Many families who are after a recreational vehicle find that a Class A motorhome is too large. Instead, they find that either a Class B or Class C is more what they are after. The decision comes down to what they are looking for in size, design, and features.

Class B motorhomes are also called van conversions. They are smaller than Class C options and drive more like a car. If maneuverability is a concern, Class B is the way to go. They typically fit easily into driveways and get better fuel economy numbers than other types of motorhomes.

When it comes to Class C motorhomes, they are often seen as a compromise between a Class A and Class B option. They drive similarly to a moving fan. While Class B motorhomes can usually tow no more than 5,000 pounds, Class C can sometimes tow up to 10,000 or more. This is due to its stronger chassis.
