Class C motorhomes have long been the preferred choice of many RVers, due to their more affordable price, higher sleeping capacities, spacious floorplans, and larger sizes. But if you've been thinking about buying a Class C RV lately, you might be wondering what the longest Class C motorhome is? There are, however, two Class C RVs that share the distinction of being the longest Class C motorhome. As the two longest Class C motorhomes, which are the Coachmen Freelander 31MB and the Gulf Stream 6320, both have the same overall length of 32 feet 11 inches. If you want to know more about the two longest Class C motorhomes though, make sure to keep reading.

But the longest Class C motorhome that Coachmen makes is the Coachmen Freelander 31MB, which has a bumper-to-bumper length of 32 feet 11 inches, exterior width of 8 feet 4 inches, and a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,500 pounds. Making this Coachmen RV one of the largest and longest Class C motorhomes money can buy. Coachmen Freelander 31MB Floorplan In addition, thanks to its large slide-out in the main living area and closet slide-out in the bedroom, this Class C motorhome also has one of the most spacious and roomy interiors out there. But it's not all about size with the Freelander 31MB, as this Class C RV is also very well equipped for its price point, offering many upgrades and premium features throughout the coach. Including such premium features as aluminum framing with Azdel composite sidewalls and cabover construction, a large power awning with LED light strip, touchscreen radio with backup monitor, and a ducted AC furnace to name just a few.

Other Longest Class C Motorhome: Gulf Stream 6320 Quick Specs Price: $95,000 Length: 32 Feet 11 Inches Towing Capacity: 7,500 Pounds Slide-Outs: 2 Sleeping Capacity: 6 Bathroom: Split 3-Piece Dry Bath The other longest Class C motorhome is the Gulf Stream 6320, which also has a length of 32 feet 11 inches, exterior width of 8 feet 4 inches, and a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,500 pounds. But the length, size, and weight are not the only similarities that the Gulf Stream 6320 shares with the Coachmen Freelander 31MB. As these two long Class C motorhomes share many similarities, including the same Ford E450 chassis, the same Ford 7.3L V8 engine that provides 350 horsepower, and 468 pound-feet of torque, the same number of slide-outs, and even the same overall floorplan and design. Gulf Stream 6320 Floorplan But all these shared similarities are not necessarily a bad thing, in fact, I might argue that there actually a good thing. As all the similarities between these two RVs can be considered a resounding vote of confidence for both the size as well as the general layout and functionality of the RVs. As two completely different RV manufacturers, after years of trial and error, both landed on the same general RV layout, size, and design. In addition, because these two RVs are so similar from a size and usability standpoint, it also gives you the ability to choose the RV that best fits your personal tastes and preferences. As the interior decor and exterior color scheme are the two biggest differences between the two motorhomes. The Gulfstream 6320 is also loaded with comfort and convenience features just like the Coachmen Freelander 31MB. Including such features as an outdoor entertainment center with LED TV, a large power awning with LED lights and speakers, upgraded LED exterior and interior lighting, a fully equipped kitchen with lots of counter space and a nice size fridge, and a convenient split three-piece dry bath.

And because Winnebago has been making the Minnie Winnie for almost 30 years now, they literally have had decades of trial and error to make the Minnie Winnie one of the most well-laid out and designed Class C RVs on the road today. Available in 6 floorplans ranging in length from 24 feet 5 inches to 32 feet 9 inches the Winnebago Minnie Winnie 31K is the longest Minnie Winnie you can buy and the third-longest Class C motorhome available on the market. Winnebago Minnie Winnie 31K Floorplan You might have noticed though, that the Minnie Winnie 31K at 32 feet 9 inches long, is actually only 2 inches shorter compared to the two longest Class C motorhomes. Which doesn't create a lot of separation between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd longest Class C motorhome. However, these minute differences in length can actually be found across all five of the top five longest Class C motorhomes. As both the 4th and the 5th longest Class C RVs are the same length as the 3rd longest Class C RV. Which means there is only a 2-inch difference between the longest and 5th longest Class C motorhome. But getting back to the Minnie Winnie 31K, like the previous two longest motorhomes, the Minnie Winnie 31K is loaded with convenience and comfort features. Allowing you to camp in comfort and in style regardless of whether you prefer to camp with full hook-ups at an RV park or dry camp while boondocking and camping in the backcountry.

If you're looking for a longer well-built Class C RV, you definitely need to check out the Triumph 32T from Nexus. As this Class C motorhome offers best-in-class build quality by using an all-steel and composite construction, which according to Nexus RV is 72 percent stronger, minimizes potential water damage, and maximizes thermal and sound insulation. And the great news is that Nexus was able to provide these superior construction and material upgrades, while still keeping the price reasonably affordable. As the Nexus Triumph 32T, is one of the most affordable 32 foot Class C motorhomes you can buy. Nexus Triumph 32T Floorplan But beyond its excellent build quality, another reason why the Triumph 32T is so great, is thanks to its unique floorplan, which is considerably different from the rest of the longest Class C motorhomes. Because while the rest of the Class C RVs on this list offer pretty much the same floorplan with a few minor tweaks, the Nexus Triumph 32T offers a completely different floorplan and layout. By providing a fully enclosed three-piece dry bath, an L-shaped kitchen, and theatre-style seating. But the most unique feature of the Triumph 32T's floorplan is its bunk beds, towards the rear of the coach. Which are universally loved by kids, as they provide a small private space in the motorhome that they can call their own.

As the Winnebago Spirit and Minnie Winnie are actually sister RVs, which means they are in essence the same RV, with the exception of their badging and minor differences in their interior and exterior color schemes. And if you wondering why Winnebago would make pretty much two identical RVs just with different names, this is actually a pretty common practice in the RV industry. As it allows two different RVs dealers to differentiate themselves from one another by selling different inventory and prevents them from having to compete directly on the same RV. But from a consumer standpoint, the important thing to remember is that regardless of whether you're looking at the Winnebago Spirit or the Winnebago Minnie, you are looking at pretty much the same RV. Winnebago Spirit 31K Floorplan And because of this, going with the Winnebago Spirit or the Winnebago Minnie Winnie, really just comes down to personal preference based on color options and your preferred RV dealer. As both the Spirit 31K and Minnie Winnie 31K offer the same floorplan as well as the same amenities including a full walk around north to south rear bed configuration, a large u-shaped dinette that can be converted into additional sleeping space, and a split three-piece dry bath. In addition, they both have a fully-equipped kitchen with durable Corian® solid surface countertops, recessed three-burner gas range with glass cooktop, stainless steel sink, large double door fridge, and a good size pantry.
