Class B+ RV Archives - Page 2 of 2

If you're looking for a small motorhome there are three main options to choose from, including Class B, Class B+, and Class C RVs. With Class B RVs, by far, being the fastest-growing segment in the small motorhome market, due to the popular van life movement. But just because Class B RVs are one of the most popular small motorhomes right now, that doesn't mean they're a good fit for everyone. As each class of small motorhome offers its own unique set of advantages as well as disadvantages. So to make it easier to find the best small motorhome for your needs, we sorted these top 12 motorhomes into their respective classes from shortest to longest. So no matter what type of small motorhome you're looking for, you'll be able to easily find the shortest and best from each class. Best Small Motorhomes (Separated By RV Class) Make/Model Class Length Price 1. Winnebago Revel 44E B 19' 7" $190,000 2. Winnebago Solis 59P B 19' 9" $85,000 3. Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A B 21' 1" $105,000 4. Coachmen Galleria 24FL B 24' 3" $185,000 5. Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210 B+ 22' 6" $80,000 6. Winnebago EKKO 22A B+ 23' 4" $170,000 7.

Jayco Redhawk 24B C 26' 8" $95,000 12. Forest River Sunseeker Classic 2440DS C 27' 1" $100,000 Best Class B RVs (From Shortest to Longest) Class B RVs are by far the smallest and most nimble motorhome on the market today, which is one of the main reasons why they're one of the fastest-growing segments in the RV industry. As they are not only the shortest motorhomes on the road today but also the most narrow as well as the lightest. Which makes Class B RVs the perfect choice for RVers looking for an easy-to-drive motorhome that will fit into tighter spaces. Because when it comes to RVs and driving, the shorter, narrower, and lighter it is, the easier it will be to drive. But it's not all good news for the Class B RV though, as its smaller size can also be a negative. As Class B RVs tend to be very small on the inside and have reduced sleeping capacities compared to larger motorhomes, making them less than ideal for families and longer-term camping. 1. Winnebago Revel 44E Quick Specs Price: $190,000 Class: B Length: 19 Feet 7 Inches Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 9,050 Pounds Bathroom: 2-Piece Wet Bath Sleeping Capacity: 2 The Winnebago Revel, which is built on the premium Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis is the shortest Class B you can buy, and one of only a few Class B motorhomes that's less than 20 feet. Which actually improves the off-road handling on the Revel, as its shorter length and wheelbase allows the Revel to more easily navigate rough terrain and obstacles. But it's not just the shorter length and wheelbase that makes the Revel great for getting off the beaten path. As the Winnebago Revel also offers on-demand 4 wheel drive with hi/low range, electronic stability, and traction control, and can even be equipped with high-performance BF Goodrich® KO2 all-terrain tires. Winnebago Revel 44E Floorplan The Winnebago Revels also offers tons of boondocking features as well. Including a roof-mounted solar panel, two 125 Amp-Hour lithium-ion batteries with a dedicated second alternator, a 2,000 Watt inverter, a hydronic heating system, larger fresh and gray water holding tanks, and a cassette toilet. Making the Winnebago Revel one of the best Class B RVs you can buy for backcountry and off-grid camping. However, all of this off-road and boondocking capability doesn't come cheap though, as the Winnebago Revel is one of the most expensive Class B RVs you can buy, with an average price of $190,000.

Winnebago Solis 59P Quick Specs Price: $85,000 Class: B Length: 19 Feet 9 Inches Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 8,900 Pounds Bathroom: 2-Piece Wet Bath Sleeping Capacity: 4 (When Equipped with Pop-Top) One of the biggest drawbacks of most camper vans is their limited sleeping capacity, as they can usually only sleep two campers. However, there are some Class B motorhomes like the Winnebago Solis 59P that provide an additional pop-top sleeping loft on top of the van, allowing the van to sleep up to four. Which is one of the main reasons why this camper van from Winnebago is so popular, as it allows a family of four to easily camp and sleep inside the Solis, without having to sacrifice comfort. Beyond its four-person sleeping capacity though, the Winnebago Solis 59P, which is built on the RAM Promaster chassis, is also a really well-equipped camper van. As it offers tons of comfort and convenience features including a two-piece wet bath, a four-person dinette booth, and a full-featured kitchenette. Winnebago Solis 59P Floorplan In addition, the Winnebago Solis 59P is also one of the cheapest Class B RVs you can buy, with an average retail price of just $85,000. Which would actually allow you to buy two Winnebago Solis 59Ps and still have money left over, compared to what just one Winnebago Revel would cost.

Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A Quick Specs Price: $105,000 Class: B Length: 21 Feet 1 Inch (Without Ladder) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 9,350 Pounds Bathroom: 2-Piece Wet Bath Sleeping Capacity: 4 (When Equipped with Pop-Top) Another great option if you're looking for a Class B motorhome that can sleep four campers at a time is the Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A. As the Sequence 20A can easily sleep 4 campers at a time when equipped with the optional retractable rooftop with SkyBunk® sleeping area. Which by the way almost all of them are. Built on the RAM Promaster chassis, the Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A offers a little more length compared to the Winnebago 59P from above, with a total length of 21 feet 1 inch. Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A Floorplan And while this might not seem like that big of a deal, since it's only 1 foot 4 inches longer compared to the Solis 59P, in reality, it actually makes a pretty big difference. As that little extra length provides more than 5% of extra living space inside the camper van, which helps the Sequence 20A feel a little more spacious and a little less cramped when inside the camper. Beyond the extra length though, both the Winnebago Solis 59P and Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A are pretty similar motorhomes, as they both have roughly the same floorplan as well as features and amenities.

Coachmen Galleria 24FL Quick Specs Price: $185,000 Class: B Length: 24 Feet 3 Inches Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 11,030 Pounds Bathroom: 2-Piece Wet Bath Sleeping Capacity: 2 While Class B RV design tends to focus mostly on functionality and practicality, due to the limited interior space of a camper van. There are some high-end Class B RVs like the Coachmen Galleria 24FL that focus more on luxury and comfort.

As the Coachmen Galleria 24FL is one of the largest Class B RVs you can buy with an overall length of 24 feet 3 inches and a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,030 pounds. Giving the Galleria 24FL a very spacious and open feel on the inside despite being a smaller camper van. But similar to the Winnebago Revel from above, all these premium features don't come cheap.

Best Class B+ RVs (From Shortest to Longest) Class B+ RVs, which can sometimes be referred to as Class C RVs, depending on the RV manufacturer, offer a nice blend between a Class B and Class C RV. As Class B+ RVs are typically shorter and narrower compared to larger Class C and Class A RVs, making them much easier to drive. While still offering a cutaway body similar to a Class C, in order to provide more interior space as well as extra storage space. Giving you the benefits of both a smaller Class B and a larger Class C, all rolled into one convenient package. 5. Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210 Quick Specs Price: $80,000 Class: B+ Length: 22 Feet 6 Inches Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 12,500 Pounds Bathroom: 3-Piece Dry Bath Sleeping Capacity: 4 While most Class B+ RVs are built on work van chassis such as the Ford Transit or the RAM Promaster. There are few Class B+ manufacturers like Gulf Stream and Pheonix Cruiser that use truck chassis. Like the Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210, which is built on the Ford E-350 chassis and offers the powerful Ford 7.3L V8 engine. Which helps to provide one of the best-in-class towing capacities, as the 5210 has a 7,500-pound towing capacity.

As this small Class C motorhome is not only several feet longer compared to the previous Class C motorhomes but also features a full-body slide-out, which really helps to open up the interior of this motorhome.

But just because it's the largest motorhome on this list, that doesn't make it a large motorhome. Because when compared to other Class C RVs and Class A RVs it's still very much on the small side, as it's still well under 30 feet in length. Forest River Sunseeker Classic 2440DS Floorplan As the largest motorhome on this list though, the Sunseeker Classic 2440DS definitely has some features and amenities that are just not possible on smaller Class B and Class B+ RVs.
