Motorhome Classes | What Are They?

What Are the Different Classes of Motorhomes?

When considering purchasing a motorhome, one of the first decisions you'll need to make is which class is right for you. Understanding the different motorhome classes can help you narrow down your options and find the perfect vehicle for your needs.

What is a Class A Motorhome?

Class A motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious class. They are typically built on a commercial truck chassis, providing ample space for living and sleeping. Features often include full kitchens, bathrooms, and separate sleeping areas. 

Class A motorhomes are ideal for those seeking a comfortable and spacious home on wheels, perfect for extended trips and family vacations.

What is a Class B Motorhome?

Class B motorhomes, also known as campervans, are the smallest class. They are usually built on a van chassis and offer a more compact and minimalist experience. 

While they may not have the same level of amenities as Class A or Class C motorhomes, they are fuel-efficient and easy to manoeuvre, making them a popular choice for solo travellers or couples.

What is a Class C Motorhome?

Class C motorhomes fall somewhere between Class A and Class B in terms of size and features. They are typically built on a cutaway van chassis, offering a balance of space and manoeuvrability. 

Class C motorhomes often include a pop-up top for additional sleeping space and feature amenities such as a kitchen and bathroom. They are a versatile option suitable for a wide range of travellers.

What is the Difference Between a Motorhome and a Campervan?

The main difference between a motorhome and a campervan lies in their size and level of amenities. Motorhomes, including Class A and Class C, are generally larger and offer more features such as full kitchens, bathrooms, and separate sleeping areas. 

Campervans, on the other hand, are smaller and more compact, often with limited amenities. The choice between a motorhome and a campervan depends on your travel style and preferences.

What is a Low Profile Motorhome?

A low-profile motorhome is a type of Class C motorhome that has a lower roofline compared to traditional over-cab models. This design offers better fuel efficiency and makes it easier to navigate through tight spaces.

What is an Over Cab Motorhome?

An over-cab motorhome is a type of Class C motorhome that features a raised sleeping area above the cab. This provides additional sleeping space, but it can also affect fuel efficiency and manoeuvrability.
