with their pets in tow. You can save money by traveling in your Class C RV and taking your pet(s) with you because you do not have to spend money on boarding the animals or hiring someone to take care of them. There are many locations that welcome pets, so take your Class C RV on a pet friendly vacation.

You no longer are required to worry about leaving your pets at home when you take your Class C RV out on the road for a weekend trip or long-term vacation. The following tips are a great resource for you to take the time to read if you think that you will be traveling in your Class C RV or towable unit with one or more pets.

Class C RV Tips on Pet Travel:

1. Remember that it may be easier to get a younger dog or cat acclimated to traveling in a Class C RV than an older pet. Pets need to get used to living on the road and in a moving Class C RV or travel trailer unit.

2. When the motor home unit is moving, you will need to secure your pet safely. This protects you, the driver, from being distracted. It also helps protect the pet in case of swift movements or quick stops. You can find tailored harnesses for animals that connect to the seatbelt of the unit.

3. If you are traveling with your animal(s), it is important that you make sure they have a collar and tag that has your contact information. Make sure your contact information is legible and current. Take a photo of your pet(s) to use as a reference, in case they get away from you.

4. You can also microchip your pet for low cost at your vet, which will provide additional security and pet safety. A microchip will be tagged typically inside the ear of the animal. They allow the vet to pinpoint the location of your animal via technology.

5. Track your vacation map and think about contacting the motor home camp grounds where you will be stopping at along your route. You will want to confirm that pets are allowed and are welcome on site. You will find that many camp grounds accommodate pets, but some still do not. You would not want to show up and be turned away. Some high-end, luxury RV campgrounds offer exclusive dog parks for the enjoyment of their customers as an added amenity.

Class C Motorhome Fulltime Living

Julie Jacobs — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:05:36 +0000

Are you a weekender, traveling in your Class C motorhome over the summer or off and on throughout the year, but you are eager to assess the possibility of living on the road fulltime? Are you worried whether or not you will make the right decision by living in your Class C motorhome all day, every day? Are you nervous about finance? Lifestyle changes? The long term commitment?

Read below for three tips on changing from traveling weekends or short vacations with your Class C motorhome to living life on the road full time. You will find that living in your Class C motorhome fulltime is not as overwhelming as you may think. You can easily make your Class C motorhome into a more traditional home. It can be a smooth and hassle free experience.

Three helpful tips to how and why you should move into your Class C motorhome and experience life as a fulltimer:

1. It is necessary that you think positively about your Class C motorhome and all that it can offer you while living on the road. You are sure to know that you can upgrade your Class C motorhome in an abundant number of ways so that you are living in the lap of luxury. You can add a gourmet kitchen or a luxury bath suite. You can put in satellite TV and/or wife. The possibilities can be endless for your Class C motorhome, and do not forget how much you will save on electricity and other utilities.

2. Some people who live in their motor home or travel trailer full time recommend selling your traditional home. This means that you do not keep it if you plan on living on the road fulltime. You could also think about renting your regular home, just in case. Do not think about paying a mortgage and RV note, think wisely and rent it out or sell it.

3. It will take time for you and your fellow RV traveler(s) to get used to living on the road fulltime, but it will happen. There is a definite change in lifestyle, but you can get used to the differences over time. Give yourself six months, if you are hesitant. Do not sell your home yet, try renting it for a small amount of time so that you can make sure you are comfortable with living fulltime on the road in your motor home or travel trailer.

A great piece of advice is for you to ask around. Get in touch with other motor home owners who have made the conversion to being fulltime. Check out RV blogs, ask questions, and get answers that help you in your decision making.

Do not get overwhelmed in over thinking about changing from being a weekend RVer to living in your motor home fulltime. The life on the road can offer you much freedom, and you can have this freedom with the luxury of living in your home on wheels.

Captain RV Dave — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:02:21 +0000

The Class C Recreational Vehicle is built on the standard Van chassis of the heavier duty class ¾ to 1 ton versions. The cab section is kept and the RV section is added on.

The Class C comes in 20 to 28 foot in length and range $38,000 to $68,000. The Class C has many of the same amenities as the larger motor home some with more luxuries than others. You just find them a little more scaled down from the Class A motor home.

The work very well for both extended stays and weekend getaways. They have extra bunk over the cab and the main bedroom is located in rear it adds a little more in sleeping arrangements then the Class A. This makes them a little more flexible for larger families.

The Class C RV will sleep 6 to 8 people and some of the newer models now have the slide-outs for the sleeping and dining areas.

Driving a Class C RV is more like driving a normal size vehicle kind of feels like driving a Van. The dually provides a little more solid driving experience with a chassis that is a little more heavy duty.
