Class C Motor Homes
Class C motor homes are generally described as a van style front end with a motor home on the rear, with sleeping accommodation's over the top of the driver and front passengers heads. These may have a Ford or Chevrolet chassis under them in a newer model year or an older version came with a Dodge and others brands of chassis under them. These are generally a bit larger than their Class B counterparts.
These Class C motor homes are very popular among people who travel by themselves or with several other people. They can have sleeping capacities of up to 6, and can provide everything to make travel and camping completely comfortable. Because they are a bit smaller than Class A motor homes, they are much better for sightseeing and finding the "off the beaten path" locations. They do have enough power to be able to tow a small vehicle, yet a lot of Class C RV's travel by themselves. They also do a better job of driving directly to the grocery store or finding parking at scenic wayside stop areas.
Class C motor homes are popular among younger RV families because of their lower initial costs and families with smaller children fit inside these with a little room to spare. They can allow their owners family to grow or be used as stepping stones to larger motor homes as the families increase in either numbers or the physical size of the children increases as they grow. Class C motor homes can come with up to 3 slide outs to increase their interior physical dimensions while parked in the campground.
Some of the Class C motor home uses include, tailgating at sporting events, Shopping trips to malls in near or far way cities, towing trailers (boat, horse, race cars, ATV's, motorcycles, or snowmobiles) mobile office or meeting rooms, or just traveling for work. These units perform well and being a complete motor home in a small package makes for uses that include almost anything.
Due to the familiar design and feel of a van style of layout, Class C motor homes offer a cockpit view so common to a full size van that most people feel comfortable behind the wheel of a Class C right away. These motor homes share the same drive train, tire sizes and brakes with those of a common full size van so finding service facilities are a bit easier to find than their larger counterparts that more closely resemble a truck underneath.
