CLASS B RV

What exactly is a 'Class B RV'? It is a motorhome, but of a slightly smaller size than those huge, house-like RV's you see lumbering down the highway. A Class B RV is usually recognizable by having a bus-like front end, attached to the familiar large, square body of a motorhome. Some models are fully as large as regular motorhomes, but generally they are a mid-sized RV, smaller than a regular RV but larger than truck/camper combos and larger than camper vans. Technically, camper vans are small Class B RV's also, though the term 'camper van' is more common in the UK than in North America.

The Class B RV's blow away the competition in their 'middle path'; they are small enough to be more versatile than large RV's, have better handling, yet they have almost all the luxuries and utilities of their larger cousins; most of them actually have kitchens, washrooms with showers, living areas, possibly a bedroom, and sleep many people. Many more features than any small, stuffy, campers that usually don’t have room for this many people and rarely have showers, if even a toilet. You can use the Class B RV on really long trips and be fully as comfortable as with a larger RV, and yet it is cheaper on gas and more maneuverable in hard-to-drive-to areas.
     Below: A selection of different kinds of Class B RV's. Top left is the most standard, recognizable shape of the Class B, and others range from larger to smaller, vans, even streamlined space-age looking models.

The Class B RV's are so much easier to drive and navigate through traffic than any large motorhomes or travel trailers, yet they have all the same features. This includes sleeping room, showers, eating and cooking facilities. All this in a compact RV that is super easy to load and has plenty of extra stand-up head room. Use the Class B RV to tow your favorite toys, or even a camping trailer or family car!

Extra-winterized versions of the Class B RV are also available, for year round RVing. This includes a furnace, extra insulation, double-glazed windows and heated tanks.

Travel in luxury with the Class B RV, if you want something a little smaller and easier to handle than a full RV, yet still want all the comforts.
